Great move but awful finish by Olmo there
-
Edit: I just looked at the table again and get it

What Spain would give for a prime Torres or Villa now
-
Spain and Germany going home from this group would be incredible.
-
Cowardly football from the first whistle from Poland. Saudi Arabia showed the game-plan and you have to be brave, play a highline and condense the midfield and don't give them and Messi time on the ball, Poland have just sat deep and let them play.
-
Ferdinand saying Messi is one of the best penalty takers in the world, isn’t it one of the areas he is actually pretty average?
-
Poland have to change the strategy here, it’s like a training game.
-
Farcical decision to award that. Justice.
-
Poland approaching the game thr polar opposite to how Saudi Arabia did. Low block everyone behind the ball and Lewandowski is hopelessly isolated, just feels like a matter of time before Argentina score if they keep surrendering all impetus to them like this.
-
Where was the opportunity to leave that for a GK? An onside French player challenges for the ball and it lands at a now well onside Griezmann, that’s what I’m seeing anyway.
-
Feels like the interpretation of the rules changes every 5 minutes at the moment. Should have stood for me
-
It isn’t derogatory but it is incorrect, Netherlands is the correct name for the entire country. Holland only is a region but for whatever reason over time was also used to refer to the country as a whole, the name change (to the official country name) was a step away from this.
-
Kalvin Phillips should be nowhere near the England side, he played about 2 minutes of football this season?
-
Maguire probably feels like action man making these bursts forward but all he accomplishes is occupying better players space and getting in the way.
-
Literally no point in Henderson being on the pitch whatsoever, look at the positions he’s taking up. Makes 100% more sense for Gallagher or Grealish to be on instead.
-
They have but to be fair England are doing the equivalent of parking the bus but with the ball, 80% possession so far. To clarify, possession for possessions sake - Extreme low risk, sideways and backwards football.
-
**** off Maguire
-
Are you suggesting the style today is different to how we usually play under Southgate?
-
England are just a talent-laden Burnley, so little invention in anything we do. Just a robotic plodding style with our main “threat” being the set-piece or hoping that eventually one of the numerous crosses, or the balls in behind for Rashfords pace pays off.

Still not sure if there’s contact, GK gathers it with ease if he’s not there but think it’ll end up as Fernandes’
-
Wouldn’t it just be the way of the footballing gods with so many people saying it’s Argentina’s year and Ronaldo seemingly finally out to pasture, for Portugal to win the World Cup.
-
Surprised Brazil are such heavy favourites for the tournament. Half the odds of the next, Spain & France.
-
Cameroon Serbia is an absolute belter
-
I do wonder if we won’t see Germany fully go for it as it seems very likely Spain will beat Japan and they’ll have enough to stick a couple past Costa Rica.
