Brazil could go the same way tonight ? As I've already said, I don't watch football at all really, but games like that are why I always watch the World Cup ! Brazil couldent hit a open goal just now 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,568 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Rumour has it that Belgium will rest a good few players, so I hope Southgate fields his strongest team, and they play to win ! He's already built a team spirit we haven't seen for many years, left the ego-trip superstars behind, and could well have a team greater than the sum of its parts. At the risk of sounding like Motty, I want to see Trippier banging in those pinpoint set pieces and I fancy Kane to score a couple more - England 2-0 for me. At least we won't lose to the Germans on penalties ! (What's the German for "schadenfreude" ?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At least we won't lose to the Germans on penalties ! (What's the German for "schadenfreude" ?) The best scenario for us would be that Belgium fielded their strongest team and we did likewise because that would provide us with the best education and actually do us the most favors imho If we progress in the competition then we are going to have to deal with Hazard and Lakaku at some point maybe and for me I’d rather the players got their reality check now in a game they don’t matter........they would be better prepared then to deal with them when it does matter. Cant knock what we have done so far but you also have to be realistic about the standard of that opposition. The goal we conceded in the 6-1 win was telling and how that panama player turned our right backs/wing back inside out a few times had me thinking of just what a player of Hazards ability could do to us. Panama got a bit of joy down there and put balls in the box, with better quality players we’d have been in trouble a few times imho 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not getting carried away, but I really think we've as a good a chance as any at the minute.. I was thinking Mexico were flying then look what Sweden did last night, Costa Rica coming back and scoring 2 against Switzerland.... I'm sure a "big" side will click in a minute, but they haven't yet...they've all struggled against the minnows. This group of players are going to be together for a fair while now, and they seem to love putting the England shirt on, the country are behind them properely for the first time since 96 imo, the manager is conducting himself brilliantly and playing a system.that allows us to compete...maybe not this tournament but if like to think in 2 years time the Euros will be something they can really aim.at..... f**k it, we can win this...let's get all carried away with it for once... COME ON ENGLAND!!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's whether he wants to play the percentages or go all in. Edited June 28, 2018 by Kerny92 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with Kev in as much as I don’t think any teams hold that much fear for us so who we play dont really worry me, I’d just like them to get a test against a top side before it matters. And I totally agree, I think Southgate is playing a blinder on all fronts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Astanley 11,465 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Agree on Southgate ,I used to think he was another wots isname with the brolly ,,but there is a lot more to him than that . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
