As much as I'd like England to win it, but with three spuds in the team ........... we'd never hear the last of it ;weep

Spuds will only match our achievements if one of them scores a hat trick, another gets a goal and the 3rd is skipper. I think Harry Maguire has been superb in the number 6 shirt, but he’s no bobby Moore. Not yet anyway. And he plays for Leicester.

Rubbish West Ham won World Cup first

MunichHammer

If England win on Wednesday then they will be the unofficial World Champions (Croatia are currently holders of that title).

I had £10 on Croatia to win it at the beginning hope I lose my stake

chicagohammer

I put my money (and reputation) on Belgium at the start of the tournament- assuming we face them in the final, I am willing to lose both...... ;ok

I asked on this site yonks back “ could we play Belgium in the final “ the answer was yes, and it could happen

Vorselaarhammer

Chica believes....

Bazshuayi

I predicted a Belgium/England final ages ago BUT... When I woke up this morning I had a new vibe that France would beat Belgium tomorrow. I dont know if its my psychic powers messing with me or not. I am now very indecisive (if we make it past Croatia of course) as to which one of the two I'd prefer us to play ;hmm

ClaretandBlueforLife

Well done Baz ;ok

IronHerb

So basically Baz it's France or Belgium v Croatia or England. ;hmm

Bazshuayi

I didnt want to tempt fate by saying England would definitely be in the final (even though we will be). More a last minute hesitancy to believe it will be Belgium from the other side of the draw (which is overrated and just as difficult as out side of the draw ;lol )

Vorselaarhammer

Spurs are bossing it.... ;nonono

baracks_a_hammer

Yet they still manage to win nothing

I read somewhere that Man City only had something like 3 senior players who didn't go to the World Cup, and one of those was Joe Hart.

I imagine their pre-season dressing room is a bit echoey ;lol

echoey

When Joe Hart shouts "leave it!!" he'll hear the echo... and leave it

I should imagine it is driving Leroy inSane

Have to make up a five a side team with dustbins and bet the dustbins would still score against hart

Ahhh bless him.....

Nacer Chadli (Belgium) takes the corner, but he overhits it and none of his teammates are able to reach the ball.

Well well


Grrr wrong threaders

I look st Croatia and think they look better than us on paper especially midfield but then I think England are more than the sum of their parts and Croatia less than the sum of their parts. So maybe going to extra time then

Bazshuayi

I look at Kane vs Lovren and I like that.

We need to keep Modric and co quiet in MF, stay together and provoke pandemonium by getting to the final.

I am so missing England! Everyone I am in contact with here barely even know's theres a 'world cup of soccer'!

COYI (come on you Ingerland!)

IronHerb

Tell them it's the World Series of Soccer or the Superbowl of Soccer where you really do become world champions. ;ok

Not everyone of course, but there are times when I am simply amazed, I was out with friends from my car club the other night and a couple of them did not realize that the World Cup consisted of national teams.

No hope
