    All three of the saves Guy Mowbray was going crazy about should be saved by a top level keeper.

    Guy Mowbray was the one who wondered why the lino hadn't flagged Sterling offside. *rolls eyes*


    I think the BBC should have let us do Pundit Rating rater than Player Rating.

    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

    Baracks that's the point. Pickford made the saves but Olsen didn't. None of the goals weren't savable.

    Don’t agree Thorn

    I don’t think any keeper out there was stopping maguire’s header.

    I doubt many could it have done anything about Alli’s either - it was very close range - you almost need to raise your arms as a keeper and hope the ball makes contact with them in that situation

    Fear no team, believe; we CAN do this!

    A good analysis of why Sterling still gets picked http://www.skysports.com/football/news/12016/11429885/raheem-sterlings-movement-is-crucial-to-this-england-team

    I get why Sterling in the team. I just feel that perhaps after an hour (unless hes actually scoring/assisting/causing havoc so others can do so) that Rashford, who is also lightning quick and can beat his man too, should be on with fresh legs. He's also a much more natural finisher.
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    ;ok I don’t think that’s what most are criticising him for, though. A lot of people really are blind to his contribution.

    I called a Belgium/England final after the second group game. I can't wait to revisit the page, quote it and be extra smug all over the summer when it happens. Just sayin' ;lol ( ;pray )

    I heard Alderz misplaced that post

    It's a good job I have a screenshot of it then as it'd be terrible to go back to June 27th and not find it ;whistle ;lol

    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

    If England win on Wednesday then they will be the unofficial World Champions (Croatia are currently holders of that title).
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    I had £10 on Croatia to win it at the beginning hope I lose my stake
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    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

    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
  • ClaretandBlueforLifeClaretandBlueforLife
    Well done Baz ;ok
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    So basically Baz it's France or Belgium v Croatia or England. ;hmm
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    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 )
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    Spurs are bossing it.... ;nonono

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