Ira Gaines Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Tunisia and Panama were pish. It's kinda hard to judge them on those games but they won the games they were supposed to which is more than can be said for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 32 minutes ago, Dee Man said: Danny Murphy there - "I watched Colombia against Senegal and I felt they were lucky. If we play with the same intensity as we did against Tunisia (2-1, last minute goal) and Panama (Panama), then we'll be fine. I think we'll win". Aye, just conveniently forget to mention their 3-0 win over Poland, Danny. Until recently I genuinely wasn't arsed what England did in the tournament, but after being subjected to cocky arseholes comments like this over the past few days I'm now in full ABE mode. Get them fucking oot. He maybe didn't see that game.Which is maybe just as well, he might have called the Polish keeper "a clown". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 41 minutes ago, Mayor Wilkins III said: So that's the brilliant Sweden team then. While some folk are massively over rating them, they're exactly the type of side who end up in the Semi Final without anyone giving them a second glance before. Solid at the back and capable of sneaking a goal at a set piece. Then v England seems like exactly the type of game which goes to penalties.

John Lambies Doos Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Media arrogance, m8. I'm sure it's the same in every country still in it. I honestly couldn't care less who wins tonight... Too many chips on shoulders in our country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Confucious once said, "What you don't know can't piss you off", so the fact that I'm not subjected to Colombian pundits on a daily basis means that I can't hold it against them.

If say it's more representative of a chip on the shoulder to make comments like yours. It's the oldest rivalry in the game, plus they govern our country with contempt and avarice. They could play isis I'd be hoisting a black flag for the day. No chips involved. I can't fkn wait for them to go out and enjoy it immensely every time.

Too many chips on shoulders in our country. Maybe if we all got Swedish football coverage in Scotland we would grow to hate them too, but instead we just get Scandi noir which is generally excellent. In fact England making a shite version of Wallander is another axe to grind which never occurred to me until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I'd also want Ireland, NI Ireland and Wales to get papped out if they qualified. Australians are c***s as well. Get them to f**k. Not sure how that works on the anti-English bitter-o-meter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are exactly the kind of side England generally don't play well against: very hard to break down and capable of scoring on the counter attack. They're not a world class side, but a difficult team to play against. England never like playing against these kind of teams. If England win tonight, the QF won't be easy for them (not saying they won't win it though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I've bet on England to win the World Cup. My previous bets have been on Switzerland (after the Group Stage), Germany and Argentina. They're as good as out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Trippier looks very similar to Jamie Vardy in that a bet he's a horrible little c**t away from the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 On 02/07/2018 at 11:30, Scary Bear said: England have Kane, Dele Alli, Lingard, Rashford and Sterling. Most teams would be happy enough with those attacking options. There's not one of them that could get in France's squad, never mind their team. France were able to leave Benzema at home. How many of the England team have won the Champions League four times? Some could get in the squad, but none could get a game for Brazil, Uruguay or Belgium. There might be supporting spots for Poland and Portgual, but certainly not as main striker. Only Kane could get a game for Argentina or Spain. Do any of them get in front of Mandzukic? Probably not, and not in central midfield either. Rashford and Lingard aren't in the same class as Lukaku or James Rodriguez, who aren't in the same class as Griezmann or Mbappe. As for Dele Alli, he very much flatters to deceive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
