  1. Refereeing in this tournament has been extremely lenient in the main. One red card? Could easily have had 5 or 6 an this is another example. Someone is going to get seriously hurt sooner or later.
  2. Isco is much more direct for Spain than he is for Madrid. I'm not his biggest fan in a Madrid shirt, always slowing things down. I prefer watching Asensio or James. But for Spain he's a delight.
  3. I know they're friendlies, but weve played Brazil, France, Germany, Italy and Holland in the last year. Only losing to France. That's why I said competitively on purpose. Different game entirely imo. But yesterday’s game wasn’t competitive. Belgium fielded their B team like us. Okey doke. My belief is it'll be a mistake long term but who knows. I agree with this.

Different game entirely imo. Aye but also Belgium didn't treat it like a competitive game either. Colombia is a real test. Could easily lose.
  5. Would like to get Japan if possible. Can see us losing to either Senegal or Colombia.
  6. They're playing Carrasco at LWB. And of course, managed by Roberto Martinez. They will concede goals too.
  7. Aye, so disappointed it didn't work out at Real. Proper old school #10 - give him the ball and he'll do damage. One of my favourite players.
  8. Team looks really good going forward. Not kept a clean sheet against 2 poor sides is worrying. No faith in our ability to defend.
  9. With his injury record I don’t blame him. Decent chance this is his last big contract.
  10. There was a period around Christmas maybe a little later where Arsenal were on Sky every week and Wilshere played 3 game a week. In 2 games in particular he was great.
  11. I'm team Raheem but he's been unadulterated pap.
  12. Put it this way, if he'd saved it, it wouldn't have been because it was a poor pen. It was in the corner. It's literally, not in the corner. It wasn't a poor penalty. But it's not in the unstoppable bracket.
  13. His feet are bang in the middle. No jump/spring.
  14. Young is a natural winger.
  15. And terrible finishing Don't pay close attention to him but he's always struck me as quite a composed finisher too. Lingard that is. Been bad today with finishing. Henderson's passing has been good. England can't defend. Tunisia defend... worse.
  16. Lingard (and usually Sterling) have such great movement.
  17. Maguire's in the team/squad because he's apparently better on the ball than Lascelles.
  18. 7 Assists alongside those 2 goals - using Sissoko maths - that's a £30m player. Seriously though.. I like Townsend but this would be an underwhelming signing. Would rather Kenedy. Townsend, Kenedy, a full back & an attacker would be great though. Also not sure why Palace would sell.
  19. Bielsa-ball in a 46 game season. Good luck. Very exciting for them in any case and I hope they get promoted.
