Look what happens when you don’t play the ball consistently in front of the oppo

Absolute rubbish again. Too slow, no options.

Hadn’t seen that compilation before; fantastic. He was a little bit before my time a his peak (remember him going to Cosmos). He had everything, Messi & Ronaldo combined and just better than Maradona was (that’s saying something). Strong, tricky, pace, good in the air and amazing resilience. He’d have been unplayable in today game.

The greatest.

Wales were horrific. Let’s see how we approach Senegal, we need to set up to the players strengths, not worry about what the oppo could do. We lost the Euros and the last WC semi against inferior teams because we didn’t truly believe in the players. We should beat Senegal but we’ll be beaten in the dressing room before the French game worrying what they might do to us.

Germany will still go through, can’t see Spain dropping points against Japan.

Those goals take me back to U11 football. Not having a go but you can’t be scoring goals like that. It was mentioned in a thread earlier that the lasses can have all the skills and coaching but being able to score from 35 yards with a weak looping shot because the keeper can’t reach the bar is pretty ridiculous.

Anyone worked out if England would be better winning their group or not given all the unexpected results? I think Brazil would still be on the other half if they win their group.

Great goal, suspicion off offside on the initial header.

Southgate needs to fuck off mind. He’s not allowed us to show any real ambition. Predictable shit.

Get Saka off for Foden please, oh here comes Rashford.

Bellingham not been in it but Hendo with Rice: really?

Hendo for who?

We’re encouraging them on because we are so fucking predictable and there’s no threat that we’ll get behind them. Awful stuff.

Get Foden and Grealish on, take your pick on who to take off.

We were well off the pace there, little movement ahead of the back 4. USA didn’t really have to press to force us into mistakes. Quite a few poor performances. We can win but we need someone to disrupt their shape and take someone on. We’re playing the ball in front of them and that has to change.

JP hasn’t got a clue

Howe: Joelinton Bruce: Joelinton Howe: Ball to feet Bruce: All you can eat

Shocking keeping

The referee should have just not awarded the penalty. Got to show consistency. As for penalties for shirt tugs that was nothing compared to the Wolves shirt pull against us. Can you imagine if that today had affected the result - in the 10th minute of injury time.

Hills had a £10 max bet Kane >0.5 shots on target. I need to stop betting.

Longest first half ever?

This is where contact is made from the cross (good luck in deciding who makes contact), the other Ecuador player isn’t offside. VAR have taken a still that suits them. There’s also a new passage of play (albeit a small messy passage) before they score. It’s not going to affect the result but it was the wrong the decision and doesn’t sit well with me. https://imgur.com/gallery/pK93Opf

Bloody hell, when the ball is played nobody is remotely offside, there’s nobody offside after that either. That picture still is utterly meaningless.

The ball had already traveled about 25 yards by that point. If that was a genuine mistake by the VAR guy needs sacking.
