I've really started to dislike Neville.

Fucking well done England. Very professional and tactically coherent performance, big kudos to Southgate, he had a plan and it worked in every aspect. Has to be said there's a good spine to this side. From Pickford to Maguire towards Henderson and Kane.

Fucking Lukaku man. Such a joy to watch, has it all. De Bruyne has to be the best passer of a ball I've ever seen as well. Pure filth that Belgium side when they're on.

Whisper it quietly but I heard that it wasn't the PL when Leeds won it.

Eric Cantona I think?

Like the look of him. Seems like the kind of all-in-one striker that Rafa prefers - quick, can finish, shoot from distance, run the channels and capable in the air. Reminds me a bit of Remy.

Was really hoping for an England defeat to prove a point but fuck me did I enjoy that, fucking get in

Falcao wins a ridiculuous amount of headers for being 5ft10.

Tactical masterclass from Martinez bringing on Fellaini and Chadli

This is why you never go far, this is why you lose to Iceland and this will probably be the reason for you lot losing against Colombia on Tuesday. Unbelievable mentality Nowt to fear against Croatia, Jesus wept.

What's funny? He will clearly have to start playing deeper and he has all of the technique, vision & passing range of Modric. Modric covers a ridiculous amount of ground, probably on average 60% more than Messi does. This includes a lot of closing down and running into space, something which Messi in his thirties is probably not going to all of a sudden start doing haha. Would love to see Messi in a more relaxed playmaking role as he gets older but Modric is pretty much a box-to-box player.

He's 6'2 But still I'm very curious about the circumstances. If he doesn't think he's capable of competing with or ousting Diame from the starting XI I'm not sure he's up to it at all. Crying shame as he could develop into a monster of a midfielder.

Six defenders starting

Preferably we shouldn't be getting rid of any of Ritchie, Mbemba, Mitrovic and Merino. They're all PL quality and we need depth just as much as we need to bring in new players. Shipping out Ritchie would particularly be a travesty. Not that he's such a great winger, we should actually be looking for a replacement for him in the starting XI but he's obviously a leader in the dressing room and he's perfectly capable as a back up.

Hahahah fuck off Germany

Would rather we'd spent that kind of money on Tierney. Probably the only player in the SPL who's PL class and then some.

Live in Glasgow and seen a bit of Celtic last season and I'm far from convinced. Scoring 9 league goals for a team absolutely dominating in a trash league is poor. Did he start many games just this season gone? He scores 1 in every 2.25 games in the league since he's been at Celtic. He starts most yeah. He went through a lengthy dry spell this season as well and I'm not even sure he's the best striker at Celtic. He surely has potential but he severely needs to kick on. He should by all accounts be scoring a whole lot more.

Fuck man. I would never, ever have thought we'd make it to a World Cup. Would have needed to be ridiculously clinical to emerge from the group stages, but still I'm ridiculously proud of the team and I can't believe this has happened. Feel very sorry for Nigeria, they have a nice team and amazing fans but Messi deserves another chance. Feel I can now enjoy the World Cup without the threat of an imminent stroke.

That was actually seriously impressive in its elaborateness

Messi Lingard innit

They bought him 8 years ago when 20m for a midfielder was still a canny bit, like. No they bought him 4 years ago. Lazar Markovic cost the same that same summer.

Can someone remind me how Real only had to pay 20 million pounds for Kroos? Was he at the end of his contract?

This is hilarious
