Seriously, why not just play their normal game and try to win a winnable game? Is it due to the absence of James? Or are England unbeatable football powerhouses?

Colombians raging when England gives one back. Ref have lost control of the players.

England need to be cool about those antics. Colombia will try to get England players sent off whether they lose the game or not.

Colombians with their threatrics and playacting man. Disgrace. No way this game ends without a sending off or two.

If he is Rafa's man, I believe in an actual bid that was submitted. It's fair enough to bargain considering our limited funds and the big fee, as long as the club supports Rafa in however way he wants to spend the available coin.

Made a meal out of it.

Just hire Seville's DOF and save all that money.

Can we skip everything and go straight to penalties?

Hope either Mbappe or Cavani get one over him if they reach the semis.

For all the good of VAR, they haven't really cracked down on the play-acting.

Great play from Willian.

:lol:

Mostly covered by any Ritchie sale.

More pace on the wing, something we lack with Ritchie, similar end product including set pieces, younger with a higher resale value. Townsend as a direct replacement for Ritchie will be fine.

+10m Merino +15m Ritchie -0 Ki -18m Townsend 7m, part of which went towards Drubs. Upgrade on our team with negative net spend and position-for-position replacement?

I know it's a regular fee in today's market. It's just a mockery that we are spending a record 18m on Townsend when that number should have been broken many times over by now. Suppose in a way that there's money to be spent and Rafa has full say if he is willing to part with 18m on one player.

So, Townsend to be our record signing?

Goalkeeper could have done better though.

Another nice goal.

Suarez trying the same low FK.

You would too if you are playing with such clowns.

These guys are professional footballers.
