I was drunk and just taking the piss with that post last night fwiw I really haven't criticised England consistently either
-
Calm down Roy. Doesn't dislike England Does any mild criticism mean you dislike something like?
-
He beat Sweden and two shite teams lads
-
Jones mugged off by Hazard twice in a few months
-
Lovely finish. Just a bit more class from Belgium
-
That would've been one of the best team goals ever
-
Absolutely awful by Lukaku that
-
What's the alternative like?
-
Pity Belgium didn't have Meunier against France
-
Belgium going for it anyway
-
Neebody cared about corruptness when Germany did it for the 2006 World Cup

There’s been nee standout good LBs like. I was going to Vrsaljko there but I’m stickler for the deets on shit like this. I just picked Hernandez as he got to be the final but he’s probs been France’s worst starter. Went for Meunier for exactly the same reason, I thought he was excellent for Belgium and I honestly couldn't pick a left back. Couldn't believe how poor Marcelo was. He played like he had the runs or something. Thought Marcelo was great against Belgium, the second half anyway. He and Douglas Costa almost single handedly brought them back into the game. I'm disagreeing with you a lot tonight -

He was as consistent as Kane, and I'd give him the nod considering his best performance was versus Brazil and Kane's was versus Colombia. Both had awful semi finals. Haven't seen enough of Croatia really but Mandzukic could be a good shout -
Okay, humourless simpletons it is. Well there's a language and cultural barrier there like

MotD player. Now (with this move) potentially not even that. Good deal though, £13m buys you fuck all these days. You watch much of Stoke? Tbf he's earned that reputation for years, which is why he ended up Stoke to begin with. I can say as a matter of fact that's how it was at Inter Milan and I suspect it was at Bayern too. I don't particularly see why it would change now tbh. Luckily for Liverpool they don't particularly need him to. Players can improve as they get older. I always see this stuff but then every time I watched him for Stoke and watch him for Switzerland he's always looking to get on the ball and is the main creative outlet. 8 goals and 7 assists for a relegated side is pretty decent like

Could see him playing a lot tbh. Has a bit more guile than their other options in that area which will help against the smaller teams

Usually voted before/midway through the game iirc. It's presented straight after the game -
Some things don't change. At least we didn't write this article though: http://threeandin.com/ngolo-kante-could-be-the-worst-tottenham-signing-since-jason-dozzell/ Tbf with that Spurs one, the bloke writing it probably didn't write the heading and the article itself isn't that bad Except from describing/alluding to Kante as an attacking player and judging him on his attacking stats. Aye, proper well informed that. Clearly had never ever watched him. It's pretty poor, let's not not pretend. Not sure if he was playing further forward at that stage but I think I read that he did used to play further forward at one stage

Same time Cavani was rather average for most parts as well. Only against Portugal that he had a really good game. Thought he was pretty dangerous feeding off scraps in the group tbh. Would have Lukaku above Kane too but as I said it's not been a great tournament for strikers -
The tournament itself will be fine. People always say world cups are going to be disasters and they generally aren't. The toughest thing will be deciding when leagues stop and resume. Countries need a few weeks to prepare beforehand and a few weeks to rest afterwards. Imagine how grim it would be winning the World Cup and then going back to playing Bournemouth or Levante away the following week

Would definitely have Cavani above Kane. Kane's goals were all shite bar maybe the winner against Tunisia. Strikers in general have been poor though
