Kid Icarus

The ref was absolutely shit but I'd have completely lost my temper if we'd had that arsehole that reffed Argentina Netherlands yesterday

They're the starters in their positions for both teams. I left out Kane vs Rooney, Foden vs J Cole, Saka/Sterling vs Beckham because they're at least debatable. I left out Walker/James/TAA/Trippier because that's the one position where you're right. I would think anyone would agree that Terry was a better player than Maguire, Ferdinand better than Stones, Cole better than Shaw, Gerrard better than Rice, Lampard better than Bellingham - at least for the time being - and Scholes better than Henderson.

Yeah, I think we can all agree that John Stones, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham, and Jordan Henderson are better players than Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, Ashley Cole, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, and Paul Scholes were. Howeh.

I see you've gone full Ronaldo in your time away.

His house was burgled and he went to sort stiff out. About as clear an explanation as you could expect

He hasn't though You were trying to tell me this lot are player for player better than the 'golden generation' the other day

Eh? Nothing inexplicable about it and he did come back. Irrelevant really. His England form has stayed decent despite his Chelsea form.

So has Maguire. I really wish people would separate England form and club form.

I love the craic we have with him when we're playing Everton, but I fucking love Pickford for England like.

Mount won a pen yi knacker

Are you aware of Sterling's record for England? Granted I wouldn't have taken Saka off - bad decision - but I'd have brought Sterling on.

Ah well

Messi or nothing now, I'm sure you agree.

Fans of countries that went home pitifully a week ago giving it the biggun

I'm going to spend the rest of my life saying we were the better team in this to the Southgate haters and I absolutely can't be arsed

Just about edged it, Harry Kane missed a pen, crazy.

I've suddenly realised you're shit. Fuck off

Absolute guttner

I cannot believe Harry Kane missed a penalty like

Losing like this is honestly probably worse than being tonked. We've probably edged it overall

That was painful

I was just going to say earlier that there are very few people I'd trust more on pens than Kane. I didn't want to jinx it

Can I just shock you? I like VAR

That's an obvious pen
