How hot is expected to be in Qatar? Expecting some games to be a slugfest of shit because of the temperatures 

It'll actually be cooler than the 1994 World Cup (temperature wise only) most of the time.

I doubt that'll get mentioned ever though.

Aye, our full squad must be in the top three in the world 

Absolutely no one should have this opinion about those players imo. No one had anything even approaching this opinion about the same players 2-4 years ago.

I've watched England, managed by better managers and with better players put in shit performance after shit performance at international tournaments, losing and drawing against the likes of Iceland, Algeria, Romania, Sweden, and USA.

 

But I'm supposed to believe that Southgate, the only manager to ever get England to a World Cup semi and Euro final did it because of luck. :lol:

 

Massive mistake to give him another tournament with this set of players, you've been terrible for ages. Southgate did well to unite the country behind the team but he's so far out of his depth now.

Is it not going to be super humid? I don’t know much about the climate there at that time of year

With global warning there's a pretty good chance a lot of potential host countries will not be viable for summer tournaments going forward.

On what planet do you not give another tournament to a manager who just got us to a semi and then a final though? That's literally the deep end

Southgate/Cooper job swap in January I reckon.

Cant see Southgate getting another club job mind. He looks like a lost bloke there. He should probably chuck it now. Still got the best tournament record since Ramsey? No?

Ahh yeah, that was a good one. Thank you, Rob Green.

Why doesn't he at least try different setups these last two games before the world cup. Things haven't been looking good for a while.

 

This current England squad is more suited to having more of an attack minded approach. 

 

Could see England not making it out of their world cup group at this rate. Loss to USA, draw with Wales and draw with Iran. Sent back home.

Mason Mount even more so, he's the inverse Harry Maguire.

Even for Chelsea though, Mount's quite a functional player, not very flashy, easy to see why he'd look ordinary in a team not playing well. Foden's a beautiful player but he was struggling to do even the simple stuff tonight.

I mean England have been average to poor for about a year now but to say Southgate's lucked the last two tournaments is just bullshit. He's earned this one but if we play like we have in Qatar we should be looking elsewhere.

Don't know about humidity, Just know the average in New York for July is 85 and Qatar rarely hits that in December.

As i recall it was the humid venues that caused the most trouble back then. - Just checked, its again supposed to be a bit lower in Qatar than pretty much anywhere in America in the summer
