The IFAB even released a statement because of this.

 

IFAB statement Boudien Broekhuis, Communications & Administration Manager at IFAB:

 

“The Laws are clear: “all players, except the player taking the kick-off, must be in their own half of the field of play” at the kick-off; therefore, the referee clearly cannot and would not (from a fairness perspective) allow the kick off whilst players are off the field celebrating.”

 

 

:thup:

Looking online, it seems like the majority are against the whole 'finishing second' thing but at least Group G goes on last. Going into the Belgium game we'll already know Germany's group and the order of Japan, Senegal and Colombia.

 

Yes the big teams will eventually be played, but why not start later on? Italia '90 wasn't cheapened by the very generous route England had to the semis. Let's do that.

I don't believe in this playing to ensure you get the best draw stuff etc.  I would rather we tried to win, as a win vs Belgium would put confidence in the squad at sky high levels.

It's good to see an England team that clearly has goals in them, but Panama's defending was so poor that it's difficult to judge. When your best header of the ball gets on the end of a corner, right in front of the goal with no-one within five yards, then there's a problem.

 

What I find frustrating is when one of our back three has the ball with 20 yards of space in front of them, but lacks the confidence to bring the ball forward and draw a defender out before passing. What often happens is a midfield player comes back to receive the ball, and then just lays it back again to another defender, who is put under pressure by the opposition players who the midfielder has drawn forward.

 

I know our back three aren't Beckenbauers, but a bit more courage on occasion is going to be necessary if we're going to beat the bigger teams.

I think he's about our third or fourth best header of the ball, the others were being wrestled to the ground at the time.

*THAT* is the issue you have with that shit? :lol:

 

Tbf, it was only because they couldn't get Richard Blackwood to sign on to do another.

Changes for the Belgium game should be Cahill for Maguire, Rashford for Sterling and Rose for Young. Keep everything else the same.

 

Beat Belgium and take momentum into the last 16, which should be fairly favourable either way. Once you are in the quarter finals you can't expect any easy games but we should have nowt to fear.
