Guest Howaythetoon Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Did Spain finish top when they won it? I know they lost their first game, but it wasn’t on purpose Yes. They drew their first game though. Lost it to Gelson Fernandes didn't they? Yeap, ottmar hitzfeld was manager as well. I laughed at Spain that day ha ha!

Interpolic Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Yeah, that's what neesy meant though I think, are Croatia on our side of the draw or can we not meet them until the final. We'd meet them (or Spain) in the semis. The other side we would likely meet France or Portugal. Although Argentina could shithouse their way there too. I know, man!

Kaizero Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Portugal - Belgium and England - Spain are the semis I expect, tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Mad how it ends up with one heavy side of the draw and one not these days. Lessen the venues after the groups and make it an open draw post R16 I propose. Have all QFs and SFs in two venues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlufPurdi Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Now that the dust has settled and we know who we are playing next, it’s up to Southgate to send out the right team and to get them playing the way he wants us to play so that we can beat Columbus. Let’s hope those rested return chomping at the bit and keep the dream of not facing Brazil in the quarters alive! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Sick of seeing the word 'momentum' tonight. Yes, it could backfire on Southgate if they lose to Colombia. But, then again, England could've lost to Japan. Playing the percentages, man. Job done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gottlob Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Forget about the momentum meter for a moment, England tonight used up the benevolent bounty of my cup of goodwill, which was full but is now sorely depleted. Competitive internationals against fancied sides come around but rarely, and this one barely came before I wished it were gone. Anyway, if the final is the objective, I don't think there's much between the two sides of the draw. Better Japan than Colombia, better the Swedes or Swiss than Brazil, and better the Argentines, French, Portuguese or Uruguayans than Spain or Croatia judging on performances so far in my opinion, then it's just the final to go!

Jayson Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Well we're all back on the same page now lets just hope we go for it & do well from here. I'll be impressed if we can get past Colombia & I've a feeling Rodriguez will make a miraculous recovery. That Quintero lad aswell may have a say. Kane could be the difference for us though. Kane is the player we haven't had for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I’m sure I read an article a while ago basically arguing that ‘momentum’ in respect of sporting mentality is a nonsense. In any event, would beating a weakened Belgium with a full strength team really make any difference? Some amazing amateur psychologists knocking around on twitter though.
