Momentum are s**** at football anyway. f***ing hippy lefties.

 

Very true, need a centalist party to win the midfield battle.

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.

 

Was that someone's opinion or actual research.

 

Actual research. Wasn’t the article I read but just saw something by freakonomics on momentum that referenced research - http://freakonomics.com/2011/11/20/football-freakonomics-is-momentum-a-myth-2/

Went out into the garden to have a beer at full time and accidently left ITV on the TV and just walked in to Danny Dyer telling Piers Morgan and Jeremy Corbyn he think's David Cameron is a twat for calling the EU referendum.

 

Bloke has just gone up in my estimation.

The only thing I'm annoyed about us losing this game, is that were on ITV again.

 

:lol: Only time I ever watch it is for football. Entire channel built on programmes for thick c***s.

 

BBC's coverage for this tournament is absolutely shite.

If England end up losing to Colombia, this whole 1st/2nd debate was a waste of time because the team clearly wasn't close to good enough.

 

Says the guy who was proposing the whole situation after we beat Tunisia.  Talk about pot calling kettle.

I wouldn't say I'm confident about the Colombia game. I've been watching England too long for that, but Colombia looked really poor today. Senegal should have beaten them, they just lacked a bit of quality and composure in the box. Colombia couldn't handle Senegal's pressing in midfield or their physicality. England should really beat them. Obviously, whether James is fit or not will make a big difference to Colombia's chances too - he wen't off early in the Senegal match and he never really looked fully fit from the start.

I actually completely and utterly disagree with this, the BBC have a decent amount of pundits, Shearer, Lineker, Lampard, Rio are all decent pundits.

Yeah I know, how is that a contradiction?

 

I think 2nd is smarter but also don't realistically think England will win the World Cup. So ultimately it's all a bit pointless.

Lawro's eternal whinging and shit jokes > Roy Keane, as per, being an insufferable prick.

True, but he's kind of that racist uncle that you detest but love at the same time, if that makes sense. :lol:

It says a lot when Ian Wright (as much as I like him) is the stand out pundit on there. Quite like Bilic mind and how he’s always trying to either but in or just get some words in lookimg left and right like a pigeon waiting for the other pundit to shit the fuck up or finish with his hands outstretched like stretch Armstrong. Touching Roy as well :lol:

 

BBC piss all over ITV when it comes to anything sport related, not that they are perfect of course, but ITV man :lol: Its like when Chanel 5 was first launched and tried to do the news. Today in the world, this happened. Turns to studio guest, thoughts? It’s news of course and news that is news to me. Right, to other news. Turns to same studio guest, thoughts? News news news new to me!

Fucking hell lads :lol:, so much ado about nothing. You play to maximize your chances. Southgate probably doesn’t care all that much which side of the draw he ends up on, he’d just been handed a great opportunity to rest his best players and give the fringe players a game and a chance to prove themselves. That’s what gives us the best opportunity to progress. The risk outweighs the reward. All he can do is put his team in the best position to succeed, and yes, that could also mean avoiding the better teams - not being afraid of them, just maximizing your chances.

 

Anyway, it was interesting if uninspiring. I thought Rashford tired late on, but was generally good with one almighty fuck-up. Rose was generally good with one almighty fuck-up. Alexander-Armold’s delivery got progressively worse as the game went on, but he found some good space out right in the second half (when they shifted over because they were concerned about Rose?). Dier was poor, Delph wasn’t much better, and Pickford didn’t exactly cover himself with glory. RLC did OK. They looked like the B team, basically.

I’m completely stumped as to how Delph is playing for England and Man City in 2018, Shelvey any day.

 

I’m happy with our position to be honest I’d rather go out in the last 16 than the quarters before my hopes get to high.

 

Was embarrassing watching the England mongs in the pub making out like we were going out of the World Cup.

Only one mong here, because it is coming home.
