Dave Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 We'll either win or lose our next game imo. Busted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awaymag Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 What is this crap with Momentum! Let say we had beat Belgium tonight and then on Monday, Japan, score 2 early goals. You wont hear the commentators go on about momentum then. Focus now on Columbia, score early and then see Momentum for the rest of the game. Next Game, it starts from scratch again.

Disco Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Anyway fuck it. Bring on Colombia and whoever we get after. Howay the England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 How is it arrogant to want an easier draw? Don't get that at all. It's literally no different at all to wanting an easier draw in any cup competition. Probably because Japan are the far easier draw for the next round but everyone’s talking about a favourable QF draw like we’ll stroll past Colombia. Why is this being twisted like this? We know the teams we'll play and coming 2nd is far, far easier. Nobody is saying we'll beat Columbia, it's just we have a far better chance of beating them than Brazil. It wasn’t between Brazil or Colombia though It was between Colombia or Japan. Brazil still have to get through a Mexico side that looked really good in their first two games anyway. Aye I kna. It's playing the odds though and this is by far the easiest route to the semi-final. TBH I'd have cared more if Belgium hadn't already stated they didn't give a fuck about the game, it was a pretty meaningless fixture after that. If they'd tried then I would have wanted us to as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Absolutely hate the concept of losing being the better option in a world cup game like. You're going to need to play the best teams at some point anyway, getting into a losing mentality and trying to avoid tough games doesn't seem right at all. Might be why the stats say most of the winners finish top of their groups. But according to some on here that might not be true. Has anyone said that most winners don't finish top of the group?

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I mean, we didn’t try to lose, we just didn’t care enough about winning to play the first team. The performance is pretty much what you’d expect when you change the whole team. Both teams were shite, one player scored a great goal. Question is how much this effects the actual England team.

Disco 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 All that tells you is that good teams win it, and good teams finish top of their groups more often than not. Nothing about the value of finishing top really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon 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...
Hanshithispantz 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.

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...
