Astonishes me when people slag off Kane like :lol: he's very easily England's best player and almost everything he does in a match is perfect. Scores loads of goals and then you get games like today when he assists a couple instead. 


You realise the drivel written about Newcastle isn’t actually that bad when it comes to England like. Not only that I can’t ever remember him not turning up for the national team. Even when he’s been shit, like the early Euro games, he doesn’t hide or shy away. 

 

I don’t like him as a player as he’s snide and doesn’t play for us but he’s probably gonna become record scorer during the tournament in 40 less caps than Rooney or 20 less than Charlton.
 

Griefing him after today is mind bending like even incorporating bias to certain players.

The worst thing about the World Cup is seeing takes on social media from Americans who only watch football once every four years. At least the equivalent people in the UK end up talking about soldier's wages when we lose, rather than that the US would win if they picked a load of NFL running backs.

our absolute mediocrity continues to upset you for absolutely no reason. It’s amusing; also I can’t agree more and I hate most of the casuals hot takes anyway but social media is pure trash anyway. Shit takes from a bunch of people looking for likes and retweets.

He has to be up there like. Wish he'd gone somewhere he was more appreciated.

 

There's a weird bias against him as well imo. His Champions League final goal is by far and away the best goal I've ever seen in any final and one of the best I've ever seen. It came 2nd to Ronaldo's overhead that year.

Kane used to be quite selfish and take loads of shots like, but it's definitely laziness from people who haven't noticed that his game changed about 4 years ago.

I was at work during the game, but just watched the highlights. My initial thoughts from that and the bit of the first half I caught:

 

  • A goalkeeper with normal length arms saves Iran's first goal. How much longer can we get away with having a midget who can't reach the bar in goal?
  • Bellingham looks mint. January transfer buy for us? :cheesy:
  • Wilson's pullback for Grealish was class. If that's Kane, he selfishly spunks that chance away. Really not that enamoured by Kane at all.
  • Tripps is still absolutely top class and an absolute joy to behold. Our Captain :smitten:.
  • Sako looked good.
  • Maguire looked OK, but wasn't tested at all In Defence. Same goes for Shaw. Not convinced they'll get a ride as easy as that one, yet they still leaked two goals against a shocking Iran side.

Could someone who actually watched the game give me a steer as to how off the mark I am? Cheers lads.

 

 

Liked the small armed reference, made me giggle.

Agree with most but i think that our centre of defence was made to look great in possession as the Iranies didn´t pressure us at all until we were ten yards inside their half.

When they did decide to attack, we were either unfocused due to the scoreline or we aren´t very good at defending, as both goals were pretty bad to give away.

*90% of the game was very very good and our attacking players were great. Think this is the best i have seen Sterling and Mount play all season!!!

Meanwhile the Mexico kit is fucking immense. Fuck's sake.

 

Yeah all the ones that hide the stupid curve just look like normal, decent kits. England's is just as bad as USA if not worse imo.

The US always seem to have class kits, it's a shame the template Nike are using this year is utter dogshite.

 

This will always be one of the best ever International football kits:

I don't understand why you're all saying 'Nike template'? They're all arguably shit (personally think England away, Korea away and a few others are class), but they're all different?

 

EDIT: Right, I get you, it's that one specific curved template rather than there only being one template.
