My kids were pulled out of lessons to watch that rubbish.

 

They aren't quite sure if they like watching football yet, that's going to set me back at least 6 months.

 

On the flip side working in a Welsh uni is going to be fun this afternoon

 

:lol:

we dominated them in the first half, tbh. Second half we were a dumpster fire. 

I thought the US looked really good in the first half the other night. Started off really really well but struggled with the system change and the introduction of Moore as a lump.

 

I also think the early booking for McKennie really hampered him after such a positive first ten mins. I thought he was really setting the tempo up to that point and then played a bit within himself thereafter.

 

FWIW, I think the US centre backs might struggle more with a Wilson-esque type forward (running in behind) than a Kane nowadays (dropping deep and linking everything up) to the extent where I'd be tempted to change it up tonight.

spot on, thought we lost it all when McKennie was booked and Musah had to come off hurt. Our starting midfield 3 is quite class, all strong and very quick and technically sound.

I wonder how we will play versus England. Press high and try and create some havoc and nick a goal? Or play deep and play the counter with the pace we have. Will be interesting.

 

what is England’s biggest weakness defensively?

I think you've got to come out swinging tbh.

 

Try to grab a goal and rock us.

 

You'd think the longer it goes on, the more we should dominate but no reason you can't change that with an early goal.

 

I don't think there'll be much in it at all tbh.

We're the underdogs and really need to make up for the performance vs Wales especially after what Iran did, so we should leap out of the gates and look to make a statement, shithouse a bit and be cunts. I genuinely feel like we're as athletic as you, even if the talent gap is pretty wide.

 

I'm sure we wobt do this, we'll be meek and happy to be there.
