    Everyone wrote this off but it looks like it could be one of the best World Cups for ages.

     

    Fans are loving it 

    The fans that can afford it (or even just those that can get a visa) are loving it.

     

    It was always going to present as a good world cup because America has the infrastructure needed to host it properly. Even if pitches are terrible.

     

    But only the good and the great or those that have spent their last penny have got tickets.

     

    FIFA's greed goes hand in glove with America's "big number good" mindset.

    If and when he goes there and immediately looks better, do not be surprised. He was stifled here and got worse the longer the season went on, the talent is clearly there and he's still probably 2-3 years ahead of most gifted players.

    I reckon he immediately gets that bit of an attitude you need to become a top player. He looks a bit shy here but I reckon he comes out of his shell at Arsenal.

  3. Something about Tuchel isn't there. I didn't think he was the right man for the job and I didn't think he did enough to convince me otherwise in the games leading up to the tournament.

     

    But so far he's behaved impeccably. He carries an aura about him where he's calm but ready to snap if you're not pulling your weight and his past successes tell you he's as astute as they come tactically.

     

    Obviously it's one game and the proof will be when we play a big team later in the tournament but I reckon he's got it spot on. First England manager in my lifetime that wants to play to the player's strengths.

     

    The front 6 complements each other perfectly. Nice to see we're not just shoehorning names into the team.

    Judging by the first two games in this group, England will walk this.

    It was obvious before the group stages even started, and now it's even more obvious.

    The question mark was whether an experienced Croatia side could be too much for us.

     

    But now that we've just walked over them, we should be able to make a couple of changes for Ghana and then play the reserves against Panama and win the group no problems.

    If part of the deal was that he came back on loan this season, do you think you’d want that? I’d be torn on having him if we’re developing for someone else but obviously if it clicks with him, he’d be a monster in league 1 

    I don't think it suits any party for him to come back for a year.

     

    I think Arsenal will want him in their youth set up with occasional first team exposure. Seems a more common method of integrating young players in top teams now. Long gone are the days where teenagers would be sent to the lower leagues to get booted about by men much older.

     

    We should just get as much as we can for him and let him go. No point in developing him and we shouldn't be paying money to keep him.

    Just came back to say how good Kane is. Genuinely the best in the world in that role. 

     

    And a lot of our fans still try to convince themselves otherwise becuase we sort of had a bit of a rivalry for 6 months 10 years ago lol 

    Incredible to think that he's the same player we had on loan all those years ago.
