Yes I know about Westminster but what about Manchester??? in all seriousness when was the last time you went, the regen just like Leeds and Birmingham have been spectacular over the past decade.

Manchester is of historical importance, it’s the industrial heartland that built this country, not toff centre (sorry playing devils advocate here).

Not my thing

Westminster palace is falling apart though tbf and will cost billions to refurbish

Would be good if Burnham follows through on moving functions of parliament up to Manchester.

If they can ease past Czech Republic tonight I’ll question that. Of course the other thing with Mexico is altitude. If they’ve played 4 games at altitude and we haven’t, then that’s going to make a massive difference.

So we were better than England in 2010 and Ghana were better than Algeria in 2010. They were defensively magnificent last night.

We’ll fly through until we meet a team that can outscore us (France, Spain, Argentina, perhaps Netherlands). The only other game that would worry me is Mexico at the Azteca in the last 16 for obvious reasons.

Nah the offside was after the non foul when the fouled player played it to a player in an offside position.

Yes sorry just picked up on that. You miss these things because English media don’t talk about it but it 100% was.

Nothing like it. Ghana were superb defensively and we will learn a lot from it. It’s a long ass tournament and a game like that is good as we will have problems to solve.

It would’ve been outside the box. Pickford misjudged a long ball and him and the attacker collided, and Pickford somehow got the free kick, wouldn’t have been a red either as there were players there, just a bit of an odd decision.

England won’t win the World Cup because the defence isn’t good enough as soon as they play v a decent attacking team we’ll get beaten. It’s got nothing to do with not breaking down Ghana

Actually thought that was a good game. Ghana played very well, there’s enough to take from it to be better next time. I swear if people start catastrophising then they’re silly.

You’d be fuming there

Ayew is a complete liability for these, surely there’s a better striker (I know Kudus is injured).

Maybe African sides are just good these days. Cape Verde drew with Spain and Uruguay, DR Congo with Portugal, Morocco, Algeria and Egypt flying.

If Ghana had a striker then they’d have us right in trouble here

You it’s bad when they spend half time complaining about a perfectly competent refereee

We actually need a goal soon here as Semenyo and Williams look decent

“Guy, say something that’ll make Leicester fans laugh”.

Already got videos of people in pubs tonight singing “Andy Burnham’s a willy puller” not realising what he’s done for football, Hillsborough victims and the general cultural improvement of Manchester. What do these people actually want?

You just know what’s going to happen

Heartbreaking for the lad

Bloody thunderbastard that
