What did he say?

Spineless sluggish and toothless. Massive disappointment so far plus shit team selection from Nawałka choosing his rusty old guard over young guns. Somebody must fire rockets up their arses or its farewell to this wc. I dont see Columbia rolling over for us

Same old WC story rabbits in the headlights No midfield :/

Sounds so much more entertaining than those usual Polish ones. Milik can fuch off

Fuchssake this pair of CBs is lower Championship level

Positive no bra tactics from Senegalese fans

Who would've thought! Well done Japan. Have to get Shinji on earlier next time though:) This group is getting really interesting

YESSSS BANZAIIIII SHINJI ON

Come onnnn gaffer san it's Shinji time...

Nice header. The Game still needs Shinji though

Japan without Shinji is like sushi without wasabi I disapprove

Come on bring Shinji on already !!!!

Maybe someone thought the piano keys pattern will make our performances more... moving (in a Southampton away kind of way) Otherwise

No doubt there must be a massive confidence drop there with Kapustka. He was among the brightest young stars of the Euros two years ago at 19, which would be a dream career start for every young player. Now 2 years on as Iguafol says he's gone backwards, because that's what inevitably happens when you don't play football and he was given fewer and fewer minutes by Freiburg coach, so he was feeding off scraps instead of being properly nourished and developed. (and that was his second consecutive season of bench-warming). I'd probably forget he had played for Poland (and succesfully) if it wasn't for Leicester and occasional cabbage thread popping up. As expected he wasn't even featured in a long list of 35 Polish players (published couple weeks ago) who are being considered for the World Cup. What worries me most is what's inside this (still young) cabbage's head. He gave an interview in January to a Polish sports portal and every second sentence was about God or Church or participating in a mass which left me very puzzled and worried about his future development. I mean lots of players are religious people (and many at the same time are very succesful at football like Kante or Salah) but it gave me an impression of a highly introvertic kid who instead of doing something practical (like clenching your buttcheeks and giving your best on the training pitch or hiring a mental coach as was suggested by the journo) prefers to hide in church whenever there's some obstacle on his way. After reading that interview I'm really worried about the kid. The best way to get back on the right track for him is imo to get loaned to a Polish Ekstraklasa team, as I can't imagine any serious club from any stronger European league wanting to buy a player who haven't played for two years and I'm not sure another stint at Leicester's (or Freiburg's even) U23 would bear any fruit. Sitting on the bench is pointless especially at a time when one should grow and develop. EDIT: It's not impossible that I'm slightly overreacting to that interview, but the whole of it and the manner in which his words were put down gave me such impression and a reason to be concerned about Kapi

So close, yet so far away. Massive clear out needed, from top to bottom. Rudkin, Puel, players, ball boys, tea lady, filbert guy... Let's hope summer will bring some good news. **** Spuds and Harry Moose breath. I'm off to drink
