HP1

Norway vs France final on this form

Kick off times for south Americans would be almost perfect if played in Europe.. similar to us when It was in Qatar and we had games on all day at 11am, 2pm, 5pm and 8pm

Mbappe laughed hysterically on the pitch when Kane missed the penalty in the WC QF In Qatar, so im quite enjoying this treatment of him.

Canada unfortunate as theyve been the better team. Morrocco should be down to 10.

The temperature is only expected to be 22 or 23 degrees so the heat won't be a problem, it will just be the altitude

No risk transfer on their part. Loose change for a player with great potential. If it doesn't come off they get their money back anyway.

I'll pay but just make sure you're recording yea..

And the guile of Dennis Praet

Finally. Keeper should have saved it though

We are all over the place in defensive transitions

Rashford cant be arsed to track his runners again unfortunately

Big Ange

Hopefully you're not an airline pilot

We once had Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Terry and Ashley Cole at the back with Gerrard, Scholes and Rooney and people go on about this current team as being one of our best. This England team is okay and no better. Without Kane and Bellingham there is no bite.

Day 2 - "lads let's not drink drive and also not square up to and abuse fans after another defeat eh...and we'll have a lot of fun"

Asia

He did okay Southgate, but it feels like we missed our chance in the 2021 tournament at home. That was the one we needed to win, against a decent but average Italian team. We weren't world beaters but we should have gotten over the line at home. Were a good side on our day but we just aren't at the level of the Frances, Spain, Argentina and id say Brazil too have an x factor that we dont have even though its an average team for their standards.

Regardless, we still needed a change. We were never winning a trophy under Southgate and he had unbelievable luck with draws in tournaments and a home tournament with peak Kyle Walker, John Stones, Raheem Sterling etc

Palmer i agree. Foden has never turned up for England and Trent gets exposed defensively for too often against good teams. Its alright looking good on the highlights reels with a few crosses against the likes of Panama etc but he would get destroyed against a Spain or France.

Said it for years that this England team has been overhyped by the media and English football fans. Other than Kane, who generally is a world level player? Even then for England he doesn't seem to perform when it matters. Bellingham steps up sometimes and Rice is a good player but he doesn't have the x factor that will lead a team to victory in big games like the other big nations have.

And we will get about 25 million for all 3. Just enough money to pay Winks, Vestergaard, BDCR, Choudhury and Rudkins salary....for a year. Happy to cheer you all up.

France winning with an assistant coach (as they should). Guy Stephen is someone Rudkin has probably never heard of before tonight, but probably now goes on his shortlist for next manager.

Bbc advertising games on itv, thats new.

50/50 game if Ecuador play like this against us

How in the hell can you not give that germany goal as a foul when seeing he kicks his head. These officials get paid to serve up this tripe.
