I know, just thought I'd mingle with the allegiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone in the area watching it in an LCFC-friendly pub in the Saint Pancras/Fitzrovia/Regent's Park area? Recommendations? PMs welcome. The Stag’s Head isn’t far from Regents Park tube, it’s not the biggest but it’s the most LCFC friendly pub in London. Lots of us gather down there for televised City games. Can’t guarantee anyone will be down there for the England match though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re a little concerning to be honest, unbeaten in a year before they lost to Spain. Certainly the game I’m sweating the most at the moment. I’m not making excuses obviously if we were any good I’d not be worried, they lack top quality players and have some of their better players missing, but we aren’t. Panama should be straight forward even for us and if we do the job in the first two games belgium shouldn’t even matter (plus you beat them so they must be awful) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got some undeniably brilliant players but they're awfully coached, were so under the last regime also, and I've never really seen them click as a great unit. I don't understand what their footballing philosophy is meant to be. They're a bit like Brazil, some great individuals but just not really a great team.

Guest MattP Posted 18 June 2018 Share Posted 18 June 2018 Just realised the winner of our group will likely play Brazil or Germany in QF, runner up will likely play Mexico or Switzerland/Serbia. (Providing the Group H opposition can be dismissed) Assuming it all goes to plan England v Belgium could be two teams trying to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still wondering if Belgians will finally click as on paper they should be dominating most teams in the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feasible now that the route to the final for the second place could be... L16: Poland or Colombia QF: Mexico, Switzerland, Serbia SF: Portugal, Uruguay Long way to go obviously but you couldn't ask for a better route on paper. Win the Group and it's Brazil or Germany in the QF and probably France in the SF Edited 18 June 2018 by MattP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as soon as I saw the result I was frantically working out what we need to do to finish 2nd. Win, win draw but with Belgium sticking a couple more past Panama is what we want. Job done.

History is littered with teams sinning things because of an easy route, look at Portugal last Euros - only had to beat France who were top class. One of the biggest myths in football is the cliche you have to beat the best to win something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd fancy us on that run in, I really would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
