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 Any of those teams in the 'easy' side of the draw would be confident of beating us Ronaldo v Stones in the semi.

Arriba Los Zorros Posted 18 June 2018 Share Posted 18 June 2018 Why oh why I am so excited when we all know it will end in tears? Happens every other couple of years. Then I go back to indifference and disinterest for 1 year and 11 months. Fúck it.... we're in with a shot this year!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you do have significantly the worst opposition of the teams you've just listed. Granted they're all better teams than you, so it's all relative, but Tunisia are naff. You should and almost will be beating them by a couple of goals. I believe you are a Wales supporter @Finnegan? I was brought up in Scotland from age 6 and was always amazed at how the Scots would talk England up (much more than England fans did), then, once England had predictably f**ked up, would say England were over confident and arrogant I'm not looking for fight by the way! I generally really like your posts. I'm just old enough to know that England can't afford to believe anyone is a pushover. I sincerely hope you are correct of course but the realist in me makes me cautionary. Better squads than this one have struggled with African (and other) 'minnows' before. Maybe my opinion is tainted by witnessing England 1 Kuwait 0, Portugal (then a minnow) 1 England 0, England 0 Morocco 0, England 1 Egypt 0, England 1 Romania 2, Nigeria 0 England 0, England 1 Paraguay 0, England 1 USA 1, England 0 Algeria 0, Costa Rica 0 England 0. This 'role of dishonour' are all World cup games England were supposed to 'win comfortably'. Every one of these games was painful viewing. Let's not even start on European championship let downs. Granted, I'm a born pessimist, it makes the disappointments easier to deal with. I'm not saying I'm not behind my country btw. I'm more excited than I should be today, I just hope you're correct Edit - plus, we have 5 spuds/ex spuds in the starting line up. That hardly instills confidence when the going gets tough.

shen Posted 18 June 2018 Share Posted 18 June 2018 3 hours ago, Finnegan said: I definitely think Belgium are enormously over hyped. 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. You could really say that of most national teams. Belgium set a joint record for most goals scored in qualifying didn't they? They could be better this time around, but I can't see them go all the way either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qualifying with a top seeding is different to the finals, even we are reasonably good at qualifying. I agree with the Welshmen they’ve never quite looked like the sum of their parts, if they ever do their are scary prospect indeed. Although they should win heavily regardless this afternoon I’m confident even we will be comfortable against Panama 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 18 June 2018 Share Posted 18 June 2018 @Max Wall there's probably a bit of me that likes to remind you how vastly you're the favourites so I can laugh harder if you lose and not be so disappointed if you win But I try a lot harder as I age to take a step back and be impartial. I was intensely biased as a youth but I'm more than capable of honesty where England are concerned now and generally speaking I think you'll do a very solid, very professional job tonight and stroll out with a two nil win. The difference between Tunisia, Switzerland and Iceland is that the latter two have extreme pedigree in keeping games tight, low scoring and defensive. Tunisia don't, tbh. I can't see them keeping you out for 90 mins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
