Knockout Stages - Round of 32

[Samilktray]

Madeuke and Gordon suit the way I think Tuchel wants us to play but the end product is severely lacking to have both of them on the pitch

Find it incredible in 2026 that a manager is picking England players who dont even start for their club. Madueke/Spence etc are fcking shite. Feels like its going back to the 2012-16 era

Who the hell was saying Bellingham shouldn't be starting before the tournament as you keep hearing it

Do anyone know why Stones were dropped after the first game?   I do not follow football closely enough and cannot find anything online after a quick search.

It was mainly because he said he knew Ghana would sit back and counter attack, and he wanted Guehi's pace to cover that.

Would losing to the democratic republic of Congo be worse than Iceland in 2016?

So funny that a country as large as DR Congo get battered by tiny Rwanda every day of the week. Grow a backbone you weaklings.

Since when did Choudhury play for Congo.

(Note: If no-one gets that, it's because my wife used to call Hamza 'Sergeant Hair' (because of how the Adidas stripes looked.))
