Knockout Stages - Round of 16

[The Horse's Mouth]

Need stones on 

[RowlattsFox]

Centre backs combined with a keeper who can't demand his box is asking for trouble in this game. 

[deejdeej]

Great half of football man, hopefully the 2nd half is boring as **** and nothing happens.

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

Poor game management from us. Should be in at HT two up. Put ourselves under pressure stupidly.

 

Making Raul look like prime Diego Costa

[MPH]

I’m more nervous than I was before the kickoff..

[whoareyaaa]

Duno if can handle another half 

[Jattdogg]

We need an early goal second half.

[spacemunky]

Need to come out strong in the second and get that 3rd goal.

Deservedly in front 

Deffo.

 

Mexico have created next to nothing it’s all been long range headers and a goal from a non-free kick.

 

We need to keep the ball better and threaten on the break more but the Mexico press will tire.

Our defence is a massive weak point 

[FoxesWalk]

They look more dangerous from aerial balls than they should given their height. I think our defence is slightly off on their timing of jumps, maybe because of the altitude affecting the flight of the ball

[studentofthegame]

Konsa has been absolutely diabolical, crying out for slabhead back there

[ramboacdc]

Good 40 minutes. That last 5-10 we were ok the ropes

[RowlattsFox]

They carry on putting the balls in the box we are in trouble. But they have proven we can do them on the break.

I’m not so sure, Pickford has been the busier of the two keepers.

 

England have taken the sting out of the game, however the two goals we have scored have been really well worked.

Wtf 

[adam]

The defence is piss poor. If we don't sort it out at the back we will go out.

They’ve got head on a stick winning everything. 

[MPH]

I’m not sure about people saying we deservedly lead… we’ve had 37% possession and Pickford has had to make two worldies and total backs to the wall last 10 minutes..

[Bert]

It’s never a foul by Saka  especially with some of the stuff the ref has been letting go. 
 

 

[coolhandfox]

Should have taken Maguire.

 

We are playing 3 CB who can't win a header.

Might be a game for Dan Burn

Not a bad shout.

Yeah he’s not been great so far this game. He’s had a pretty good tournament though.

 

Bringing stones on seems like a waste of a sub though, we might need them later…

Exactly this. 
 

Pretty much sums up this World Cup. Inconsistent.

Bar a dodgy free kick that fell nicely for them, it was the perfect away performance.

 

But not looking forward to the next 50-60mins either.
