England making it so far had a lot to do with the bracket they went into. Good future prospect, though - but they need a midfield populated with true midfield people imo

I put this England team a quarter notch above Mexico.

No wonder Modric is playing so well. is playing for his freedom.
No way Jury finds him guilty if they win the WC![]()
lmao son he dragged that corrupt country to the world cup finals, they'll give him a statue not a prison sentence.
Giroud Is dirty, can't stand him.
I think Croatia is ed, Pitana Is gonna let France be physical, and that is exactly France's strength. It maybe their only strength, i missed a couple of their gamed but iirc all their goals came from dead balls/ runs in space/rebounds, in other words from pressure and physical superiority. For all the criticism teams like England and Argentina get for having poor midfield / bad service for the forwards, France is just as bad. They just get their goals from other places.
The 06 team that lost to Italy was much better than this one imo
I think this game will be very similar to France uruguay, if they can withstand the fk and corners they have a chance, mandzukic has to have the good game that Suarez didn't for uruguay
Was that tweet from the first time or the sceond time he screwed up the touch from KD? Seemed to be the theme of the match for Lukaka.

England are not top ten. They have plenty of places to improve, tbh.

Disagree. With Cavani out, Uruguay was very bare on offense. That will not be the case for Croatia; they have more options. However, their defense is not comparable to Uruguay's defense, which is top in the world.

Salty. England have nothing to be ashamed of, tbh.
I don't know about the physicality tbh, Croatia manhandled England and Nigeria (two physical teams) and France doesn't look like Russia from a mental standpoint. Tbh I'm curious to see how the ref whistles. If he lets the game get physical but starts with the cute calls on Griezmann/Pogba then Croatia are ed. Agree about France having poor service but disagree about poor midfield, France has excellent pressing (high and low) midfield and they'll get the ball back quick, which you definitely can't say about Argentina or England. France get their goals from dead balls, mistakes (forced by pressure) and counters. Given the collective IQ of France's midfield I'd say that's the best possible and I applaud Deschamps for not trying to be too cute with his roster.
That 06 France team was stacked as tbh, better than the one today in all metrics. 06 world cup was stacked in general, I am almost certain that any of the top 5-6 in 06 (Italy, France, Brasil, Germany, Portugal, Netherlands) would be massive favorites today. Even the next 3-4 teams were like today's Belgium: Spain, England, Argentina were all very strong. Tbh in retrospective that world cup's rosters bonkers. People love to on 06 england and their golden generation, but the level of compe ion in '06 was historical tbh, that '06 england would wipe the floor with this one.
I don't think Croatia has Uruguay's defensive strength, especially on dead balls. That's why I'm heavily leaning towards France winning, they are just a bad matchup for Croatia.
Hope we get a good game tbh.
God takes![]()
true tbh, England have definitely played as best as their roster allows it. Southgate did a of a job.
If it wasn't for a selfish overrated Hary Kane, England would be playing on Sunday instead of today.
Disagree on that. Sure Kane is a mn overrated piece of toilet paper. But he was not the sole culprit.
That niga Sterling was complete and was abused out there, ashley young played like ashley Olsen, and that terrible keepersure he blocked a few shots but was a nervous wreck out there that lost tons of balls, was out of place most of the time and instilled a whole lot of nerves to the rest of his team.
Not to mention that horrible coach that did the most horrid coaching in that game vs Croatia and even ended up playing with 10 due to his mismanagement.
Sure Kane cannot be a leader of his team but the rest of the team is majorly flawed.
You cannot win depending solely on stopped balls and air game. You need continuity in the middle and tough nigas that are not afraid of contact. Wngland has none of that

Dunno how Kane is selfish, but if he had toe poked that ball with the left, England would be sitting in a final.
Sure but they should be ashamed of that terrible trending hashtag of Its Coming Home
And also ashamed of terribly overrating their team, their coach and Harriet Kane

Nah. It's a game for fans at the end of the day.
We're talking about England. Where the are they suppose to find players like that? Borrow them from Africa?
I'm not defending Sterling because he was awful but Whitenaldo has to be a facilitator in that situation. He cost his team a shot at a World cup......
Toothless brits say hes better than a record vreakig salah![]()
Im feeling bad for Kane jigas
Brits piling on that poor bas hes just not a leader and a soft player but does not deserve the blame hes getting
Hopefully he has a hot gf that can comfort him
these fans
it's ok son, it has been a great tournament tbh, lots of great matches, too bad the teams are/were kinda poor compared to a classic world cup. So many chokes smh in the cup and in qualifiers.
Enjoy the last day, next one is in Qatar![]()
who the even goes there?
why go somewhere where you can be imprisoned for walking with hot girl with a top? or drinking a beer on the street? or where it's 30 deg day and -10 at night? who the is even interested in that ? corrupt gots smh
