**** so you're right, I'm sure there was talk of him for England before the WC.
I've been outside briefly this morning and dear god-it's like seeing everybody on their way to a funeral lol.
On the plus side my windows are still intact-I was expecting carnage last night. Silver linings and all that lol

Yeah I seem to remember stuff about him having english parents or grandparents that would qualify him but they looked in to it and they weren't haha.
Think he's only played for Jamaica Under 23s or Under 21s
Well unfortunately I think anyone who knows anything about football in a tactical sense, learned from the game yesterday that Southgate is lacking. He's great at man management, motivating and media handling etc.
But tactically it was all wrong, especially in second half we needed to change and stem that tide. Their fullbacks had so much space, the system needed to be changed. He only made subs that had no impact, like for like players. It didn't impact the game at all tactically which it needed.
I thought Steve Holland was more in charge of the system in that regard, but they both didn't spot it seemingly as no changes were made. Everyone else saw it so why didn't they change the system.

Funny how people don't get the sarcasm and tongue in cheek with that... it's like an England fan parody song at this point we've been singing it in all tournaments. **** even at this one when we beat Tunisia in stoppage time.
Honestly woke up today feeling awful, I mean it was such a golden opportunity and we spurned it. Obviously there are still positives but can only wonder now what might of been. If Kane takes that glaring opportunity in first half to make it 2-0 then I think the game would of been over.
Save it for the Euros in 2020.
That's putting it kindly.... it should be.... we're coming home.. with a bronze medal.... if we're lucky.
Hey up wkd, just the man, what about Phil Foden to come into this England midfield eventually in a year or two? How do you rate him and what type of player would you classify him as? How good do you think he can be also if he develops.

Prob not this season, but lad should defo have an eye on breaking in before the Euros. He's a bit Silva/Bryune ish. Finds space off the left like Silva, but can drive with the ball from deeper like De Bryune. Skys the limit for the lad in that team under that manager.
I just hope that he gets the game time and chance to develop, Pep has been great so far with the likes of Sterling and co so I don't see why he can't have a good season. He's learning from the best players as well which is always great for a youngster/

He's staying with the first team this season, Diaz may get a loan out. Pep has been decent enough with those in the 17/18 bracket. Some are in need of full game time so have been sold on with return clauses (Maffeo/Grimshaw/Garcia etc). Prob would get away with being as a squad player if Pep arrived one season eariler, and had the squad built/sorted. Maffeo was the standout but could be back from that class.
did the 1 in 66 get found by some 1 dog
not just us in croatia, everyone did, every **** social media bragged bout it, every forum,every idk...its only a legit reaction, cant know the agenda behind overhyping that
nevertheless, gg wp england,could have been anyone's game
ps. that comment "cross cross cross cross, **** it worked" ****** my pants lol
regards from Split ,Cro
Well here is the most stupid game invented in tournament football possibly... the 3rd place play-off.... England vs Belgium.
Like anyone really gives a toss about this... but it would be nice from an England perspective to win and get a bronze medal from one of our best world cups in recent memory.
Sure it still means very little, but also would like to see players like Trent-Arnold, Rashford, Loftus-Cheek in starting lineup because they are three players who will surely be big players for England in years to come and next Euros.
Also Southgate to experiment with a different system... but that's asking too much.
