Whether or not they've just rehashed this from the sun is anyones guess, but....

Linetty is an AMC type, not what I'd call a pure central midfielder. That's what we're seemingly looking for, maybe two attacking types. An obvious replacement for Boufal, and some directness and pace on the wings. (one can hope)

Let's just call him Jah.

It's not like they have a link with Jorge Mendes, or anything like that....

Mane-esque.

Russia have had it quiet easy playing two truly abysmal sides. Egypt have nothing apart from Salah

Doesn’t really mean a great deal tbh. Just maximises the selling clubs profit.

That makes more sense! This guy is a decent attacking midfielder though, all the same. Poss slightly out of our reach imo

Isn’t he a Napoli player?

Les Reed

Poland are the worst team I’ve watched at this WC. A disgraceful performance really.

This game is dreadful.

Eh?

Jury's still out.

Bednarek on the bench for the Poles.

Fair play Maya and Japan. Thought he did well up against Falcao.

Fully deserved thus far by Japan.

Where are these rumours...?

I'm generally of the same view. There aren't really walk overs in football anymore, every nation has improved coaching over the last 10 + years, and even the smaller clubs in the lower leagues when we get into the FA Cup rounds prove that notion. Tunisia were there to make it a very niggly, tight and compact game. But we still carried a threat, I thought we still showed patience. I remember the Iceland game and we couldn't even string two passes together for 60 mins. We deserved to win the match and given that we now have a manager who keeps Harry Kane in the box when we have a corner, we've got a chance.

If it's the same player I've read about, isn't he the next big hope in Belgium football? Could be good from what I've read. Also, didn't we setup some sort of relationship with Club Bruuge when Jordy went there on loan? hence why this deal could be a real possibility for us??

Trust us to have the worst ref of the world cup so far ffs. They've all been pretty solid up until tonight. he was all over the show.

Some people have that idiot on ignore for a reason. Stop quoting him FFS.

He started the season there, but then picked up a standard injury which rulled him out for a while. He never really made his way back in after that.

Maguire certainly wasn't out of his depth.............

Yeah, they were poor. But they weren't going to make it easy, we had to navigate a very nasty 2nd half against a horrible team, they were probably marginally better than Algeria who we couldn't beat in 2010. Wes tuck at it though, didn't get sucked into a lull and the manager actually made positive changes which altered the game.
