Neymar nowhere near. Lukaku miles ahead in this World Cup.

He was good today. Great running off and on the ball, just lacking the confidence atm. His pace is key to us stretching teams.

Today impressed me tbf, we would give many teams a game.

Really impressive display today, Sweden didn’t offer much but we were streets ahead of them in quality and it showed. there’s a good familiarity with the team and a good shape which suits our best players. Getting the best from Trippier in an attacking sense will prove to be a masterstroke. A semi final is amazing and this is certainly a World Cup I will be telling my grand kids about. We’re in it until the end now, no matter what.

Reed actually played that RWB role for a decent % of his time at Norwich, that's where their fans rated him more. I wouldn't be against keepimg him around the place as backup to Cedric and rather than pursuing a new right back, put that money into another winger/quick forward type player.

PSG took him on loan for 12 months, with ' a view ' to complete a £166m transfer this summer. That was their way of getting around FFP last year, but it still seems it will be an issue for them to sign him this season. Could play into Monaco's hands really as they could potentially end up getting more, which in it's self is crazy as a few years ago a £100m transfer fee was fairy tale!

Yeah, Mbappe is surely going to happen. PSG can't afford to make his transfer perm. (apparently) due to FFP, so as it stands I think he's back with Monaco?

I think anything Semi-Final on-wards would represent a great WC. I'd be disapointed if we don't at least get to the semi! (and then a third place playoff as well)

Yeah, Toby was their RB - but was in and out of the team, not a regular I don't think. 99% sure VVD hadn't even been in the dutch squad, his call up came after we signed him. To be fair, being behind Christensen and Kejer isn't too bad - two pretty decent CB's.

Nah, how they're acting this summer is a proper mess. Total uncertainty over the managers job, players have no idea who they're coming back to. It's all a bit of a mess it has to be said.

He retired.

Maybe if we're potentially looking to go to 3 at the back? And loan out one of the younger ones?

How can you post like this, when you criticise people saying EXACTLY the same things about Southampton. Seriously, not doing yourself any favours here.

Vestergard is really highly rated over in Germany, a pretty decent standard of league as well. He has a stature similar to VVD and he's a good footballer. If you read up in some articles they say he did start out as a midfielder, but centre back became his home - so that kind of suggests he can play a bit too. I think we should be all over this one as opposed to Marlon.

We had patches, but we weren't great. The way we lost the grip after we took the lead wasn't great. Let's be honest, Columbia were there for the taking tonight, they didn't have much apart from their interesting tactics. So obviously it's euphoric that we actually won a shoot out, but it wasn't a perfomance i was hoping or expecting to see.

What the hell just happend there. Atmosphere outside is absolutley buzzing, just driven through the city centre. But christ, can't we just do it easy...!

Heads have totally gone. Brittile.

It's seemingly standard for West Ham to be interested in any player wanted by another club.

Man City close to completing the signing of Mahrez for £60m.

Don't really rate him, not sure he'd add much to us really. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nacer-chadli/verletzungen/spieler/59631 - he are his injuries.

Just because he scored a tap in? He has been garbage for the last two seasons, and very injury prone.

Maybe MP was his agent. Or he's his dad. Or something equally as perculior. Maybe we actually got paid to sign him, that would make more sense. The fee was just a bluff to make it look like we were active. Yeah, I'll go with that.

Amazeballs World Cup. Poor Japan. Lucky Belgium and Bobby.

Scrap all tactics. Fellani is on

A lot of their technical players are in Europe.
