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.

Thought we played alright, had to deal with a really nasty, niggly Tunisia team. Clearly very limited, so they had to resort to other methods. Harry Kane just scores goals. One of the best strikers in world football without question, Spurs did well to sign him up on a 6 year contract. (Although we know how much they mean...). Big negatives for me were Sterling and Young, really, really rubbish. Young especially. Raises more questions as to why Ryan was left at home to be honest. But get the next game out of the way against a pretty non-team, and we're onto the next stage.

I haven't been this disapointed since John Ralls. He even had a medical FFS.

I think we just need to accept that as the going rate for half decent players now, not much we can do about it. Football has changed so much in the last 2 seasons. £25m gets you a decent player, if he's english and young then the sell on potential is greater - and the fee will be greater.

I think VAR has worked well so far in the world cup. It's the pundits who are making the drama out of it.

Loved that game, one of the best end to end football matches I've seen in a tournament since Euro 2004. (Ceczh's/Holland)

Not sure if they look that good, or if it's Iran who are simply terrible. They do have some nice attacking players though, so they do carry a threat for sure. Getting out of a group with Spain and Portugal is a tough ask though.

They're just playing on the fact that it's already known, so it'll be a bit of a tounge in cheek reveal I think.

Is he your boyfriend or something?

A nice laid out fixture list I think. More ballance than last season for sure. A decent start and a chance to pickup points early doors. December is geared up to be our usual null-points period, but we could get some blockbuster results over that time - maybe. Always like a home game to start and end the season, - and boxing day. So all good for me.
