Dark Munster

Knackered perhaps.

That's a tad harsh. I think he deserves one more match before we call for his head.

Well the good thing about that is he does have relegation battle experience.

One could argue that's also true of the four remaining teams. But one will be. (France? Not the team of 4 years ago, and England more than matched them.)

Could they do a Greece? They certainly deserve to be in the semis, going past Belgium, Spain and Portugal, conceding only one goal (which as an own goal).

Bugger. England losing another quarterfinal on bloody penalties.

I don't fear it as well, as long as there is another Markus to bail us out. In the unlikely event that a billionaire doesn't ride over the horizon on a white horse to save us, we can look forward to the possibility of a few decades in the wilderness, like Leeds did and the skates are now enjoying.

Or worse.

Gapko... Ramos... Saints are creating superstars.

Take off the first choice players when the game is safe and bring on more expendable ones?

Nobody's slagged off Shaw yet. Stones has also had an easy ride from us so far....

Aren't 11 ponies better than 11 donkeys?

Not really, we'd get beaten by penalties.

I really enjoyed that match. The Dutch deserved to win, but the USA played their part in an open game. They (USA) remind me of Saints, some nice football in 2/3 of the pitch, but in the final 1/3 can't hit a cow's arse with a banjo.

Yes indeed. Not to mention that his attitude and 100% professionalism was the polar opposite of that wanker's.

Born in Germany to a Nigerian father and German mother, he was raised from the age of seven in England. Musiala represented both Germany and England at youth level, and eventually pledged his allegiance to the Germany national team for future games in February 2021. Shame he chose Germany over England, but I can't blame him. Unlike Haaland, he definitely chose the country that's much more likely to win something (although not this year!)

Mexico have only themselves to blame for their awful first two matches. Regarding White going home, are England allowed to bring in a replacement?

For the last time this season. Anyway, there's aways next season's first round minnow's draw to look forward to!

Yep. The Gakpo train has sailed over the horizon.

I think so too. Japan blew it against a truly crap Costa Rica team. Apparently the idiot manager made 5 changes from the team that did so well against Germany.

Indeed. Two rules about Germany: 1. Never underestimate them. 2. Don't mention the war.

If you can offer the cup with relegation and then immediate promotion, I'm with @trousers and take it. Cheers!

What are Wigan up to nowadays?
