whelk Posted 7 July, 2018 Share Posted 7 July, 2018 So what's the lineup? Can't say I've really warmed to many of the players. Doesn't help that there's no Saints involved. Pleased for Southgate though. Unchanged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadoldgit Posted 7 July, 2018 Share Posted 7 July, 2018 Surely being one of the best players in his position in the World Cup is the very definition of World Class. Trippier has played very well so far but would anyone have said that he was world class before the WC? Yoshi played well for Japan in their 4 matches and now people are calling for him to be the Saints captain and , presumably, be first name on the team sheet when before he was seen as an adequate cover at CB and nothing more. Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar and Suarez are all definately world class players but none of them have played up to their standards in the WC. It is a one off competition where, at the most, you get to play 7 matches. Anyone can shine or look poorer than they are in a handful of matches. If Trippier is indeed a world class full back, he will need to demonstrate that in the Premiership and CL matches next season too. To be world class you have to do it week in, week out.

Pleased for Southgate though. Southgate's stock has definately risen through this competition. He seems to have a blind spot as far as Sterling is concerned though. Having said that old jazz hands will probably we the match winner today! Good luck England. As for Belgium, I dont understand why they get so much grief. So many class players, strong team belief and they are the ones to beat if you want to with the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vectraman Posted 7 July, 2018 Share Posted 7 July, 2018 Well I hope Sterling and Alli repay the manager’s faith in them, they have both been very poor so far. Come on England let’s do this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio Saint Posted 7 July, 2018 Share Posted 7 July, 2018 Well, their national anthem's as dreary and boring as ours, so it's a draw so far. We need an anthem shoot out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelman Posted 7 July, 2018 Share Posted 7 July, 2018 Even if we do manage a win here, I cannot see us beating Croatia, France or Belgium. To me, a Belgium/Croatia final with Belgium winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alli and Lingard have stuck out for me as poor. Agreed, Sterling winds me up but he is causing them problems and asking the questions. My gut feeling is still a draw though, think we'll flag and the Swedes will pop one in, then on to penalties..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
