World Cup 2026

[Willo of Whiteley]

Anthony Gordon is so overrated.

Such an average footballer.

Just realised the ref has his name on the back of his shirt. Wonder if we'll be able to buy them in the Megastore for next season. Always wanted a Stuart Atwell replica.

I heard the David Coote shirts have been in the sale for some time…

[benjii]

Scienza >>> Madueke.

[adrian lord]

The truth is we have got three or four, maybe five or six, very ordinary players.

[egg]

Madueke did well there, but helped massively by the run inside by O'Reilly.

This match is crying out for Cole Palmer. 

[Suhari]

I rarely watch England, because we're generally shit.

Watching tonight, and we're shit.

But we're being patient. Apparently.

I could have sworn he just said Prince Andrew is about to come on for Ghana 😕

That’s how I heard it as well. 
 

He wouldn’t need to worry about breaking into a sweat at the pace of this game so might well be suited. 

 

[benjii]

I told everyone the Croatia performance was poor.

Not much better with his left based on that shot.

Justly, right foot there he's going in the right direction, left foot he's all out of sync.

[whelk]

Yeah Alan Germans were hugely frustrated by Curecau - remind me of the score?

[adrian lord]

I thought Ghana were supposed to tire out and collapse?

One good cross in two games

ref’s shoulders are stupid

Yep the terror when they see our subs coming on will be palpable

Needs matching American Football helmet.

[John Boy Saint]

Disappointed Anderson went off - James has been anonymous by comparison

Fucking body armour for a ref.

It's not the 70s.

Ohhh. Ghana should score.

You did.

But it was better than this.

[benjii]

Does Madueke have kompromat?

Thank god for Google. Never heard of that. 

[Jonnyboy]

Did the England defender even get the ball then? 

[benjii]

Rashford with the R Kelly tribute.

[whelk]

Can’t we buy Fatawu?

[Whitey Grandad]

I've never heard of half these players. 

[benjii]

This ref is whistle happy.

That Ghana chance? No.

Konsa went flying in with two feet off the ground and didn't get any contact on the ball. I thought he was quite lucky to get away with that.

[adrian lord]

Ffs Kane

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

A finish Damien Downs would be proud of from Kane.

[John Boy Saint]

Oooosh converrsion from Kane

[Suhari]

This is why I don't watch England....even though I am a massive patriot.

The arrogance of the commentators and talking heads. The underperformance of the team.

It's like watching piss dry.

[whelk]

They must tire soon and fall into our trap

Sounds like you're watching England.

[benjii]

Nice finish, 'arry.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

That's the difference right there. Messi, Mbappe, Haaland all score that

I don't think it ever does.

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

Where's Henderson for the experience. 

[adrian lord]

Something tells me that this ref won’t get the final. 

[whelk]

Is that excitable idiot Micah Richards going to be waxing lyrical about England after this?

[Sheaf Saint]

Not happening is it.

[Suhari]

Where's the creativity and invention in this team?

[Willo of Whiteley]

Love taking our time even in stoppage time.

Morgan Rogers could learn to pass once in a while. Rashford looks pissed at hi

Palmer and Foden?

Ref didn't affect the result but he's an idiot.

Grealish and Cam Archer?

[64saint]

I think that was called a realty check

Never Ghana happen.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

A fair result.

Ghana got it past Pickford twice. England hit the post and Kane thumped it over.

There was a bit more intensity when Saka came on. But overall, nothing suggesting they had worked on ideas to break an opponent down.

[SNSUN]

I'm on 67 minutes on my Sky + viewing and the wife just told me the final score. I may as well not bother watching the rest. Glad I'm not in the pub for this one. (But I am for Panama...)
