Another 0-0 on the cards then.

England stuck in the same patterns and unable to change.

Panama more dangerous as evidenced there allied to standing off and letting them have a crack at the England goal.

[adrian lord]

Blaming the pitch. Jesus.

Isn't the manager supposed to be very good or another PowerPoint technician.

Both Saka and Rashford are playing diabolically on the wings 

Again you’ve got wide players who cut inside left footer on the right right footer on the left. When you’re playing against a deeper defence they need to get wide and stretch the defence not cut inside into a packed central area. Its the current fashion but it’s stupid against this sort of set up

[egg]

We need changes sharpish. Rogers is anonymous. Get him off and put Toney up top alongside Kane. Spence on for Quansah. And someone on for Saka. 

[egg]

Or maybe not. 

[Colinjb]

See. Always more difficult when you are playing against ten men.

[Osvaldorama]

If only we had real Madrid’s right back in the squad 

 

 

[trousers]

Boom!

[Turkish]

Now they’re knocking one our about Bellingham 😂

[obelisk]

Panama not out this at all.

[Challenger]

Guess that will keep the overpriced, cat-piss beer flingers happy.

I'm not a fan, but it's madness that he's not in the squad. Chalobah was a daft selection after Tino got injured. 

[Turkish]

Oh good Madueke is on 

[obelisk]

They are now.

[trousers]

Boom! Boom!

Matterface talking out of his arse about Bellingham, big player who always rises to occasion when needed type of bollocks.

Oh for the days of David Coleman who wasn’t constant chatter, a silence letting you watch the action on the pitch for yourself and would then announce “ 1-0 , he doesn’t miss those “*
 

* even if he had for the previous seventy minutes 
 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

I did laugh when 120 million Anderson was out skilled by his opponent.

Good header from Kane to take the game beyond Panama.

"Bellingham. Who else?" As the pillock says after the event, in every game. Now moved into smug victory tone.

Matterface is a cringy tator, with a never-ending supply of scripted statements at moments of excitement.

Anyway, Senegal on Weds, then lined up to play Mexico in Mexico City.

[obelisk]

England's defence still looking remarkably ponderous and porous.

[egg]

Spence's cross was an embarrassment from an international player. 

[Turkish]

djed Spence is an international footballer gives hope to everyone 😂

[SWLondon Saint]

Ironically that second was a classic bit of wing play except from a centre mid instead of our wingers 😂 Good run into the channel, good ball and control, face up the defender, nice bit of skill to the byline, cross, excellent striker's header from Kane.

Old school!

[Badger]

Don’t panic.

Hendo’s coming on.

10 mins away from consecutive clean sheets. Solid.

Croatia take the lead again

I'm liking Eze. Positive.

The boring old bloke with nothing left to offer England.

we are getting pumped the moment we play any of the big boys

If we get beyond Mexico in Mexico (and the heat and altitude), we are on track to meet Brazil in the 1/4s then the Argies...

[Gloucester Saint]

At least it’s been livelier with Eze and Watkins on.

Absolutely.

They've commented that our defence isn't a strength and that our attack is, but even then - compare the likes of Madueke, Eze, Gordon to the talents of France, Germany Spain and you see that we are pretty light in depth of quality.

Swap Germany for Argentina and I agree with you.

[obelisk]

Into the last 32 then. I'm not confident about much progress beyond there though. The England defence sure had a tough time against mighty Panama.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

A couple of nice finishes. But Panama had enough openings that should worry Tuchel. The defence looked weak, even when the squad was announced. They've lived up to that a bit. 

[hypochondriac]

I know the golden generation weren't great but when you compare the like of 

Neville Ferdinand Terry Cole 

To our current defence. It really does show we are rather poor at the back.

Japan will do Brazil.

The way the draw looks it would be a shock if it isn’t France/Spain beating Argentina in the final

Clarke resigns from Scotland role

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c5yzq73x1p7o

He'd been a bit happier looking for some of this tournament. But he, like other managers, never took well to criticism from the` hacks. There was more of that this week, as they questioned whether he could have got more put of them.

We've seen a lot of his players, a d they've all got a mistake in them. He approached this to ensure 3 points from the opener, which was a must.

He wanted to try for a point against Morocco. He picked a more cautious line up, only to watch it concede within a couple of minutes. 

He went a little more attacking v Brazil, but it was always going to be difficult. Again, they were pants in defence.

He's been called considered to be a good coach, if not manager. So, a change could be a good refresh all round. Although that's not going to I prove the quality of the resources.
