World Cup 2018

We're playing alright to be fair.

We're playing alright to be fair.

Just good enough to give the nation a glimmer of hope.

I got an email from the England Supporters Club offering me tickets for the Costa Rica game. I thought I might have fancied it being the last friendly before they head off to Russia and it's at Elland Road, which is far closer to me than Wembley.

But the tickets were 35 quid, or 55 quid.

For a friendly.

Yeah me too. For £20 or maybe 25 I'd have gone to the Nigeria game today at Wembley, but not for £35 for the upper tier (plus £1.50 to print your own ticket off at home!) fuck that.

Glimmer?!? I've just stuck £200 on us getting to the final.

 

[binka]

England are looking pretty good. Would rather vardy over kane and we'd actually be unstoppable

Timing.

Really

I just stuck £2,000 on them getting two draws and qualifying from the group stage on goal difference.

 

[binka]

Timing.

Not a bad goal from kane although the gk definitely fucked it up. Vardy would have had a hattrick by now

Nah of course not. I'm just trying to wind up the Welsh and the Scots. #itscominghome


Would have got away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids


Your bet sounds better.

Came here to post the obvious and see I'm well late

[JimW]

Oh Raheem.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Decent performance really but bloody hell, Sterling is such an unintelligent footballer.

 

[Badgers]

Decent ish first half

Second half has been pretty blah but a lot of substitutions and it is only a freindly after all

 

[JimW]

Main controversy is how this Nigeria shirt looks anything like eagle's wings.

 

[tommers]

Bought five flags for the car.

 

[binka]

Welbeck is useless

 

[sealion]

Sterling is such an unintelligent footballer.

In an england shirt he is.

 

[JimW]

Welbeck is useless

He looked clear through at the end and wouldn't have a go.

 

[Badgers]

He looked clear through at the end and wouldn't have a go.

Or pass

 

[Badgers]

Is it only England that start so many players who can’t command a first team place at their clubs. Delph, Rose, Rashford, Cahill, Wellbeck, others?

Why bring on Wellbeck when you’ve got Vardy?

 

[binka]

Why bring on Wellbeck when you’ve got Vardy?

There is no possible situation where Welbeck should be on the pitch ahead of Vardy

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Cos it’s a friendly & we don’t want decent players getting injured 2 weeks before the tourney?

 

[tommers]

Well I don't think it will be dull. We have a lot of attacking midfielders all scampering about. Better teams are going to walk through us mind but whatever, should be a laugh.

Why are we playing walker as a centre back? I missed that bit. Surely he'd be better as a wing back? Trippier is alright but not sure he's good enough to play other people out of position for.

 

[Badgers]

Cos it’s a friendly & we don’t want decent players getting injured 2 weeks before the tourney?

No benefit in practicing then?

 

[1927]

A win against Nigeria, England are clearly going to win the World Cup!

So much funnier if they get injured in the first game rather than before they go.

 

[tommers]

yes, clearly. That's what we've been saying.
