gcw Missed out Tom Jones. Don’t worry though, it’s not unusual..

    Mad_Cyril Pulisic? Brilliant first half. Proper like. Second half was right bottle job. Faffing about when he should have kept his head down and his pace up. Bolloxed the whole thing up in the end.

        zackster Some great yardage today by Brawn Sidewinder! And what about that goal tending by Hoyt Vandenberg?!

          Hoyt? Awful general. VandenBERK more like.

          Lukaku is out for Belgium against Canada. It’s still a tall order for us, but I’m feeling confident. I’ll be happy if we draw and would love to see us score. I think we’re going to come out firing full tilt to try and get an early goal. Belgium are aging and we’re probably one of the quickest sides overall at the World Cup, so it will be a battle of the old established guard versus the new and not so well known.

            loopdokter think Canada will be ok if you play a decent forecheck, dump and chase the puck, get some good screening in front of net, work the blue line and use the point men well.

                For fuck’s sake! 😄

                  17 Cristian Roldan

                  On the subs bench for USA…and not used. Very similar name to a high profile player out of favour with a leading Manchester brand.

                  Hmm. No idea what covid vaccinations they both have had but it does make you think.

                  hugopal So why aren’t you watching the BBC coverage over a VPN?

                  iPlayer’s ‘geoblocks’ still detect that I’m not in the UK (or that I’m using a VPN), using Astrill with a UK server.

                  Apparently, there are VPNs that get around BBC’s blocks, such as Express, but they’re actually crap for use in China (always being blocked).

                  So I use one that gives me dependable access to pretty much everything EXCEPT, it seems, iPlayer (and 4ondemand).

                      Dan unlucky with the penalty

                      You mean the freestrike ?

                        Yeah. I think your problem might be actually getting a hold of the ball. Belgium will look to starve Canada of possession and win it back high up the pitch.

                        But i do agree with you that Canada are something of an unknown force here, with some dangerous players, and they could definitely surprise Belgium who are not superhuman. I’d be a little nervous if I was Belgian, and not because of what I had in my basement.

                          Everyone banging on about how good England were,best players etc.No mention of Saka? Best player in the game? Hope he comes back to Goonerland in one piece.

                            strummer Never used a VPN for the iplayer here in Oz.Been a "Pirate"for years here.

                            They must have Astrill’s IPs blacklisted I reckon.

                              Some right good meaty challenges in the Argie game 😂
