alistair Who fancied Argentina?

Me!

But I needn’t remind anyone they lost to Cameroon in the opener in ’90 and still reached the final.

      strummer Everyone banging on about how good England were,best players etc

      No one seems to be talking about us letting in 2 goals from a shit team.

          BlainSA No one seems to be talking about us letting in 2 goals from a shit team.

          I was, though not on here. A decent team will totally exploit the Pickford-Maguire-Stones shambles.

            The second goal - the penalty - was simply a gift from sympathetic officials.

            Their striker is also their one quality player - 6 goals in 13 games in Portugal, 5 goals in 5 games the Champions League this season. He showed that with his cracking finish from a difficult angle for the other goal.

              alistair Cameroon were very good in 1990

              I think you’re forgetting the magnitude of the shock at the time. Absolutely equivalent to this as I recall.

                Saudi’s second goal was a bobby dazzler.

                  Everyone loved to do a Roger Milla celebration

                  If only Netherlands had a top striker, I think they’d have a good chance of winning it with LVG at the helm and that defence

                  Wally You have to say Eddie Howe did another great job today.

                    Wally can’t imagine Guy Mobray saying “JESUS CHRIST, JESUS CHRIST, JESUS CHRIST, JESUS CHRIST. GOD ALMIGHTY, JESUS CHRIIIIIIIIIST!!!” to a Harry Kane winning goal. Let him prove us wrong…

                      A back 5 containing shaw, maguire and pickford will get found out against a decent side. Can still see england reaching the semis though.

                        We are now 2nd favourites to win the WC on William Hill. What a joke!

                        Still not sure who to back.

                          -si- A back 5 containing shaw, maguire and pickford will get found out against a decent side. Can still see england reaching the semis though.

                          Would love to see us reach a semi.

                            RichM I think Spain are decent value at 11-1. You can still get Holland at 13 on a couple of sites, and Belgium at 22 on a few as well.
