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.

      Oi oi etc etc.

        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.

          England are def in the mix as potential finalists/winners, as much as many other sides before anyone suggests sour grapes but think that is the weak link of the side and surely with the players at the WC it will come back to haunt you! I think the semis will be the end of the road.

          The argies fairly shit the bed this morning. I saw about 15 mins of the first half and they looked very comfortable, had just scored too, bit of a surprise to see the final score.

          “Strudders ,you know you’re off mute?”

          Ironic that “Go kart” Giroud is the main beneficiary of “F1” Benzema’s withdrawal. You could argue that he’s better for Les Bleus anyway.

            alistair he’s just equalled Henry’s record and yet he’s not even a tenth of the player that Henry was. It’s a funny old game!

                gcw although as our Irish friends will attest, one of Henry’s goals should never have stood

                  Remember when Edwand said Giroud was shit and couldn’t wait to get him out of the rent boys?

                    Cankles-McJeggings You could make a whole world class team of Edwand’s ‘shit/past it’ footballers…

                    Any more?

                      Anyone finding it a bit rich having a bunch of western countries who have built their wealth on the back of centuries of war, looting, genocide, slavery, and colonization having a go at the Middle East? The noisiest being the sanctimonious whites who choose to ignore their countries’ dubious history. Laughable behaviour.

                      STFU, take the money and play football. Otherwise grow a pair and boycott. But spare us the non-stop sanctimony, getting sickeningly hypocritical.

                        Rhouses, you literally leave turds in your house and leave a lower-caste dogsbody to clean it up, if it wasn’t for us sanctimonious whites educating you, you’d be even more of a bastard.

                          Lol. Buuuuurnz . Someone ring the fire brigade to put rhouses out. 🔥 🚒
