The Actual World Cup 2022 Thread
ScottBailey Nah, I’m not suggesting you’re a clown. I just think tonights result will be forgotten about if we get to the business end of the tournament.
Ah fucking hell!
mono-stereo are you not slightly concerned by the lack of ideas, the lack of quality against a team that are always really there to make up the numbers (much like us)?
ScottBailey I’m ambivalent about it tbh. Happy as long as we get out of the group stage.
You scum!
zackster sounds like our equivalent of Philadelphia turned up. Sorry about that!
Simon Rowntree is a bona fide legend, as is his employer Forest Echo News.

zackster Parody account - he’s done some other funnies.
to me England looked like they are trying to keep their powder dry for the later stages.
USA are a half-decent side. It was a pretty even game but i’m sure England could have switched tactics and stepped the intensity right up if they’d went behind. I think Southgate’s philosophy, rightly or wrongly, is that you want to play your way into the tournament and make sure your best performances - and most exciting players, apparently - are saved for later.
That’s my take on it anyway. I could be totally wrong of course. Maybe that was England and Southgate giving their very maximum for the 3 points, but my gut instinct is that it wasn’t.
