Jules72 Did Ronaldo actually touch that ball in from Fernandes?!

It didn’t look like it to me!

    Can’t help feeling we got our pants pulled down for Nunez. Dreadful tonight

    Suarez abusing the officials before he even gets on the pitch lol

    Love it

    Good game this… to add to the two classics earlier in the day…. This WC is hotting up, until England bore the crap out of us tomorrow at least

    Keep your gay tennis out the footie thread ladies!

      Sounds like Henderson is starting tonight 🥳

      Also Foden, which is at least positive from Southgash

        Christ.

        At least I don’t have to psyche myself up to watch it.
        Apathy is a wonderful thing!!

          Gareth Southflaps: “if I start Foden, maybe no one will notice that I’ve also drafted in my best mate Hendermong”

          That should at least lift the english up to a decent level of performance if so. He will drag that team to a comprehensive win.

              -si- we all know Henderson is Englands best player, some people are just jealous of which club he plays for, so pretend to hate him to look cool

                  Sheriff Mouth-gape: “With jordan, we will have the flair and creativity we have been lacking, the central midfield steel that we have missed and the passing range to open up any other side in the tournament, I think it’s coming home, you know!”

                  Winners win, rich! Players play. And hendos hendo.

                    This doesn’t compute.

                        RichM Phone off. Light some candles. Stick on some Billy Joel; “Don’t go changing…”

                            Despite being a ’Pool fan I’ve never been that big a Henderson fan. Great engine etc but I’m always amazed at how bad his shooting is. Like how can a pro footballer have such a bad technique?

                              He’s deffo not shit. It just took me years to see his value in that team.

                                gcw the three man midfield of him, Gini and Fab between 2019-21 worked with machine like efficiency. Run, press, win it and give it. Brilliant in his simplicity and absolutely vital to our success. Controlled so many games. You always notice him when he’s not there because we’re not as good

                                  Kind of think maybe it’s just better to lose and exit the WC this evening…. The rest of the tournament will be far more enjoyable without the negativity of Southgate’s England…. Enjoy the game lads 😃

                                    Iran could top the group. 🤞

                                    Thank fuck big Johnny Hartson not on duties the night 🥔

                                      I actually do like Jordan Henderson as player. Maybe not so much these days of course but certainly for a few seasons there just before and after the pandemic, he was top top and quite possibly a top top top player. The sort that is underrated in England but would be a god in Italy or Germany.

                                      The thing is, he just has this really weird energy. I think mongish is probably the closest i could come to articulating it. It’s a combination of that mackem accent, something slightly off about the lower part of his face and the way he carries himself generally. Just wrong.

                                      Jules72 Fuck me what a horrendous first half that was.

                                        What a strike, glad to see good things for rashford.
