Razzler Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I think it's very difficult to gauge how well a team will do based on friendlies this close to the tournament, are teams really at 100% going full bore? All you can do is try to win but we have seen it all before with England, we have struggled in warm ups and beaten big sides and the difference on our tournament performance is zero. It's all about playing the tournament and belief and confidence. Southgate is saying the right things but we have also seen this over and over in the past too. Absolutely nothing matters except our approach to that Tunisia game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHerringbone Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Hope you're right because if Spain labour to beat Tunisia, then I suspect we can easily drop points and put huge pressure on ourselves for the second game. Can't believe the World Cup starts this week! ⚽🍻 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like it would for me because Rodrigo/Aspas link up with the play better then Costa does, despite Costa being a better striker. Feel they need some pace in there though and would play Asensio over Silva, even though I adore Silva Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astafjevs Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I think they'll play Diego Costa over Rodrigo. Not sure about Koke or Thiago, don't know who gets the nod there. Obviously Carvajal. Otherwise I think that's their XI. It is slow, I think they'll lose to a team that can overrun them. There's an argument that Iniesta should be in the bench Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTHerringbone Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I didn't realise how many goals Neymar had scored for Brazil - is he still only about 26? Easily on track to surpass Pele's total if so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily on track to surpass Pele's total if so. Yes, born in 1992. I think he will surpass Pelé but he will never become considered better than Pelé, no matter how many goals he scores. Pelé had already done a lot more at this age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunmaN1905 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Yeah, Pele wasn't a real striker and Ronaldo was injured for 3 years of his prime. Can see Neymar getting a 100, easily. Surprised that Romario didn't score more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelé was a much more prolific scorer than Neymar, but Neymar plays games a lot more often for Brazil as the national team play far more games nowadays. Pelé scored those 77 goals in 92 games, while Neymar scored his 55 in 85 games. Romário missed a lot of Brazil games due to injuries and bad relations with managers.

They looked dead on their feet with 10 to go which really shocked me. Get involved in a physical open game, they could be right in the ****. Boateng/Hummels need to suddenly switch it on too. Both looked slow and playing a zig zag high line is a recipe for disaster against competent sides. Saudi got through multiple times and they’re ****. Didn't turn it on then.
