    Never, ever, ever, ever have your best penalty taker going 5th. ESPECIALLY when you’re taking them 2nd, hate it so much. That 5th penalty is not guaranteed. Either go 1st or 4th. The coach should audibled to put Neymar on that 4th penalty because they HAVE to score. 
     

    Awful coaching. And it happens over and over again. 

    Pretty sure they can't call an audible, once the order is set you can't change? But I do agree, having your best on 5th is so utterly stupid. There's so many stats that show how wrong it is yet teams still do it.

    It's boring from every perspective, but just think about all the NT tournaments over the past few years, how many classics with a lot of goals that weren't one sided affairs happened? Very few.

    I'd rather blame a team with 500 million worth forwards upfront that can't score against Stuttgart, Zenit, Leipzig and Celtic defense, with Dinamo goalkeeper behind them.

    I blame both tbf, Brazil have indeed been pretty average and wasteful with the few chances they have had.

    Ridiculous. We should have went with guns blazing just to entertain the neutrals. How do you play for penalties ffs? We're cautious but who wouldn't be? 

    Nobody has said you should go guns blazing.

    Understand why you guys are fine with this, but surely you see why from a neutral perspective we're a bit bored? Even if you have many understandable reasons for playing this why including bad attacking options? 

  4. Ben White immediately became close with Kalvin Phillips when they met at Leeds and afaik are still close, so I'm definitely not buying the idea that he was some kind of arse who didn't like any of his teammates. Phillips' definitely the type to try and get him involved with other groups and mixing as well, so if he hasn't it suggests some other issue.

    Star story definitely feels like it's adding 2+2 and getting 157. Might have had a bit of a tiff with Holland or something but I doubt that's why the sent him home. As others have pointed out, it just doesn't line up with a lot of things and you'd think it would be all over the place if it was because of that instead of just in the Star. I can believe an argument with Holland and them seeing that as a sign that there's something not right with him and going from there, but I'd be really surprised if the story is the whole truth.

    Well it could have been an aggravated burglary but it wasn't. Not saying it's nice but he's playing in a world cup. Could have gone and dealt with it the day after the match. 

    He also could have gone and seen his, obviously rather upset, family sooner. So he did. Because he and his family are human beings not robots.

    How can you be so lacking in basic empathy that you're criticising a guy for wanting to go home and see his family after a really **** experience? And what do you think Sterling's opinion would have been of Southgate if he goes "nah mate, you should stay and sit on the bench in case we need you, **** your family"?

    Hahaha, have you watched England's tournaments before? :D:D 

    We need to approach it like the Germany game at the Euros.  Keep it tight, let them have a bit of possession, don't over commit.  Then go and try and win it in the last half hour.

    The last thing we want is another Italy 2020 / Croatia 2018 / Iceland 2016 / Portugal 2004 / France 2004 where we score early and then try and sit on a lead.

    Said this last summer and I know it sounds counter-intutive... but we've got more chance of winning if it's 0-0 at half time then we have if we're 1-0 up but the game is already getting away from us.

    My point is still right if we go 1-0 with 20 minutes left :brock:

    Nah I get you, we don't want to be trying to defend the lead for too long but I do think it will be cagey and 0-0 at half time anyway

    Yeah, if England goes behind, it's more or less match over with their lack of pace at the back.

    Walker has been horrible for his standards and is obviously not healthy, really tough matchup for him against Mbappe.

    I think whoever scores first probably wins this

    Exactly. Should have played the match and gone home after given it was just a bog standard burglary and no one was in when it happened. 

    Would you want to work after a "bog standard burglary"?
