Fullbacks the wrong way round again

Four years between every WC, the older you get the less you remember of them.

Good. Sick of seeing him.

Is the stat that Southgate has managed us 24 times against top 10 ranked sides, and won only four games correct?

He's beyond cringe by this point.

You'd think he would be great at getting the best out of our technical, creative players. And he'd have Harry Kane.

You have Theo and Mbappe on the right, and Hakimi LB.

I think he's a decent keeper and nothing more. Look at the goals he let in, got a hand to both Saudi goals (IIRC) and Mbappe's second, yet he let them all in. Our fanbase is bigging him up to ridiculous levels after winning the WC though. Saying it'll take around 100m to prize him away and that he's undoubtedly world class. Laughable and a little cringe.

Matty Cash made there worst team of the tournament, average rating of 3 point something

Another GunmaN fan here Remember, no-one's perfect. The culture on here makes you feel you should/need to be at times.

Was a shame as I thought they were really unlucky against Poland.

Probably. I think it's unnecessary unless the opponent is also acting a tool.

Martinez was absolute cringe. That little dance especially. Throwing the ball away from a 22 y/old kid, and chatting **** to him. Shouldn't you feel confident in saving pens without those ******** antics? Acts like a complete tool for the whole shootout then acts the gentleman consoling people. Just doesn't sit right with me tbh.

Guillermo Ochoa also

Plus it was kinda nice having a load of football to look forward to when the weather is depressing.

Cristiano Ronaldo (although who knows) Lionel Messi Robert Lewandowski Manuel Neuer Thomas Muller Luka Modric Ivan Perisic Pepe Thiago Silva Sergio Busquets Luis Suarez Edinson Cavani Diego Godin Angel Di Maria Olivier Giroud Eden Hazard Jan Vertonghen Toby Alderweireld Gareth Bale (first and last) Hugo Lloris ? Jordi Alba ? Virgil van Dijk ? Kyle Walker ? Christian Eriksen ? Also Dani Alves and Karim Benzema, who granted played few or zero minutes but still. Certainly the final bow for a very large group of high calibre players this time isn't it? Also, Neymar will be 34 in 2026, and KDB 34/35. Lukaku will also be 33, and Son-Heung Min 33/34.

Done

What did you think of it? Solid 9/10 for me.

I'm a Villa fan, but our fans love in for Martinez is cringe, and this just proves it's a little overblown.

Well played
