Bliss Seeker Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Creating content to get the forum moving We should get past the group stages (EASY) . 2nd rounds exit is where my money's at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon_84 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 QF Unless we get Japan in the second round and then it will be 2nd round Or We don't beat Tunisia and Panama then it's the groups Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

foolsgold Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Quarter Finals for me. Think we will blag a winnable tie in the Second Round and then become stuck against Brazil/Germany/whoever we're lined up to get in the QF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFuller Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I reckon we'll start with a simple win over Tunisia, barely scrape past Panama, and then battle bravely against Belgium before losing narrowly. 2nd in the group. Then we'll get outclassed by Colombia (or somehow choke against Poland) in the Second Round. If not, Germany will almost certainly destroy us in the Quarters.

bestbrother Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I think its ours to lose in reality. Easy group Whats the 2nd round? Poland or Colombia? Thats as good as a bye Quarters? Is it Brazil? They wont fancy the weather, thats Semis Semis - its anyones game and we are boring enough to slug it out Final - even though Salah will score a pair, Lineker will nab 2 pens and we will beat the Africans.

Rob1981 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Glorious return to form this time. Quarter final exit but playing some half decent football in patches along the way. Used to be disappointed with those sorts of World Cups back in the day, but I would take it now like a shot. If we can get to the last 8 and go out feeling like only a poor decision, player injury etc. has stopped us going further that would be immense.

Redshift Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 It depends on whether or not the players succumb to the pressure or not. Following events this year I kind of wonder if we will get boo'ed by some of the Russian fans and this might motivate the players in a positive way. Or we'll go out in the last 16.

Pukey Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Quarter finals should be the aim, but I can see us losing out in last game of groups to Belgium and drawing Colombia which could result in us going out in the round of 16. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robokid87 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Think Tunisia will be better than people are expecting but they've lost their most talented player to injury so we should get past them fairly handily, Belgium are always less than the sum of their parts and the players seem to hate Martinez so we could beat them, but a dreadful 0-0 against Panama would be incredibly England too. Any of Poland, Senegal and Colombia would give us a pretty even game, nothing to fear for us but they'd be looking at us thinking the exact same. Japan are bad. Groups would be disappointing, 2nd round is probably par depending on how we went out, quarters and beyond would be lovely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haguey Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I think we'll top the group and rea h the quarter finals. We're pretty much guaranteed to meet Germany or Brazil at that stage and we're not beating either in reality. Probably the best I've felt about a tournament since 2006 though and its nice to be relatively positive again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted all of that has already happened, but I expect it to go into overdrive as the broadcasters take a final stand against its implementation.

Lermon Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 England have the annoying ability they could go quite far, or they could not. I think there is a chance England could draw versus a couple of really easy sides. And that could be the concern, can they pull it off post-draws via the extra time, or the penalties. I expect draws in the group should not impact England too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid1984 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 2nd round most likely. Since they most likely finish 2nd in the group and then lose to the group winners in the other group. of course finishing rock bottom of the group like last time is also possible.

pearcey_90 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Went with QFs, but if we get Brazil in QFs I will be more optimistic of making SFs then if we got Germany. Would love to be able to experience a SF at least once in my life Was only 5 for 96 so that doesn't count. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
