Ackter Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Awful English decisions: Not playing Rose as first choice Walker is not a centre back Rashford is not good enough Vardy offers nothing Dele Ali needs to spend more time playing to the whistle instead of appealing for decisions Sterling can't do anything once he's run from midfield to attack Still the best English team and performance for 25 years.

Bliss Seeker Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Close enough Who would have thought we'd see England play in a world cup semi final. Proud of the boys. Proud of the team. What a contrast to the last few tournaments This has been a great journey I am sorry that this thread won't go to HOF though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haiku Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 England would never reach the semi finals have they won against Belgium, so it was very well played by Southgate. Yeah quite likable squad of young players, but England is way bellow the class of Belgium, France, Brazil and obvously Croatia. Nice try though, this squad have the potential and in 4 years they might challenge for the trophy again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georginho_juventusygr Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Like everyone thought in the first game against Tunisia, England's defense is really concerning. Going to the semifinal only with hard work is already a good achievement. Good effort by the boys. It ended in the second half of the extra time in the semifinal. Heads up and onwards. Hopefully, there are good central defenders available so that any manager won't have to play Walker in the middle. Good journey. Southgate can close this by giving some caps to bench players in the third-place playoff. Nice to be part of the #ItsComingHome crowd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's wait for the media to bring out the knives now "IT'S ALL STERLING'S FAULT" In all fairness though, I thought Croatia would be our undoing. But, I think this will set a terrific benchmark for the youth groups coming through. Those players have experience of winning major international tournaments and will have seen how this (frankly average) England squad have done, and it could inspire them to really push on and fulfil the potential they've been showing in the 2017 youth tournaments.

Paul Bacon Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 3 games this WC we have conceded and had no creativity upfront. Tunisia we gave away the penalty and played poor in the 2nd half trying to get the winner. Columbia we gave up in ET after conceding, and tonight we played crap after their equalizer. Its like when under any sort of pressure they dont know what to do. The gameplay works fine until they concede, then it goes tits up. Southgate clearly doesnt like any of his subs either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedrik Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 In anticipation that this might happen, I wanted to post a lot of provocative ****. Especially after having a beers in the pub. But not going to do so. Have to be honest though, as said before, I think the England team is quite likeable, but the atmosphere surrounding this whole journey was very, very, very annoying. Croatia won fully deserved imo, hopefully the English players can get their heads together and go fully for the third place because that would be an achievement to be proud of. Congrats England, you've had a good tournament. Can understand if the disappointment is huge now.

The youth teams have done extremely well lately, there's still players like Ox and Lallana who definitely add something to us, Lewis Cook I'm excited about to see how he develops over the next two years (Leeds bias there though ) Hopefully this is the start of something great rather than the start of another miserable 28 years.
