Brennan Johnson going missing in big games again ?

I think the 'lesser' teams are catching up. But it so much depends on depth of talent - when the talked about Costa Rica they said 3 (?) Cups ago they topped their group, but last time out they bombed. On the other hand Japan nearly got through to the semi-finals last time out...

It’s why I don’t do predictions very often!
Hugely fascinating set of results though, are we seeing a blip by the top nations/continents because the best players over the last 10 years are over the hill on this stage or are other nations/continents starting to catch up and are more competitive?
Only France and England really have better squads than they did 10 years ago and France are currently relying on Giroud
Then again, Spain have just gone 3-0 up which kinda undermines what I’m saying 

Quite a lot of mid tier teams have picked up draws. My prediction today is whilst the rest of today and tomorrow might be a bit of a damp squib, it will really pick up again on Friday and Saturday as everyone needs to win. 

Damp squid AFTER Germany Vs Japan ofcourse
…where’s that edit button gone???

As
a) Lycett got millions talking about this 
b) Raised awareness
and c) he gave £10k to charity
I don't think he is tw*t 
He has executed this pretty perfectly

Well we had a LB in the middle of a back three, an attacking midfielder LWB, a midfielder at RB, a lad with his second league start at RCB, a lad with a handful of games in centre midfield, coming off a tough schedule of games…think we did pretty well.
Collins had one of those games, getting frustrated with others whilst running about achieving little. 
Sky Sports giving Dale MOTM who did nothing all game against Sibley as a LWB???
Sibley will have his critics but I think a game like tonight will do him some good because he will learn positional play by playing in that position. He did ok tonight all things considered. I think he’s learnt more these last 10 games than he’s done in the previous 90.
Defensively we were excellent, in fairness so were they. We had the better chances but a draw a fair result. Our best chances never fell to the player you would want it to unfortunately. 
Quite funny seeing a side getting frustrated by time wasting at throw ins considering they have a whole routine involving towels for every throw in all game.
