ramsbottom Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Belgium - L Panama - D Tunisia - W Scrape through, and out in the next round as usual. Que a week of recriminations into who's the blame, and how the whole English structure should be rebuilt. Then nothing happening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capable of getting a result against both of those I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynny Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Not a bad draw and in the next round isn't too bad either with either Poland, Senegal, Japan or Columbia up next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 On paper, quarter-finals is very doable. However, it's never that easy but I would be pretty pleased if we get to the quarter finals and play some promising football. The way the draw looks, it's going to be very unlikely to reach the quarter-finals and play a 'lesser' nation so with Brazil or Germany looking likely if we get that far, I can't see us going further than that.

Bris Vegas Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 With the absence of Chile, Italy and Holland it meant Pot 3 didn’t really have any scary teams in it. England have got to be delighted with their draw. They were always likely to have a tough game against a Pot 1 side, but of the mediocre Pot 3 and 4 sides they probably got the worst in each one. Mexico have a nice draw. Germany, Sweden and Korea. It looks tough on paper but they should get through Sweden and Korea easily enough. Can’t be any more difficult than their last group at 2014 - Brazil, Croatia and Cameroon and they got through that with 7 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDCFC75 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Decent draw for England, think other 2 maybe 3 group are tough ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he is without doubt England's best forward right now, but who's to say that will be the case next summer and who's to say he will be 100% fit for the tournament. He probably didn't mean to come across as arrogant here, but he shouldn't be writing stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no doubt they'll both be in the squad if fit, but like you say they shouldn't post things like this before it's even announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackNwhites Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 What a bunch of miserable people in this country. We’ve got a great group, we can certainly beat all 3 teams if we turn up for a tournament. Harry Kane makes a post that seems presumptuous about going to the World Cup, of course he’s going, he’s by far the best striker England have got. Usually we’re a bit cocky about our chances, or the last 2 tournaments we’ve been pretty apathetic. Personally think we’re bit of an unknown as Southgate is still experimenting with the system a little bit. Can’t wait, would have preferred a tougher group tbh because weaker teams like Panama and Tunisia will always sit back and frustrate teams like England.

Day Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 If Messi or Ronaldo tweeted the same would it be frowned upon? Don't see the problem myself, when fit he's a regular starter, we're not talking about a player that is on the fringes or backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
