They are old and past it.next world cup we will have nearly all the current squad plus a few new exciting players .. We did win the under 20s World Cup after all. But oh it was a missed opportunity though AGAIN!!!! Grrrrr.... But they will have next generation of players coming through too like England, France etc. Spain will have Isco, Saul and Asensio leading their next generation, Germany with sane, Goretzka, Werner, kimmich, Brandt. They won’t be blocked by players as the older players would have retired. France have the best generation coming through though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the commentator "this team will return home as national treasures"... Because they beat Panama, Tunisia and Sweden, drew with Colombia and lost to Belgium and Croatia... Okay then ? Same old England. Would have been out 2 rounds ago if we didn't get so lucky with the draw. Created sod all tonight. If you're honest with yourself, you know I'm right. Mr Happy with happy clapper ❎.

You couldn’t wait to see that. I wanted to win just as much as you did. Doesn't mean I'm going to pretend we're a great team and beat amazing opposition to get this far. The first time we've played half decent opposition (except Belgium, who, oh yeah, we lost against!) we lose... Quelle surprise! Hype all you want about beating Tunisia and Panama and Sweden, but deep down you know I'm right... This England team is no different to those before it.

Alph Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Argh it was so daft to try and play on the counter. Everyone back, defend, win the ball, hit Kane, flick on for runner. It's alright for 10 minutes but for 30-45mins you're surrendering midfield to 3 Croatians. Then because Croatian need to take risks the full backs leave Lovren and Vida to defend. Now Alli and Lingard are screwed. They go wide to help on the flanks and Modric and Rakitic are free within dangerous range. They stay in, like they did and Young and Trippier are pinned back with 2 coming at them each. It was worth it for a short time but we ran Lingard and Alli out the game. Ah well, all the best to them. Two superb wingers, 1 excellent full back, a great midfielder and then there's Modric. What a first touch he shows. Sets everything up for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right a bit because the set pieces have covered over the cracks but the football is progressive which is a positive. You might say that England played easy teams but what about our so called ending of our golden generation in 2010 as we struggled against Algeria, USA and slovenia. At least we dominate smaller teams now unlike in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 England can be proud of their efforts. Reaching a semi-final is a great achievement for us considering our ability is closer to Denmark's than it is France/Brazil/Belgium etc. We've got a great group of players. Modest, hardworking players. Maguire has become a favourite of mine. We just came unstuck at the first sight of a decent team. That's not the first time it has happened, and it won't be the last either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Madrid fans are starting to put him in the same breath as Zidane(the best midfielder I’ve ever seen) That just says everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
