RoyMac5 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 3 minutes ago, Animal is a Ram said: Meanwhile, Lingard scoring scorchers, Kane scoring goals off his arse, and Stones scoring (or assisting with) bullet headers. We're open because we're being aggressive against these 'weaker' defensive teams. Have to disagree with Maguire, he saw plenty of the ball vs. Tunisia, and looked comfortable - that said, that's what Stones and Henderson are for. Agree with Walker though, but that's what happens when you put a natural RB in at CB. He's said it himself that he's not comfortable there. Yes, but Lingard missed a hatful of sitters too. Stones has been good. Still whilst we have done what we've needed I'm not getting carried away, I'm not convinced by the way we're set up - even Panama could have scored three against us second half. So Belgium will be an interesting game in lots of ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Belgium will be an interesting game in lots of ways. Don't get me wrong, I don't think we'll win the lot, I'm just enjoying the ride. Panama could have scored three because they stopped kicking us, and started kicking the ball, while we'd dropped right off with being 6 up. As you say, Belgium will be the proper acid test. They've been one of the few teams to properly impress me in this tournament, other than Colombia trouncing Poland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViewsFromTheMiddle Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Saudi Arabia got another penalty and score this time. Incredibly long VAR check just for the ref to stick with the decision and also book the Egyptian defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think Mexico would cope with England's threat at set-pieces. England would have such a height advantage. I'd probably root for Mexico if the two face eachother. I consider myself half Mex now, and I do enjoy their mentality at the World Cup, especially when they play against teams who consider themselves superior. Besides, I love an underdog and England would no doubt start the game as favourites. Not sure Mexico will qualify, other than 30 minutes against Germany they have looked average at best. Against South Korea, they struggled to get anything going, looking laboured against a poor side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You going to bet on Sweden and Germany each to win 1-0 as that's the scenario which would send Mexico out. All 3 teams would have 6 points and Mexico would lose out on head to head record.

Not that it makes a difference if I bet on it, with my track record, guaranteed I’d lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is it the case that with the above results gd might be exactly the same? Anyway onto more important matters........is that a hint of ginge in Ronaldos silly little goatee ?

Bris Vegas Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 If Portugal top the group, they will play Russia in the second round and then the winner of Group D (Croatia) or runner up of group C (likely Denmark). They can go far again with the luck of the draw, avoiding all the best teams again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
