Gritstone Ram Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 1 minute ago, HantsRam said: Kind of surprising that some of them like cahill aren't trying to get into Southgate thoughts more. You'd imagine it could be the last tournament for cahill Delph vardy so why not go for it a bit more? I suppose we don't know what instructions they have been given.

Alph Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Not a prayer Delph or Dier will have budged Lingard or Henderson. Belgium own the middle of the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it would be 'go out and enjoy yourselves' - because this match is as irrelevant as they come and absolutely nothing matters. Taking the personnel on the pitch (both teams), I doubt that there would be more than 4 starters in the round of 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look to have been given Rowett-type instructions. 5 at the back and hit them on the break or from set pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Tunisia v Panama on itv 4... who's up for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspode Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Where does Dier think he's supposed to be playing? His positional play has been all over the place in the first half - not protecting the defence and not giving them the chance to pass it out - very poor.....

Brammie Steve Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Belgium are putting together some lovely football moves but I would expect more if either of these want to get past Colombia. Don't think either side REALLY wants to lose or draw. Kane etc. will be on soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarRam Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Should be used to this after last season but.... Current World Cup structure is a bit of a nonsense with groups and it will get worse when more teams are involved. I can understand that teams don't want to go to the WC for one game but what about a 2 legged first round game and forget the group stages. Least every game would matter.

Wolfie20 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 That was almost as bad as Denmark v France. Utter dross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the next WC is 48 teams with 16 groups of 3 and only the top team going forward, then surely that would be an improvement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 2 go through. Two draws and you are into the next round. No point risking a defeat as you would probably go out. LOts of lovely 0-0's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't see the point of Vardy unless we're going to play like Leicester, and even if we were, Belgium are hardly busting a gut to pin us back!

Yes. I would also advocate an unseeded draw for the knockout stages - but television would never go for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
