Well done lads!

Bit harsh that mutty. I personally thought they battered tunisia, but just couldn’t take their chances.[/quote]

Spot on Runcorn we completely dominated Tunisia and could have had six against them as well. Its ok for the others to struggle to beat the dross they will just get brilliant instantly but not England. But if we do progress deep in the tournament watch the back trakking from some on here.

I’d just like to point out that I have been impressed with how England have played – when a lot of people were criticising the Tunisia game I said we’d played really well 1st half, got done by a silly error from Walker & then had to face a Tunisian side who packed everybody back & sat on the 1-1 that they had. When a team does that it’s hard to break them down no matter who you are as Belgium found out against Panama in their 1st half.
Against Panama we never looked in any danger & took our chances – thoroughly professional performance bar one switch off late on

My comments were more tempered with a realism as to how far the team can go. I think quarters at least but we can’t escape from the fact that out of the first 2 games England created the 2nd fewest chances from open play – against sides who can defend set pieces well & without fouling we’ll need to create more chances that aren’t fashioned from set pieces

I also agree that by the same token i haven’t seen a side that England should be overly worried by – Germany have looked poor, Brazil have looked poor, Argentina have looked poor, France looked okay but nothing mind blowing, Russia struggled against the first decent side they played. Ditto Spain & Portugal. Uruguay, Colombia & a few others have blown hot & cold. Croatia have looked the best so far for me

Correct me if I am wrong but could the winners of Group G meet either Brazil or Mexico in the quarter finals whereas the runners up in Group G could be on for a meeting against Sweden or Switzerland? Anyone think there could be some own goals tonight!
If I have worked it out wrong then forget it! ha ha

All beatable.
I have a friend out in St Petersburg who has a ticket for the next game.
He thought it would be Germany v Brazil.
It’s Sweden v Switzerland. :D[/quote]

Did he think Brazil would come 2nd in their group? how very naive !

If ifs and ands were pots and pans, there’d be no work for tinkers’ hands ! ;)

Gave some fringers a bit of game time, keep the pack happy. No damage done, so keep off the negatives if you can boys and girls.

Shower of shite that shows England have no strength in depth. I’d expect nothing but self deluding optimism from this forums resident tank top and slipper combo wearing cretin LOL
