Maybe that will turn out to be true if we never do.  I don’t agree we were clear favourites to beat Croatia but respect your view.  My point was coming into the tournament my expectations were non existent.  You may have the view we underachieved but given what I hoped for I will respectfully disagree 

 

The bookies had England as clear favourites to beat Croatia tonight. That would probably be skewed by a lot of money going on England. If you’d asked me after they played Argentina I would have said Croatia would be too strong for England as Modric and Rakitic are way better than anyone in England’s midfield but then Croatia were awful in their next two games and the first half tonight. Different team 2nd half and Modric ran the show. Three games in a row they’ve gone 120 minutes or penalties now - I fear the final could be a complete anti climax.

Using a photoshopped image of a 1980s gameshow which you had no hand in creating, , is probably as imaginative as you get.

I’m a bit torn, I want France to win as they are the best team and I think deserve to win but as as England fan if Croatia win they we lost to the eventual winners.  Overall though I think France had the tougher route so I will go for them.  I agree though I hope Croatia can find the legs to make it a good game, I thought it was amazing the energy they had today in extra time,so much respect for them.

And I believe we’ve never lost to Croatia and think we beat France the last competitive game we played them so surely we’re the undisputed unofficial world champions, kinda like ‘67?

Some people are stupid. I get that.

But to have two people, as stupid as this, at the same time, is wonderful.

I think you’re exaggerating - there’s you but there’s not anyone else in the same ballpark as you tonight in the stupidity stakes. Take a bow sir, you’ve excelled yourself.

You ain't right in the head buddy. We have now had a couple of conversations and the only thing I'm sure of is that you have Velcro on your shoes instead of laces.

Tunisia were no mugs.

Colombia were no mugs either. 

 

 

Tunisia were shocking certainly defensively. Very much worse than their ranking says

 

Colombia if they played football possibly would of beaten England but with James out they kicked England about , England started kicking Colombia back and it was one of the worst games of the tournament but should of been a 50/50 game

 

Sweden were toothless and offered nothing in any game except against Mexico

 

England beat who was in front of them but it wasn’t much. As someone said Englands best result was losing to Belgium and they had an easier ride of it with mixed results.

 

Final four performances (rankings as at 18th May) (results based on 120 minutes) 

 

France ranked 7 (W5 D1 L0) beat:

Australia - 36

Peru - 11

Argentina - 5 

Uruguay - 14

Belgium - 3

 

Drew with

Denmark - 11

 

Belgium ranked 3 (W5 D0 L1) beat:

Panama - 55

Tunisia - 21

England - 13

Japan - 61

Brazil - 2

 

Lost to:

France - 7

 

Croatia ranked 20 (W4 D2 L0) beat:

Argentina - 5

Iceland - 22

Nigeria - 47

England - 13

 

Drew with

Denmark - 11

Russia - 66

 

England ranked 13 (W3 D1 L2) beat:

Tunisia - 21

Panama - 55

Sweden - 23

 

Drew with

Colombia - 16

 

Lost to

Belgium - 3

Croatia - 20

 

England lacked quality going forward and Kane was anonymous after the Tunisia and Panama games which shows where they need to improve. They got pride back in English football but didn’t exactly overachieve. They were able to be competitive with Southgates game plan A but lacked a game plan B.

This has been a good, exciting world cup primarily because of VAR.

 

General standard has been poor, because the real big nations apart from France have been crap.

 

England have built a set piece base.

 

It's how they push on from here and can they progress into footballing side.

 

Set piece athletes can only get you so far.

Such a good read the last few pages. Drunkard having a breakdown whilst posting what he believes to be high brow wit that only his intellectual equals could appreciate when the reality is he's posting incomprehensible nonsense and being ripped all round.

 

10/10 kickback.

No pain, most of us didn't expect much before the tournament, and we realised that we'd had an easy run thus far.

 

I find it a bit sad that so many on other threads are getting upset by the media, and using that as a barometer for the English in general. After all, even though I occasionally get to see the Daily Record, I still know that not all Scots are slavering erses :)

I watched the last two games in the pub, lived in Scotland for the best part of 40 years and genuinely have no issue with folk supporting the opposition we play, it’s a football rivalry after all, it’s what it’s all about.  However what was hard to take was the guys celebrating Croatia goals more crazily then I have ever celebrated an England goal.  Going absolutely bananas.  Can’t get my head round that.

Im not a fan of Ireland or England. And a lot of Welsh people annoy me. 

 

 

On that note, everything you say about international football should be classified as utter Mince. 

 

Scotland is a shite place? 

 

Feel free to 

:bolt:

 

And

:getout:

 

 

 

Maybe move to Hull or Barnsley, you'll fit right in hating Scotland, Wales and whoever else ya want to hate ya chicken nugget. 

 

The only reason Scotland would be shite  is if it was filled with folk with your attitude.

I don’t get upset by the media really I get upset with Scots pretendy support for a national team that’s better than ours, as if it means something to them too, it really winds me up. But i agree it’s difficult to listen to the media sometimes. I mean Glenn Hoddle even said Trippier sent in the cross of the tournament when he took a ball on the volley and crossed it last night :facepalm: 

England didn’t score from it and at the end of the day the guy is a professional footballer being paid millions of pounds. Gary Neville telling us how much better England are than Croatia, Lee Dixon saying how poor Croatia are then bang. Roy Keane was brilliant last night ripping Ian Wright in particular and there’s not been enough of that back down to earth with a bump mentality it’s just been it’s coming home it’s coming home and grown men losing their shit over what is, once again, a pretty ordinary England side.

Fair point tbh. 

Some take it too far.
