World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 11 (24 June)

Maguire is a weak link. Young just shouldn't be playing.

 

[Thewobbler]

Lol, really?

That was a bit of charity for them. Make it look like they belong here

 

[LeSoupeKitchen]

Poor Vardy

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Henderson takes the armband - and Panama score their first ever World Cup goal. Coincidence?

 

[spurs mental]

No leadership since Kane went off

Ok.

If both England and Belgium have a GD of 8-2, as is the case now, who is technically top?

 

[markiespurs]

Sterling still flattering to deceive

England has 2 yellow cards and Belgium has 3. So it's England.

it would probably run to Fair Play points - and I don't know where either stand in that regard.

ETA - or what @cwy21 said...

*Cue someone getting a yellow

I hope you’re being ironic. The four defenders in that line all stopped. That’s not charity that’s dumbfuckery

Ok, so Delph has actually made us worse... Vardy doesn't work in this system. Needs to play off the shoulder and get onto the end of through balls.

Also we need to just play the way we did in the first half. We don't have the personnel for the possession game... Henderson and Delph surrendering possession cheaply.

Interesting. My commentator in Norway was saying we were "back down in second" and I thought how had he worked that out? He's probably just looked at the alphabet.

I'm pretty sure it's the team higher on fair play. If we drew with Belgium let's say.

Without Lingard no one drops back to receive the ball from the defenders/ Henderson.

Is this the new 'if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it'?

Pickford caught sleeping after 2 howlers all within the last 20 minutes. Cant be doing that against better teams.

What two “howlers”?

They're all in sync, i like that.

It sets up an interesting scenario where a draw means every yellow card counts. Then you throw in the situation where both teams might be happier finishing 2nd.
