World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 28 (11 July)

[LSUY]

The team did us all proud. Hopefully, they grow from this. Roll on Euro 2020.

 

[SpursD22]

And why was Young starting instead of Rose in the whole tournament?

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

I hope Trippier is ok.

 

[ilikeost]

Some really disappointing performances from England players today. Young and Henderson are both such waste of space and honestly, Kane had zero impact on this game. I don't know why he is constantly so deep. Yeah, I know he is good on the ball but come on, that is not why he is on the pitch.

 

[nferno]

Referee absolute fucking joke, Ashley young is not a fucking leftback, Croatia can fuck off with their time wasting antics.

Yeah we got to the semi-finals when no one rated us coming into the tournament but this was a horrible unjust exit.

Hope France massacres these ****s.

 

[jurgen]

Great try, should’ve put our chances away. Need a new tactic and a little tweak to the squad to try and get something extra in the middle. We were using Kane too much like Giroud but he’s multiple levels above.

Tbf this England team is looking a bit like a mirror to Spurs at this moment in time.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

only saving grace from this is if Hugo lifts the trophy

 

[Deleted member 29446]

As a neutral maybe we can actually get our transfer window started now!

 

[CantSmileWithoutYou]

I hate semi finals. All semi finals.

 

[kaz Hirai]

Good to get to a semi considering how they've performed in past tournaments but Don't no if I'd say " England are back as contenders "

They've beaten alot of muchness teams.

England need to produce proper midfielders.
We have one for them...maybe two if onomah fulfills his promise but we can't do it by ourselves ?

 

[lukadownthelane]

Can’t be unhappy with how the tournament went but we should have won that game in the first half. Feels so familiar and I’m so fed up with not winning these big games.

Tonight reinforces why spurs need to buy some winners

 

[LSUY]

And why was Young starting instead of Rose in the whole tournament?

Rose has played about 5 competitive matches since January so I'm guessing his fitness wasn't such that he could play regularly with only a couple of days rest in between

 

[Japhet]

Tony Adams must be relieved. Wanker.

 

[nailsy]

You can see why the squad like Southgate. Going round to every player and member of staff.

 

[YiddoTom90]

Probably kane's worst match in the world cup.

 

[wirE]

A good run. Rooting for France and Lloris to win this

 

[spursfan1991]

Croatia in a world cup final, weird.

Think if England had even a below average midfield they'd have won .

yeah thats right, we had no midfield. it was a 514 formation. its not a coincident that the best 2 midfields are in final.

i dont think we will get another chance for another 20 plus years.

 

[tiger666]

If we have a midfield next tournament, we may have Kane actually playing as a striker.

 

[fortworthspur]

honestly, I thought Sterling should'nt have started. Its been 3 years since he's scored - what does it take to get him dropped? He doesnt pass unless his back is to goal and wastes so many chances.

 

[TheChosenOne]

I hope France fuck them up.

I'm sure they will.

England fans still singing. Hope it all goes ok in the UK High Streets
