World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 5 (18 June)

Strange how Belgium have so many talented players yet no coaches. Makes you wonder who was bringing on these players.

The Dutch schools seem to have played a huge part. Which is funny when they can't produce players for themselves these days.

So far I haven't seen anything to suggest England won't win this group.

Might want to wait until we see England play before making that claim lol.

Could they? International football management is really not that great of a draw.

Perhaps. I'd have thought it would be a great opportunity for someone though.

Tunisia 19/2 to win?

Stranger things...

LVG was free wasn't he?

Yeah I was just saying this to my mate, best managers are at clubs because that's where the money is, don't think there would have been too many managers to choose from.

Put a fiver on the draw. The way things have gone so far this WC I could see that as a feasible result. Don't even want to think about a defeat.

England's going to face the same problem as the big teams have so far, with their opponent defending deep and trying to frustrate them and slowing the game down. Hopefully they play similarly to Liverpool/ourselves, starting the game with a lot of energy and trying to get an early goal.

I think England will struggle against Panama and Tunisia as well. We don't have enough intelligence and craft.

The only way we'll do well is if we press like demons and win the ball back close to the goal, but that's going to be very difficult in the heat.

Tunisia are a hard side to break down. It won't be easy and a draw isn't unlikely.

I don't bet that often, but they are crazy odds.

I can't see anything but a resounding England win however.

Actually really looking forward to watching the Spurs lads tonight.

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Nice goal.

 

[gilzeantheking]

Nice strike from Mertens

 

[werty]

Damn.

 

[Deleted member 27995]

They can coast now ...

 

[tiger666]

Boooo

 

[danielneeds]

Mertens with a banger.

 

[spurs mental]

Can't believe Martinez continues to play Jan at left back. So odd.

Same, paddypower money back as a free bet if England win aswell so it’s a win-win

Fucksticks.
