World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 5 (18 June)

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Bringing on Rashford or Vardy isn't going to change the game. If hike off lingard and bring on loftus. There really aren't many options.

 

[Hazelton]

This team needs a passer. Henderson not up to the task.

Why did football in terms of aesthetic, lighting, staging, camerawork, contrast and colour look cooler when I was younger?

It looks sterile and washed out now. Even in 4K HDR.

Cataracts

 

[nailsy]

Young over Rose?

Danny Rose is the best left back in the league.

Is Southgate an idiot?

Rose isn't fully fit.

I watched a re-run of the 82 Brzil Italy game the other day. Those were the days.

As a youngster I used to love the world cup as you saw players you'd never seen before. Now all the South Americans are Europeanised and it is fucking dull.

 

[VanZan]

Hate to say it but Kane's done fuck all besides the tap in.

If only we had one!

That’s why

 

[lukadownthelane]

He’s linked the play well and played some good balls. Not his fault no one has created anything for him

 

[Johnny J]

He might have done more if he wasn't being wrestled to the ground every set piece.

 

[Amo]

Just got to my hotel in Croatia in time for the second half.

Turns out my host is Niko Kranjčar’s brother in law.

Glorious scenes.

I remember when he signed for us and the commentator said "he signed one day before Man City was sold to the Emiratis."

The co-commentator said "Yeah he'll be pleased with his agent" in the most gloriously sarcastic monotone I've ever heard.

So yeah that happened too.

Can’t do anything without service

 

[Hakkz]

Shame Winks has been injured.

 

[LSUY]

Young over Rose?

Danny Rose is the best left back in the league.

Is Southgate an idiot?

2017-18 season
Young: 30 matches, 2 goals, 4 assists
Rose: 10 matches, 0 goals, 1 assist

Young is playing because he's had the better season and hasn't had injury problems. There's no point in risking Rose when we have tougher games ahead.

 

[am_yisrael_chai]

Sterling is properly rubbish, so lucky he plays at club level alongside KdB and Silva.

 

[nedley]

I don't care what anybody says, how much pundit say if England are going to do well he has to do well.

Sterling is GASH.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Need a plane to fly by the stadium and dump some insecticide

They have been using helicopters and spraying all the locality for the last few days

 

[DFF]

We have too many blind alley runners in this team.

 

[Amo]

Put your TV on Dynamic mode.

Heresy. My TV is professionally calibrated.

 

[spurs mental]

That was a lovely pass by Trippier. Good defending to read it.

England camped now, you can't see them not scoring again
