World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 24 (7 July)

I think it makes sense to stick with the squad at this stage

We should definitely have kept the same squad.

 

[VegasII]

Anybody else what to leave Dan Walker on an abandoned island?

Klinsmann: "I love Harry Kane, but not just because I'm a Spurs man."

"After the Colombia game I was jumping up and down - there were five Spurs players involved."

Legend.

Been listening to the 5Live podcast the last few days and it's excellent. Funny and good guests with plenty of insight to offer.

The one with Butcher and Waddle reminiscing about Italia 90 was brilliant.

Excitement building ... Even though I'm not Full English any more.

Only lived in Blighty for 58 years out of 62.

It's a Spurs thing for me - My son and grandson are Limeys.

Young starting is annoying because Southgate will need to waste a sub for a proper LB when we invariably need a goal, either to win or equalise. I hope I'm wrong.

Think this is exactly what will happen also.

I'm surprisingly calm. Was much more nervous about the Colombia match.

I just get nervous now the longer we stay in it!

 

[JerryGarcia]

I'm not a fan of Young but I can see why he is being picked. He's been part of a solid Utd defence for a few seasons now and Rose hasn't played regular football for ages.

Just have to support them all at this stage anyway, even Henderson

 

[tiger666]

Marcus Berg to have a worldie ..

 

[SpursD22]

I’m sorry lads but it’s coming (Stock) Holm ??????

 

[SdB]

Time for Ali, Lingard, Sterling and Kane to show up in open play

 

[tiger666]

Yep, we haven't created enough from open play at all.

 

[Partizan]

England are getting sucker punched today. 1-0 to Sweden

Have you got one right yet?

 

[Cravenspurs]

Fuck harry was intense on those handshakes

 

[gushayes11]

3-0.

 

[tiger666]

COME ON!!!

Me too. Colombia felt a lot more make or break. Lose that and it would've felt like a massive disaster, whereas losing this isn't quite as bad for me despite Sweden normally being less good than Colombia.

Can't really put my finger on why but that's just how I feel about it.
