Toepoke Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Another World Cup thread in non TA football Anyway might as well get the ball rolling. This England squad is either inspired or insane. Time will tell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Obviously time will tell but imo it cannot be stated enough how shite England's group is with the exception of Belgium Panama and Tunisia are at best poor and at worst rank rotten Thar be money to be made in England's first two games betting Kane and Vardy along with England winning to Nil by as many as you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Beem Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Being completely honest here but that England squad looks very poor 👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Be interesting how this goes? International football tends to be a bit tighter, but if recent Champions league games are any indicator, could be some pumpings and high scoring games.

Thought it was cringeworthy on Talkshite the other day as it was pretty much common knowledge that Joe Hart was not in the squad and Alan Brazil had every man and his dug coming on his showing saying Hart had to go, tournament experience vital, great player in dressing room, etc. Joe Hart has been pish for years and only Southgate seems to have noticed this.

ParisInAKilt Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Other than really Welbeck I think Southgate has made the right call. They have a decent team potentially but I suspect it will be the same old story, no creativity at that level to keep the ball and get beyond round 2.

Parklife Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Really looking forward to the tournament. Been backing Brazil to win it for about 12 months now, so got a fair whack on them. Neymar injury a negative but he should hopefully be back, rested and raring to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairbairn Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I like the look of France this time round. Brazil do look good but then I tend to think they're going to win it going in to every tournament and look how that turned out last time round! Like you Parkie I tend to start having bets on them a good few months out but after their spectacular collapse 4 years ago I haven't bothered this time round. Enjoy spending your winnings!

PASTA Mick Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 England would fancy their chances against all the teams in Group H in the last 16 too. Brazil or Germany are the likely QF teams they'd come up against. I still fancy France and Belgium but I'd like Argentina to win it with Messi.

As maybe then UEFA will start to give countries that are deserving of a WC the Tournament instead of giving it to whoever gives them the biggest backhanders. Same goes for Qatar in 4 years time.

McTeeko Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Same old political guff comes out in the lead up to EVERY World Cup - from my first proper WC in ‘86 where the earthquake had hit Mexico just months before and the government doing up stadiums before collapsed houses to the last one Brazil where it was the favelas getting overlooked and money poured into tourists arriving for the WC and Olympics. I just cannae believe we’ve no heard the usual other guff...... - the ball is too light. - the stadiums will no be ready. - the refs will be too strict. - the hooligans will be out in force. - the touts will control the tickets. Cannae wait for it!! 🇷🇺⚽️✊🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
