Southgate will not want to piss off the EPL managers whose players have been selected to start most of the games. It would not be a surprise to see this line-up. Butland Jones, Dier, Cahill, Alexander-Arnold, Loftus-Cheek, Delph, Rose Rashford, Vardy, Welbeck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is horrendous but that line-up would also highlight the real lack of depth and quality in this England WC squad. Keane's and Souness's brutal assessments were spot-on. All the media hype of of a new era for England is BS. Oxlade-Chamberlain, Pope/Heaton, Shaw, Gomez, Mawson, Tarkowski, Barkley, etc are not top class. Then there are the ageing and injury-prone players that Southgate omitted - Clyne, Bertrand, Smalling, Keane, Drinkwater, Lallana, Walcott and Sturridge. However, we should not delude ourselves that Scotland would pump them. We lack strength in depth too, especially strikers and right-backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 There must be a drinking game to be had today around the use of words and phrases such as "brave", "young lions", "there looked to be a bit of contact there Glenn", "courageous" and "2022" and "love train".

cyderspaceman Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Belgium will actually try to win this game and succeed, while England will have a bit of a sulk and get skelped 3-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 3-0 Belgium, Southgate to get sacked at half time and replaced by Nigel Pearson, rioters loot all M&S stores across the South East to nick waistcoats for their “cut out and keep sponsored by The Sun” Southgate effigies which will be hanging from lampposts by 6pm.

This game carries the same FIFA “importance multiplier” as all other World Cup finals games, which means England will bag 2340 ranking points if they win, instead of “only” 585 if it were an actual friendly. But that’s about the only thing it’s got going for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any drinking game based on use of those phrases will result in alcohol poisoning, and probably death. ETA, assuming Belgium win this, England's World Cup will have consisted of: Scraping an injury time win against Tunisia Seal clubbing the worst team in the tournament Beating a totally unthreatening Sweden side Scraping by a dreadful Colombia side on pens Losing to a Belgium side (twice) that barely gave a shit about either game Losing to Croatia - the first decent side they'd played in a meaningful game Still, young lions, knighthoods etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Using my food based predictor model I am going 2-0 Belgium. Moules Frites are excellent, as is Carbonade flamande, a really tasty stew made with sweet & sour beef and beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerSaint Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 England have the potential to be the only side other than Egypt to finish the tournament with 3 losses. What an achievement for Southgate’s young lions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Ian Wright’s lack of self awareness is laughable. It was people like him that dismissed Croatia FFS!To be air to him, he sounded like the only one of them to give some credence to Modric’s remarks which I thought showed more self-awareness than the rest of them did! It’s quite arrogant in itself to hear the remarks of someone like Modric, and dismiss them out of hand the way the media have in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I wonder who'll be doing the commentary as I take it Little Englander supreme Tyldesley will still be too much of an emotional wreck after his inevitable breakdown on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
