Well, he’s not englands most important player, and he’s not really pulling up any trees at the moment tbh.
But sure, a soccer World Cup thread, why not?

Harry scored a nice header, but they have not been tearing up the turf. One of the best games so far has been the Ghana against Panama game. No score till the end, but they were going at it the whole while, and about wore the ref out.

 

[Mick Dempsey!]

Beating Croatia was a really good start.
The draw against Ghana was disappointing but not the end of the world.

Once the knockout stages start the drama begins.

Is it lonely in a pub in France ?

Off to watch the Ecuador vs Germany game...

 

[surveyor]

They should fire the ref. in this game.

 

[Serf Life]

Betting on France. Been impressed with Norway though, good squad and on the same page seems like.

I watch at home, the games kick off too late in Europe to be out and about.
I see the US will likely get Bosnia in the round of 32, a very winnable fixture.
Then who knows? A chance to go deep into the tournament.
France are the favourites, and rightly so.

Last night I was up till past midnight watching Turkey beat the US in the last minute of the game, but still on to the round of 32 as you say.

I can't believe the US lost against Turkey nothing changed in the standings but I thought they would go undefeated in the group stage. Also did you guys see Ecuador I did not expect that at all

Dude, that game was bonkers. Holy smokes

Ecuador had their backs against the wall of elimination, which made it very entertaining to watch.

Often the way (in all sports) Turkey had no jeopardy, they were already out, so they went for it, no fear.

Back in 94, the last time you hosted it, the best thing I heard about the US team was that their greatest strength was they don’t know how shit they actually are.

They are a much better savvy outfit this time, lots of experienced pros who’ve played in the top leagues.
Quarter finals (last 8) has to be the target.

The squad we have RN is incredible. Pochettino really brought out the best in the US

 

[Mick Dempsey!]

He is a top class manager.
When he finishes over there (and especially if the USMST has a good tournament)
He won’t be out of a job for long.

So they just subbed in SAKA and GORDON, got to be the right choice.!

 

[surveyor]

Yep, GORDON volleyed to KANE, and bingo. ! Legitiment, Kane has as many goals in the World Cup as PELE

 

[surveyor]

Again.! GORDON to KANE. GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLL

 

[Mick Dempsey!]

Poor performance overall, but Mexico (in Mexico) awaits.
