Taking this to its natural conclusion, they should stop marketing it as the 'beautiful game' then. A new label of the 'nondescript, gender neutral, inoffensive' game should have young uns flocking to it.

Just been listening to some moose with purple, blue and other assorted shades hair on Sky UK News giving this the big thumbs up. "Objectifying women is so outdated". She should tell that to some of those stunners from Rio and Sao Paulo who turn up at the games looking like they are ready to shimmy their lovely curves at Carneval. They don't do it to be looked at and admired, do they? Just dressing appropriately for the climate 

Hopefully the world wakes up before these silly (twisted and bitter) cunts have us living in a real version of The Handmaids Tale.

I knew very little of, pickford, maguire and trippier, but i now think those 3 are the most likely to get big moves off the back of the world cup

Anyone else that could squeak a big move?

Obviously Kane could be off to Madrid of spanish reports are to be believed

Looks like a great environment as been achieved on and off the pitch and the team is playing good football matching the managers ideology.

One result could change the mood, but given where we were at full time vs Iceland to right now, I think it's been a great change.

Imagine Allardyce still in charge and an aging non retired Rooney playing in midfield, stagnate football vs adventurous

Not saying things would have been bad results wise under Sam, we did win his only game and won well despite Lallana only scoring in the 90th minute vs Slovakia, but I doubt we'd be in a better place than we are currently. 

Looking ahead, these players with more experience can only get better, the youth teams are doing very well and with the likes of Sessegnon, Sancho etc coming through, I think we'll be in a wonderful place come Euro 2020, WC2022.

Not many were convinced or wanted GS, but I think he's won over many.

Better to be bested by the eventual victors...

I like the country and have friends there.

France cannot have two stars to our one.

Spain France Final 20/1

Uruguay EW 33/1

Had a few silly accas to. Will post them also when I can find em

Which is all a bit fucking weird

Will be an odd season that

I'm putting it on here so he can see for himself

France pretty much full strength losing to America tonight

Who WOULD be making the trip and how easy will it be to pick up tickets?

Scraping past Cameroon.

Betting your life on Stuart Pearce as he stepped up for his penalty.

Sulking for days on end afterwards.

Crazy to think most born after 1980 probably have no recollection of this.

Hoping we can rewrite history this week and go one step further.... if not all the way.

He got this journey underway with a winning start to qualifying after the disaster in france.

France v Belgium

England v Croatia

But given the nature of this fantastic World cup, i wouldn't be at all surprised if it ended up the complete opposite -

Uraguay v Brazil

Sweden v Russia

Anyone could win this World Cup this time......hope it's us FFS, it would be brilliant for our Country.

Just stuck it on, 20 minutes in and I'm hooked

Love all the old footage of the hooligans, training footage and music

Imagine plenty have already seen it

If you haven't, it's worth a watch

Currently, my enthusiasm levels are about 1 on a scale of 1 - 10.

England will do the usual, QF at best.  Just hoping we 'have a go' and keep faith in the relative youth so hopefully rewarded in the next one (or Euros)

Germany or Spain.  Nailed on.
