June 25Jun 25 Another dire 0-0 . Fan boys orgasming about going thru to the next round whilst still playing the same tedious shite we did under southgate.
June 25Jun 25 Suspect that Panama will try Ghana's tactics but a further 90+ minutes of that bollocks will be a bridge too far in terms of holding out the likes of Harry Kane.2-0 or better. Job done by a cool, calm and collected manager ticking off boxes as he goes.The usual suspects have already written England off as they have for Brazil, Argentina and Spain. Logic seems to go out of the window at every group stage of World Cups - even more so this year it seems. Must be the end of civilisation summer having an effect.
June 26Jun 26 First game was excellent, although not perfect, with defensive frailties to be addressed.Second game was pants with creative frailties to be addressed.No different to any other major tournament we play in.Two games in and he manager is clueless because he didn't select specific players.We all have ideas about who should have gone, and the manager has to live or die by those decisions, but fucking hell, we're top of the group, in the early stages- give the guy a break ffs.
June 26Jun 26 Reece James and Declan Rice injury concerns. It is only Panama but could do with them back for the knockouts

June 27Jun 27 Get Mainoo playing against teams who just sit deep he's by far our best midfielder at playing in tight spaces, slick one twos, halfturns, making space. He'll find a way through em
June 27Jun 27 Still not much enthusiasm for this. Even a good win is fooling nobody. It will be shite again against a half decent side.2️⃣ - 0️⃣
