We're better. We will piss it.

A few Argentinians too. Took these photos when I went to the Superclasico a few years back.

I'll ask the relatives of the crew of the HMS Sheffield and get back to you.

Don't trip over the piles of discarded sombrero's and Viking helmets mate.

At least the horns now point downwards on the helmets. Less dangerous.

Suspect that you're good at rubbing.

Nah, we're assorted criminals and vile druggy thugs (obvs) but we're a pretty healthy bunch. Or is being outside in the sunshine a leprosy cure now.

As this approaches, and the tension ramps up, in a way winning it seems more important than the subsequent final.

That would probably change if we did beat them, but recent behaviour on their part requires an effective performance and victory.

Ask the Falkland Islanders what they think - Ask the thousands of British troops that risked (and a lot gave) there lives to keep it named Falkland Islands

This mon is clueless. Leaving TAA, Hall, Foden, Bowen, Palmer, Warton and Gibbs-White out is inept. He also selected three players in Stones, James and Saka while excellent players are simply too injury prone. Take a risk on Saka but to include all three is crazy.

Another barmpot appointment.

Spence has pace but is never a footballer and i am still trying to work out how the most left footed footballer i have ever seen is playing right wing.

Be home before the post

Broken clock and all that.

.. but there is a scenario where there’s a good chance he plays Wednesday. Fresh as well.

Then he will have contributed in 4 games towards us getting to a World Cup Final - more than a justified selection IMO.

All of England's players so far have had different levels of performance.

Main thing is to have enough of them doing well, that ones a bit less influential are covered.

Even those can be having an effect in that their presence creates openings for others to exploit, even if they don't appear to be great on the day.

TT deserves much credit.

I’m at that stage now.

I went into this tournament very open-minded about him.

In all honesty I wasn’t convinced and some might argue that if he doesn’t win Wednesday then we are no further on than under Southgate.

And I’m a fan of Southgate and what he did (close your ears bolty 😊) and he’s responsible for building a great foundation and enabling these players to go deep in major tournaments.

But regardless of what happens Wednesday, I like what I’ve seen of him this tournament. His honesty, his tactics, his man-management, his openness to demand more and better have been really refreshing.

And I hope that can be the difference in taking us to the very least a first World Cup Final since 66.

Tuchel can only be judged after tomorrow night.

He was bought in for tomorrow night.

Yup. Southgate got to a final in the last Euro's scraping past teams we should be beating. It's where Tuchel's at now.

Confident we'll win tomorrow.

wonder what we'll be like if we score an early goal like vs Croatia and Italy, will be a good indicator to see if we have gone forwards under Tuchel or not.

Agree. Early goal then turn the screw. The best form of defence is attack.

100%

In all 4 of his tournament exits he let the game pass him by and failed to be proactive.

Each time we could've turned the screw but we didn't. Even against Spain there was a time after Palmer scored we could've gone for it but we held back.

This is where Tuchel earns his coin.

Tbf he earned it v Mexico. Some big decisions in that game but still and opposition we should be beating. It was more about the occasion.

This is your time, Tommy ya big massive leather BDSM Party sex fiend.
