The Official FIFA World Cup 2022 Megathread

[Alan]

Booo, normal World Cup service has resumed.

 

[Dire Wolf]

5 goal attempts in total so far. Garbage.

 

[Jack Regan]

Oooooh! Game on?

 

[jd1981]

Pls god don’t let the next shock be us tomorrow

 

[Templeton Peck]

Well Argentina look very meh

 

[Alan]

Huge save from Ex-Wolf Emi.

 

[Jack Regan]

Should have killed the game comfortably in added time, then almost gave up an equaliser.

I don't think they're particular good.

 

[Alan]

I wouldn’t be scared of either Argentina or the Dutch, were I English.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Argentina don't look like World Cup winners.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They remind me of the 1990 side, not the 1986.

 

[Jinky]

The leak in the England camp has not been plugged and Saka is expected to start tonight.

He’s going to drop one of Rashford or Foden isn’t he?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Rotate.

The word is rotate.

Apparently

Well hopefully...


Pickford
Walker Stones Maguire Shaw
Bellingham Rice
Saka Foden Rashford
Kane

Pickford
Walker Stones Maguire Shaw
Bellingham Rice
Saka Foden Rashford
Kane

That’s the dream, but Southgate…

 

[The Bear]

No way is he dropping one of his two DMs. He'll drop Foden again, because he's a bellend.

Be strange to drop Foden. I don't have a problem with the 4-3-3 but we must go with the same team. Foden and Rashford swapping wings and moving beyond Kane should destroy the fragile Senegal back line.

The key is the tempo. Playing at Zero tempo suits them, play at a high tempo at the start of each half for at least 15 minutes will give them too many problems.

Whilst I agree, it’s already come out that Saka is starting. So my guess is Foden will go back to the bench.

 

[Sniffer]

Some reports suggest Rashford to the bench, others say Mount and Saka in for Henderson and Foden.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Play your best players and that means Foden should start. Don’t care where but w wry time he gets the ball he looks to do something positive but if nothing is on he retains possession well.

 

[Derby Wolf]

It'd be brave to not play Kane but not the joint top goalscorer for the whole competition /Southgate

I'm still convinced we'll rescue defeat from the jaws of victory.
