The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

[Jinky]

Pickford nearly throwing it in his own net but Gary Cahill decides that would be way too obvious and makes the clearance.

We really don't want to come second now with Colombia waiting. Surely that can be put to bed now.

 

[Kenny]

We

Its ok Wales didn't qualify...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Oh noes - caught out. First slip of the tournament so I am quite pleased to have made it this far!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

First yellow for Belgium...

Either of these teams should be backing themselves to beat Colombia - and then its Sweden or Switzerland instead of Brazil... so I don’t think that argument is going away!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

England are usually shit against Sweden, and usually draw against Switzerland. The argument will be over and done at the end of this tonight anyway.

 

[Stan Hullis]

I really like RLC, such a classy player.

Another deliberate yellow.

 

[Tony Towner]

We aren't losing tonight. That's an absolute guarantee

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

We should play the strongest side and go out to win, anything else is just bullocks!

 

[Carrotdude]

As sad as it is to say - we can’t cope with Fellaini

 

[jlo]

Not that ITV care, but Panama are winning

 

[Tony Towner]

The odds of all teams scoring 2 or more goals at the start of the tournament was 100/1. A Panama goal tonight and that happens.

...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It's blindingly obvious that Belgium don't want to win. Oblige them with a loss then.

 

[AndyWolves]

I don't think we look very good, ball over the top seems our only option.

Vardy & Rashford doesn't work

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Bit meh that first half. Some very nice passing from England, TAA is really good and Rose is doing well.

Belgium have had better chances, Fellaini looks dangerous from set pieces and Pickford has made some good saves but England are defending ok.

Dunphy is saying England are poor but I disagree, it seems like their biding their time, looking for a clear cut chance before turning up the intensity.

 

[playtheace]

Watching Rose after 2 games of Young is like night and day.
Love watching AA, going to be some player,such energy.

 

[Lycan]

Think our defensive structure is really good, just missing Sterling/Dele/Lingard's movement inbetween the lines.

What good saves? A shot he should have caught or put over the bar and one that squirmed out of his grasp, although it was possibly a free kick.
