I mean I pity him for having to take over a load of flakes like England and Russia but the sort of characters who work at club level don't always work at international level.

tournament management maybe, but he qualifies like a MF

Would cost Russia $25m to sack him so they might have to stick with him for the foreseeable.

Owen on 2002 -That is how they beat England. It wasn’t much of a game and we certainly did not play to our potential, but it was Rivaldo’s brilliance turning the tie Brazil’s way before Ronaldinho’s fluke winner.

Love the way England players never deviate from this assertion that the goal was lucky.

imagine living in a world where despite having the talent to beat every team at the highest level you seem to be undone by flukes over and over and over again

England = Sisyphus

“Embarrassing to see dinosaur Hodgson questioning the fitness regime of the forward-thinking manager Brendan Rodgers. Roy Hodgson’s incompetence must be frustrating for educated managers like Brendan Rodgers who travelled the world.”

i'd say you didn't see any of it then, because delph was fucking rank and couldn't pass the ball, england looked a damn sight better when he came off. his replacement scored the goal even

rly what was the point of any of this, lol at the media even halfheartedly calling it an experimental side

assessing jack cork should have been the first thing on hodgson's friendly agenda imo

Is this better, or have a few better coaches at clubs just under top-class with a mandate to string a few English lads into a coherent system made this look better, is there a difference?

Zero ability up front but tell you what moving it from the back these guys look alright

May o God help us (darraghmac), Sunday, 11 June 2017 10:35 (six years ago) link

This is a cracking game.

venezuela just brought on the injured sateldo and he is so far beyond everything else on the pitch it's actually amusing

VIDEO REPLAY PENALTY DRAMA

truly this is the greatest evolution of the game

May o God help us (darraghmac), Sunday, 11 June 2017 11:29 (six years ago) link

Commentators anointing the team with ninety seconds to go cunts will not be learnt

Onomah looks imperious set against his peers

Calvert-Lewin total shite

May o God help us (darraghmac), Sunday, 11 June 2017 11:46 (six years ago) link

Tomori really does look an absolute walking disaster, almost scored his second and third og of the tournament today and just did his best to break his own keepers leg in the last minute of a wc final

May o God help us (darraghmac), Sunday, 11 June 2017 11:50 (six years ago) link

what's this? John Terry has made his way onto the pitch wearing full kit

There's got to be a Corbyn after (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 11 June 2017 11:54 (six years ago) link

A goal of excellence

May o God help us (darraghmac), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 19:17 (six years ago) link

These centre halves trying to play it out of the back is a disaster tho

May o God help us (darraghmac), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 19:33 (six years ago) link

nice finishing dudes lol

quelle honte

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 19:48 (six years ago) link

John Stones is a third rate defender the other two are one order better

Dele Alli looks a worryingly one note one paced one trick player when spurs aren't buzzing around him

Raheem Sterling is appallingly one footed.

Otherwise not bad.

May o God help us (darraghmac), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 19:52 (six years ago) link

this game sucks

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 20:17 (six years ago) link

Dearie me.

Punnet of the Grapes (Tom D.), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 20:42 (six years ago) link

Both of England's goalies are motm is the thing, the centre halves are absolutely stinking

May o God help us (darraghmac), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 20:43 (six years ago) link

Was that Cahill literally decided to start praying rather than defend there

May o God help us (darraghmac), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 20:44 (six years ago) link

The lack of creativity in englands creative players is nothing new but I mean sterling genuinely could not beat a tailors dummy

May o God help us (darraghmac), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 20:49 (six years ago) link

This is great
