No Irish, No Yanks, No Clogs - FIFA World Cup 2018

If lukaku was 5'8" and 11 stone he'd be a very average player

this is wrong. And kind of offensive

ok it wasn't meant entirely seriously but how are you offended

How come Grant Holt couldn't play like Lukaku?

because it's a facile reduction of a black player to their physical gifts

No it isnt

explain yourself then

it was a flippant response to a particular incident of miscontrol witnessed during the highlights last night. I think he's a very good player but not a great one. A pointless post on a Friday evening tbh but can it with the accusations will you

tbf if Sterling was 5'8 and 11 stone he'd still be a very average player

well i'm off to the pub to enjoy a couple of hours moaning about how desperately England need a playmaker

I'm not ascribing any malice. I just think it was an ignorant comment

i've got a feeling this game is gonna be more painful than watching an incel trying to unhook a bra

A quick scan of my handful of comments on this thread suggests an ignorant football-hating challopian. I think i need to switch my meds.

It's that or the weather

or England

now it is safe to talk about football once again let us all enjoy the creativity and passing of the fine footballing friends - yes - england and sweden

thanks Fernando!

I'd like to disagree with you in the strongest possible, but still respectful, terms for dropping Ini for the Russia game btw.

my cousin's anglo-swedish family are split 50/50, a formative football memory on the cards

hierro I will never forgive you for koke and asensio. thanks

the many testimonials to the great qualities Southgate possesses as a manager by the usual suspects on 5 live are so very moving, but if he ever ends up in the prem again he will be exposed as shit lightweight.. again.

according to my sons Maguire is "dead"

Come back from a week of yoga and happiness to ENG flags DON'T WANT

Xxp being worlds best international coach is like being worlds tallest dwarf

That said, always thought a man as mostrously egotistical as mourinho would want to manage portugal (or someone else) in at least one world cup.

I noticed that particular incident of miscontrol as well but lukaku is crazy talented, size notwithstanding. If anything, that incident suggests he's a great player in spite of his size.

Lukaku is pretty complete as a player. Faster than Kane, not quite as good a finisher but in that bracket

whatever people say about what ManU re: the transfer fee paid, he's pretty fucking impressive at times!

i'm rooting for England because I like their metal bands better

prediction - zero run of play goals, game decided 1-0 when Kane brought down in box

Sweeng is a bit dull so far

i'm rooting for England because I like their metal bands better

Apologies to Sweden for comparing them to Russia

awwww man

Sterling good rn

Have any Robin’s Reign joeks been made on thread yet? If not, can I reserve the right? Oh wait

England starting to create some chances

this is brutal

This is puke football

it's about what I expected w/ this matchup

almost makes me miss Spain

Ashley Young ruining some nice chances to cross

uh oh SET PIECE u guyz

hahahahaha

well hopefully this opens the game up

TWO WORLD WARS AND TWO WORLD CUPS
