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

Strong possibility this group could be decided by goal difference so I can see Belgium being relentless.

Won't need GD with 9 points

Axel Laurent Angel Lambert Witsel is, I think, an abysmal real name

haha

this could be an absolute thrashing if belgium remember how to finish

OK LOL Belgium are actually playing Boyata, he'd struggle to get in the Scotland team.

Love to see some of these folks learning about the magic that is Blas Perez.

Get Dembele on for the second half.

Martinez is trolling us.

Gonna Wigan this

Martinez looks at Boyata and sees Gary Caldwell.

The population of Belgium is only 11m, idk if Panama having 4m is a stat that bears constant repetition.

Fuckin Lawrenson again

Should be euthanized

“They scored 43 goals in qualifying - against better opposition than Panama”

They scored eight in one game against Estonia and fifteen across two legs vs Gibraltar ffs.

No easy games in world football.

tbf Gibraltar have been unlucky to have missed out on playing in the World Cup finals.

a varnacle on the world cup

Travelling home so my knowledge is gonna be patchy for the evening, but lol Belgium

Bosh

Nice

Cue rout

loved that

Overdue but great to see.

Dries is the word lol

panamaniacs seem overawed by the stage, john

Jesus, they’re making heavy weather of this.

p nice

dat assist

KDB had been having an absolute stinker until then

yeah he's not having his day

such an absurd pass. how did he even see that angle, let alone thread the needle?

the belgians have broken them

Could see this going 5-0

rom v ron for the golden boot?

Just thinking that. Think Rom, Belgium shd outperform Portugal

Not the worst underdog performance from Panama, at least they gave themselves some chances

that was an interesting and probably quite nice gesture from Lukaku + the Panama guy at the end

lads, it's almost time...

HOWAY LADS #YNWA

Mertens goal was a real beaut though.

England XI is all pace and width and not much centre. I suppose it's time to find out whether playing Walker in a three is inspired or idiocy, although the lack of Dier suggests Southgate doesn't think much of Tunisia. This feels like the fastest England squad in a very long time though.

England warmup kit is pretty great.

grinning uncontrollably at these sombre Big Sam skits

Kind of want Sterling to become a hattrick hero just to spite the sewer press. Kind of also want England fail miserably as per usual.

There is also the possibility that Phil McNulty will be eaten alive by insects tonight, just like it was predicted in Exodus. Which is p neat tbf.

I was in a proper sports bar in Tamworth half an hour ago and as it filled up with families and true believers I felt like a bit of a bit, they were sweet peeps with my own accent so I wish no harm on England the team per se. Plus this is the least hateable England squad in forever.

A bit of a git, excuse phone

Well he got Maguire right, but you'd have to be a moron not to.

This is the first England team I’ve wanted to do well since I was six years old tbh.

A bit of a bit <3

Least hateable in forever is prob otm. To imagine being swept away or enthused by England though, p tough.

xxxp

I would very much like England to win this match
