You didn’t just read it on here I’m sure, that was the commonly held opinion about England. But all of the cbs, including Mings who started instead of Maguire and who has loads of mistakes in him, have been rock solid. Pickford has also not put a foot wrong.Quote:

Football is about the most short term thing in the world. The winners enjoy rubbing it in but after a while it becomes water off a ducks back. Remember 2012 was going to be the derby after which no other derby mattered? How did that work out? Do Hibs or Hearts fans care any less now when they win or lose? I'd say anyone who says yes is lying.
Over the piece the best team usually wins a tournament like this. Not necessarily the most entertaining but the team who can execute a game plan and get a job done.
If England win I won't particularly like it but it will be yesterday's news before the 1st flight to Qatar has departed for everyone except England fans and those who let themselves get worked up by the media frenzy.
Always great seeing the Saxons go far.... Then fall.
They will.

Sweden should be in blue shorts, England should wear navy shorts, Scotland and France should wear white shorts and so on.
It gets mentioned but who really cares except England fans and some Scottish fans?Quote:

Correct.Quote:

The place is nearly empty.
Sweden Ukraine not much to look at. Sweden seeing more of the ball, Johnathan Pearce and Martin Keown have the graveyard shift, rightfully so. The dullest commentators with nothing to say.
Yip which of the 2 mangers was complaining about the game being at Hampden when covid restriction applied. Can see his point game should have been moved.Quote:

I'll assume you have got me confused with someone else and move on.
Oh I don’t know, Keown’s analysis of the earlier game while this one is actually being played was a bit unexpected…Quote:
