Southgate;
'We want to breed a mentality that everyone in our squad wants to constantly win. We're building a team who everyone back home can see are passionate to play for England, want to win every time they go out & are improving every time.
Our public aren’t fools. They see when a team are together & are proud to play for them. They see the style of play & the different attributes these boys have to teams maybe 15-20 years ago. We’ve got a different type of player coming through our system'.
They’re working with top coaches, they’re more tactically aware, technically better. They can really go & knock some barriers down of how we’re perceived. We’ve seen that with our junior teams & there’s no reason that can’t filter into our first team."

I completely agreed with your post though, yet do think Mexico could be a challenge for Brazil as they're quick on the counter attack, its a bit frustrating as dont really want to face either Mexico or Brazil if we're in that half as both could be trickyMuttleyCAFC said:Oh yes, I forgot - that is a shame as I can't see Mexico beating Brazil - bugger!

Also dont think its been mentioned yet Marcelo was forced off due to back spasm's last night
Thankfully wasnt anything more serious but as someone who has back problems all the time, I sympathise with him0 -

Beautiful girl. Not the best pundit, but a cut above Aluko (who is fucking awful, tbf). Some of the 'newer' pundits are pretty good in general. Jenas especially is good. Upson though is awful - and I caught a match the opther day that had Joleon Lescott on it... the less said about that the better0 -
I cant belive how many changes japan made, really hope Poland win and Colombia and Senegal play out a draw now0

She's not quite right for me, bit of a big jaw...
Very decent pundit from what I've seen before.0 - Sponsored links:

Know the Japanese team well @paulie8290 ? I know I don't but after some googling for stats on paper i think they have set up well for this game tbh.paulie8290 said:I cant belive how many changes japan made, really hope Poland win and Colombia and Senegal play out a draw now

Great game brewing between Senegal and Colombia
Realistically both have to go for it0 -
Seems people judged Columbia a little too early1

No but I know Inui has started there last 3 games scoring 3 goals and he is on the benchDazzler21 said:

Kagawa who has 2 in the last 3 games he is on the bench.
They have 3 players starting who have had 0 minutes this world cup
And 3 other players who.have had less than 25 minutes.
In a game where u are not certain to qualify, I am just saying I hope it backfires1 -
Blatant penalty, should be a sending off too surely?
LAST replay shows the most minute of touches... Good call ref0 -
Great VAR call.ForeverAddickted said:Blatant penalty, should be a sending off too surely?

VAR showed it was a great tackle, thought it was a penalty too in real time, but last replay shows the ball being won cleanly.
Regarding both having to go for. Nobody wants to be runner up in this group. Winner plays runner up from our group then Sweden or Switzerland. Runner up from this group play winner of our group then Brazil or Mexico.3 -
Right up until that last replay (Just as the game restarted) I thought it was a penalty as looked like he'd take the player out first
Colombia arent great at the moment though1 -
Colombia should have scored there though!!0

But christ are Senegal a Simon Church tribute act!!2

Rodriguez not fit, Columbia looking like farmers, what a coincidence2

Bit of an English PL feel to the pace of this Columbia game.
* note to self - check kick off times of future England games before booking the afternoon off work*6 -
Very happy if both games remain as is4
-
Bloody boring though hope someone scores early doors second half, i was struggling to keep my eyes open watching Senegal/Colombia, is the other game any better. Might just have to flick between the two to keep myself awake, almost as bad as Denmark/France.....on this showing England haven't anything to worry about.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Very happy if both games remain as is

Colombia game will surely liven up though, they have to go for it which should leave gaps at the back for Senegal to exploit with their pace1
-
Felt like a goal was coming any second in Colombia match then James went off and the game died a bit.
You'd think it has to liven up second half.1 -
Hope so Chris.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Colombia game will surely liven up though, they have to go for it which should leave gaps at the back for Senegal to exploit with their pace

WTF... Senegal player just got wiped out yet ref plays on???
Hmm again on replay probably the right decision - Referee is having a good game0 -
Looked like the player was feigning injury and there was no contact...ForeverAddickted said:WTF... Senegal player just got wiped out yet ref plays on???
