Incredible strike0

Can't defend either, switched off completely from that short cornerkillerandflash said:You'd fancy the Saudis to beat Mexico, as Mexico are so toothless. That should make Argentina vs Poland a cracker0 -
I was expecting more from the Mexicans0

That’s a great goal0
-
Just tuning in. Is it just me or should the keeper not save Messi's goal. He gets down so late0

This group is all over the shop. I do fancy Poland could cause Argentina a few problems.2

It was right in the bottom corner though and hit pretty hard. Maybe one of those that just goes down as a decent strikeChunes said:Just tuning in. Is it just me or should the keeper not save Messi's goal. He gets down so late1 -
Well we dont really need him, not when we have MountCallumcafc said:ForeverAddickted said:
Never really seen him as Argentinian, even when he plays for them - I'd be quite happy if Messi could win the World Cup, but Argentina dont if that makes any senseCallumcafc said:How can you not love Messi? What a strike
Get him to switch nationalities and we can all be happy.1 -
You talking about England 🤔🤣ValleyGary said:
Think they can be beaten. Defensively suspect.Callumcafc said:They’re just very good and know how to win tournaments.
We’re on course to meet in the quarters. Even with Kante and Pogba out, I can’t see how anyone touches them, Brazil aside.0 -
Yes, I've seen every game. Had to pause it a couple of times.Bournemouth Addick said:Has anyone maintained a 100% record for catching every game live on the box?
It's a bit easier to have the commentary on the radio with the wfh thing and I've adjusted my lunchtimes to catch the second half of the 1pm games live but I'm quite jealous of those who've retired and are able to plan their days around 4 games a day if they want!1 -

Mbappe with 250 career goals including 31 for France and still only 23 years old is incredible.
What is even more incredible is that he'd have to score 50 goals a year until he's 34 to get to Ronaldo's numbers.6 -
You look at stats like that, it's been used with Haaland as well, and it really hits home how good and for how long Ronaldo was.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Mbappe with 250 career goals including 31 for France and still only 23 years old is incredible.

Assuming England will finish top of our group.
Our last 16 fixture will be either Ecuador or Senegal. Neither would be as easy fixture but the odds will certainly be on us to get through it.
The QF will then likely be France.
Would be an absolute cracking game and the BBC better be covering it!0 -
If Valencia is fit then Ecuador would be a tough match. Fancy England to beat either of them however.Dave2l said:Assuming England will finish top of our group.

Agree with that. I’d have to go 3-5-2. Walker, Henderson and Foden in for Mount, Saka and Sterling.DamoNorthStand said:We play France at any point - then it’s a given we need Walker back in the team as it’s pace all over the shop with them.
Would play Trippier and Shaw as wing backs - and get Walker in as one of the three.
Been more impressed with Dembele than Mbappe….. and whilst they have a tonne of pace, technically they don’t look as great as I expected
Or Bellingham - Kane - Foden up front so 3-4-3?
We all want to see the foden that plays well under guardiola, but it probably ain't gana happen at this world Cup.
Maybe replace sterling for foden in the two up top.
Sterling and Kane have always worked well together.
Worked well together when Harry gave Sterling a great ball to attack against Iran or we play San Marino but overall they rarely look like they are on the same wavelength. Kane and Son(Spurs !) are on a different level of understanding.0 -
SELR_addicks said:The talk of Mbappe being the best player in the world?
He's not even the best striker. Haaland is different planet if you compare the two of them.
You're comparing two different type of players: Mbappe is the best winger/striker whereas Haaland is the best Central striker.

You would certainly put them both in a world 11, with Bale obviously 🙄soapboxsam said:SELR_addicks said:The talk of Mbappe being the best player in the world?

As Argentina walked off against Saudi Arabia beaten, I said on CL they would still qualify with 6 points and top the group as Saudi Arabia would struggle to emulate that victory.1

We'd have to play a back 3 with Walker in there to give ourselves any chance.1 -
Saudi vs Mexico will be an excellent test of how good Saudi are and how bad Mexico are0

I've heard this said several times and I don't disagree that it's a decent strategy. Nevertheless, is it the only solution?Chris_from_Sidcup said:

How about some good old fashioned man to man marking? Why not put Rice on him? Just give Rice (or maybe Walker if you insist) the order to stay on him all game and stop the ball even getting to his feet. Teams just don't do this anymore but there are defensive players good and fast enough to make it work. If you succeed at this, it basically then becomes 9v9 outfield players.1 -
So you predicted that Argentina would beat two teams ranked lower than them and Saudi Arabia would struggle to emulate one of the greatest shocks in World Cup history?soapboxsam said:As Argentina walked off against Saudi Arabia beaten, I said on CL they would still qualify with 6 points and top the group as Saudi Arabia would struggle to emulate that victory.6 -
I'm pleasantly surprised at the level of Joe Cole's punditry. He's not the best but he largely talks sense in a measured way. I may be going soft in my dotage but he's much better than I'd have expected.2
