    Just practicing for when Partey gets a touch (a consensual one at that!)

    Can't see Saka being risked for this unless necessary

    Give the same XI a run and see if Stones can settle down and Gordon can make more of an impact pact. If they can’t, then replace them for the knockout stages.

    Why have you preemptively rolled your eyes about a game England are going to win like 5-0

    Can’t Croatia draw their game?
    I think we win the group if we win tonight no matter the score in the other game due to head to head being first decider

    Actually technically Panama can still win the group over us if they beat Croatia and us but come on

    If Panama beat Croatia tonight, they will top the Group if they beat us - If we beat Ghana, and Croatia / Panama draw tonight, we'll win the Group, and Croatia will need to beat Ghana to guarantee 2nd place as a draw might not be enough to see them qualify in third.

    Please, please, no pratting around with dangerous back and forth between Pickford and Stones and Konsa across the penalty area.

    Genuinely don’t believe they’re a good side bar Semenyo. If we attack the same way we did second half against Croatia I expect us to win this comfortably.

    3-0, Kane with a brace again and Konsa from a corner!

    I think it will be a game of attrition and don't blame Ghana for making it so in the same way I don't blame NJ for making us like that. 

    I echo that I would take a clean sheet now and even a 0-0. Far more important to get minutes in legs and protect others. 

    I think we always look better against the more expansive sides like Croatia, Spain (sometimes), Germany, Holland etc as we play so well with pace on the break and did under GS 


    Charlton and England combination producing the most damaged football fans ever? You cannot be taking a 0-0 ahead of the game with the talent we have got.

    We are going to have to break down teams that sit back eventually, and I think Tuchel will deliver on that compared to previous years under Southgate.

    My old neighbours were Ghanaian. Lived next to them for 2 years. Used to feed me as I was very broke with some of the best food I've ever had. Every weekend during the summer I would sit in their garden with them for drinks and barbecue. We first properly got on after they heard me next door being so pissed off with Suarez against Ghana during that world cup.

    Two changes to the England team according to journos: Guehi and Spence in, Stones and O’Reilly out.

    Pickford
    James, Konsa, Guehi, Spence
    Rice, Anderson
    Madueke, Bellingham, Gordon
    Kane

    Feel Gordan has to do a bit more than he did in the last game. Needs to have the ball a bit more.

    Quite like the line up. Spence has looked lively and also is defensively more solid.

    Imagine O’Reilly plays against the sides where we expect to be pressed more as he’s better on the ball.

    Think this will be a tougher test than croatia. Still think we will win fairly comfortable. Noones stopping us. 3-0 Ingerland.

    3-0 is my prediction too. I'd better stick a quid on it at a measly 6-1

    Guehi and Spence in

    Presume that makes us stronger in the defensive aspect, which tells me he’s happy with 3 points no matter how we get it

    I think it’s  purely to deal with Semenyo who is pretty much their only threat

    My wife got me a pitchside lounge pass very nice - if it stopped raining

    Spence is rapid so even if he is there for defensive solidity he will add plenty going forwards too. Hopefully link up better with Gordon

    Presume you get a better view once game starts ?

    Ridiculous prediction. 

    Konsa doesn’t even take corners

    Yes, proper seat. I think this closes during the game

    Not a fan of a non left sided left back but o’reilly defensively wasn’t great so will hopefully allow Gordon to stay further up
