FIFA World Cup 2018

VA shite more like. Although in that game the entire set of officials was utterly useless. They ignored their instruction to not flag close offsides on multiple occasions (Khazri was miles on second half), utterly failed to control the game, and missed the most blatant penalties you'll ever see.

Lash Vardy and Rashford on for either Kane/Sterling/Lingard. 

Only player that seems interested in driving at them on a run is Harry Maguire

This game has been classic England and I don't mean that in a negative way. There's been a great 20 min period were we were playing fantastic, some glimpses of good pressing and play, a dopey moment and a spell of sidewards passing whilst looking lethargic as fuck. 

u wot, on for Kane????

fuck it, that's so the best way to win any game - ref wasn't giving us anything & a last min winner will be better for morale than a comfortable win. I love the World Cup.

That 2-1 was my first correct result in the predictor too. About ruddy time.

Saudi Arabia’s plane has landed safely despite a terrifying incident when it caught fire during their flight to Rostov-on-Don for the World Cup game against Uruguay on Wednesday.

The Saudi Arabian Football Federation posted a statement on Twitter saying it “would like to reassure everyone that all the Saudi national team players are safe, after a technical failure in one of the airplane engines that has just landed in Rostov-on-Don airport, and now they’re heading to their residence safely”.

The team posted photos of the players exiting the plane and smiling on Monday night but did not release further details of the engine problem, despite video taken from on board the plane showing flames coming from beneath one of the wings.

A statement from the airline, Rossiya, claimed that the preliminary cause of malfunction was a bird flying into the engine – but both were working on landing at Rostov-on-Don.

The Saudis were beaten 5-0 by Russia in the World Cup opener in Moscow last week. They now take on Uruguay after the South Americans edged Egypt 1-0 in their first game.

Why does Maguire keep calling Kane "H"? Makes them both look like cunts.

He's a big fan of Steps.

Tbf other than score he did fuck all...like most of the team like but still. He didn't exactly do much but get two goals and get gored to fuck in the box

That's what he's there for though. Alli was an utter waste of space after the first hour and should have gone shortly after half time, but with Kane if we're going to create anything he's the one who's going to put it in. That header was absolutely outstanding, had to generate the power himself and put it exactly where he did or it's an easy catch for the keeper. I wouldn't have fancied anyone else in the squad to score that.

Trippier played so well yesterday that I have no chance of seeing Trent

So, he didn't so much but win us the game haha. 

I mean, the smaller teams are gonna double up on Kane, which in theory should leave space for someone else to exploit. We were doing that really well in the opening twenty minutes. In the second half they sat even deeper and we were sluggish. I just can't see any argument for taking Kane off at any point in that game.

Doesn't that just mean bitch?

To be fair, Kane looked knackered in the final fifteen minutes.

See my way of thinking was at the time when we looked sluggish I thought bit of pace from Vardy and Rashford could exploit them if they were tiring. 

First 20 we were excellent. I'm worried that other than Kane scoring we missed some really easy chances which if Kane is being doubled up on the likes of Sterling and Lingard really need to start finishing any chances they get. 

End of the day we got the 3 points but there is room for improvement. Fortunately we've got Panama next so hopefully a win against them takes the pressure off going into the Belgium game.

The world cup finally busting out its Japan shit. Looking forward to this game that I'll totalling not be watching on my phone while I work.

[OctoberRaven]

Well this already got interesting.

[Lineker]

First red card?

Anyway, Sanchez sent off for a deliberate handball. Japan convert the penalty. 1-0.
