FIFA World Cup 2022

*modded* it

I've turned it off. I've seen this England before and nothing good comes of watching it

[Gingerfinch]

Too slow again.

[Gingerfinch]

That was better. Quick and incisive.

[Gingerfinch]

England have a great bench but Gareth will wait till the hour mark. Hopefully not too late by then.

[yuppie]

Well McGuires doing well

[bigfluffylemon]

This is painful to watch. Ponderous with no creativity in the final third.

[bigfluffylemon]

It's so slow by the time England put anything together there are 5 defenders behind the ball and no way through.

To their credit USA are fit and well organised, but look like they'll be happy with 0-0.

That said, neither side has exactly been pressing. There's no urgency from England.

[yuppie]

Jack gets fouled even when running away from goal.

And Kane could...should have won it?

[Gingerfinch]

A poor performance but a point is decent. Beat Wales and win the group.

Usa vs Iran will be a blinder!

[bigfluffylemon]

Bad miss from Kane. 9 times out of 10 he puts that away. One of those days.

0-0 Is no more than England deserve from that display.

Still top of the group and a point v Wales is enough to go through, win will top the group, but we expected much better.

[yuppie]

I thought Macguire and Shaw were good for England.

Grealish. Runs in circles, did not seem to see when good passes could unlock the defence.

Got the feeling England were almost playing for that.

[Durhamfootman]

I made the right call by the looks of it

England reverted to type. I was really looking forward to tonight too. What a *modded* shower

[Durhamfootman]

The Wales game is no longer a formality

Wales will be up for it, the England boys will be nervous. If they don't score quickly England will wilt under the weight of expectation....... again

it's what they do. They've done it for as long as I can remember

[Durhamfootman]

Booed off the pitch, seemingly

Sir Gareth was happy with the way England played out from the back and how well the CB's controlled the play. Fair enough Gareth..... to me it looked like 2 blokes endlessly passing the ball between themselves, because they didn't know what on earth to do with the ball with nobody else making any pass available apart from the hopeful lump upfield

but then what do I know?

[Durhamfootman]

Turns out that England only have to avoid a 4 goal defeat to Wales to progress

After tonight, even with that in mind, I have no confidence that they'll top the group and perhaps get an easier last 16 match
