The World Cup Thread

[egg]

In actual world cup news, not sure what dropping Saka and Trippier is about. Like that Foden is in though.

When did this “match day 1”, “match day 2” become a thing in football. What a load of fucking old pony. The squeaky bird screeching “he scored on match day 1”. FFS, worse than calling it footy. 

Years ago when fantasy football became a thing. Calling her a bird, but complaining about the term footy though...

I hope we stuff these twats. Fucking nearly as annoying as Sweaties

No where does that say he was never coming here or that our interest was just speculative. Try again.

What happened in your life to make you the way you are? Were you bullied at school? Did Mum & Dad not hug you? Maybe a woman (chick) broke your heart at a young age? Have you considered opening up and sharing? Maybe the good people of Saintsweb can help.

I think it's quite easy to understand.

He's been at the "ale House" and is pissed. If England lose , I bet his missus will be leaving the house for the rest of the evening.

JWP scores from that free kick

You can see why England are so dull. No movement up front at all.

Was my first thought. 

[SNSUN]

We just need one goal here to open the game up and make it exciting. Wales want the nil nil even though it doesn't do them any favours. 

[hackedoff]

Just the sort of turgid crap that I expected.

[saintant]

When will someone attempt to inject some oomph and pace into this turgid shit! Nobody drops off to receive the ball, nobody gets between the lines. Rashford a waste of space.

[CB Fry]

We are never ever ever ever going to score.

Kane did, and Rashford fucked it up

Yeah once. Why don't they do it all the time?

[LiberalCommunist]

FFs, best move of the match, did the hard work, then lame. 

Come on. 

[verlaine1979]

As soon as move breaks down, the midfield play the safe square ball every time, even when Foden is in space on the wing. They just don't trust themselves to play a pass that beats the defender. That mini break by Rashford just now was a great example - Rice could've easily bent a pass in to Foden, but chose just to lay it off to Henderson who then waited for Walker to catch up and it broke down with the Welsh defense reset.

I don’t think it’s quite as easy as that.

It's all square straight lines, nobody makes angles.

Well, not for England.

[SNSUN]

Sterling frustrates the shit out of me when he plays for England but at least he tries to make things happen. Rashford has been poor.

[saintant]

Rashford is an apology for a footballer. Never looks 100% interested or committed.

[saintant]

Jennas watching a different game to me.

[whelk]

Southgate is a boring cunt

[saintant]

Why are people on tv claiming England have played well? Wales are shite and we can't break them down.

[S-Clarke]

Have we really played well...? What are they on about?

This is a terrible, terrible Wales team and it's 0-0 because we've played it safe 9 times out of 10. 

Rashford has games like this where he doesn't look like a professional footballer, so he needs to be dumped for the 2nd half. Henderson needs to go as well, you don't need his sort in a game where you know you'll be trying to score goals.

A very safety first game from us so far, against a truly terrible welsh outfit.

[LuckyNumber7]

Southgate will be delighted if this finishes 0-0

[whelk]

Fck off with your concussion bullshit

[saint lard]

Iran V USA is everything this ponderous England game isn’t. 
Amazingly the atmosphere is so much better also. 

[Ex Lion Tamer]

Neither team would admit it but ultimately a draw suits both - Wales get their moral victory and England go through top

[saintant]

Said he was brilliant 🙂

Yep !

JWP would have hit that into the wall

[CB Fry]

JWP would have scored that better.

[SNSUN]

Who needs JWP... 😬

[jawillwill]

JWP would have scored it better.

[saintant]

That's more like it England!

[SNSUN]

I said one goal would open it up. Spank these bitches.
