World Cup: National Team threads #2

[gary69]

Maybe playing Palmer as one of your deeper midfielders is dumb

But that's the consequence of your all-action, game-controlling 8 going to Real Madrid. Starboys don't wanna do the dirty work. "WHO ELSE."

Well, at least he scored now.

Lol, English defence, Pavlidis again.

Rico Lewis defending like he had money on Greece

England won’t ever win without a legitimate culture change. Something that would shock their system. They could use a foreigner as manager but he would need to be strong and take no shit in the media or in the back offices. I doubt it’ll ever happen tho.

The whole world was behind France for once.
Nice to see Barcola score.

This game like the France game shouldn’t be played

Well deserved win for Greece.

Not sure Carsley's experiment was worth it. England looked like United. Awful defensively, no midfield and struggled to create chances. Pickford should be on the bench against Finland. The other options aren't much better though. Without Kane and Mainoo he could have played:

Watkins
Gordon Palmer Saka
Rice Bellingham
Colwill Guehi Stones TAA​

Colwill more defensive, TAA more attacking.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Shocking conditions no one can pass or move the ball

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Otamendi scores a goal fitting for this match

Rice needs someone better defensively next to him.
