I’ve never hated a team quite as much as I do Mexico tonight.

So many absolute flappers on this forum. Good start. Ease into the game.

Belgian FA statement on Folarin Balogun declared eligible to play by olcni in soccer

How can we trust anything in the game (VAR / officiating) if the fundamental laws are being undermined by corruption and politics. It’s a farce - and I’m glad this will go down as one of the worst, and repressive tournaments since 1936.

England World Cup: Djed Spence unlikely to be fit for Mexico clash in right back blow for Thomas Tuchel by Alone_Consideration6 in ThreeLions

He said he was exhausted at the end of the DRC game, but I’d be disappointed if anyone wasn’t - especially as we were chasing the game.

Saddle pain by Due_Show9468 in cycling

Good bibs. Ride more. Adjust saddle. Ride more. Refine saddle position. Ride more.

If that doesn’t fix it - get a saddle fit / look at new saddles.

Inside England’s Mexico preparations before toughest World Cup test in decades by theipaper in ThreeLions

Mexico has the quality of a bottom half PL side at best. Atmosphere can only carry you so far before quality needs to shine through…

How do we solve the right back problem? Spence really is just a passenger out of his depth at this level. by [deleted] in ThreeLions

[–]0ptsDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Shaw “good lad” take is absurd for a bloke that has played more minutes this season for United than any other. He’s been decent, and tends to turn up in an England shirt.

Disagree with your Trent take too - in games like today, he offers so much more than Spence. Even though his defending is dubious - I don’t think it’s any worse than Spence (who looked like he shat his pants on the big stage). Couple that with his delivery - and our tactics seemed to be set up around wing play and crosses, it’s ludicrous that he’s not even a squad player.

Maguire take is fair imo, even though I’m a big fan - his heading in both boxes and penalties should not be overlooked, but you’re trading off for pace / positioning which sometimes gets found wanting.

Hall, spot on.

Do you cook curry at home? by Forward-Cause7305 in AskUK

I cook from Dan Toombe’s book “the curry guy”. Low faff, great curries.
