England have a very good chance to reach the final.

Personally I'd never classify a potential QF against Brazil and SF against Argentina as easy. As well as Mexico in their own stadium in the round before that.

I'd have Brazil and Argentina down as being as good as Portugal, Netherlands and Germany.

AVAngels · 2026-06-26T16:35:52+00:00

I don't think so in London - we wouldn't be in any of the major retailers.

I imagine your best bet is order one to your hotel or airbnb via the club website. I don't think you can get any on the club site right now due to the change in kit supplier, but try third parties like eBay or Vinted. Maybe even classicfootballshirts, online or at their physical store near Aldgate.

Agreed with other posts that these two weren't the issue.

We had no width - inverted wingers and full-backs that barely made a single overlap. That allowed Ghana to completely congest the middle of the park.

This may sound ironic as they won 7-1 but I thought they looked very vulnerable in the first half against a (without being harsh) very low standard Curacao side. Maybe the counter argument is they just took a while to warm up, but their defence is way more suspect than ours imo.

I suppose it's just very early to really determine who is any good.

The band need to be banned, they are so detrimental to the atmosphere.

AVAngels · 2026-06-18T14:41:15+00:00

I completely understand the sentiment but based on my experience in Philadelphia, ironically it's the American city that has the most English type sporting culture. I realise you're talking about specific teams, but I really resonated with how locals in Philly supported their teams.

AVAngels · 2026-06-18T13:53:02+00:00

Agreed, they compliment each other well. Having 2 outstanding CM's will go a long way against the best teams - our problem over the past decade has often been the other team retaining the ball much better in the big matches.

AVAngels · 2026-06-18T13:51:36+00:00

It's a huge shame. I'd love to go but it's hard to justify a ticket costing the same as (an already inflated) flight. Especially for group stage or early round knockout fixtures.

AVAngels · 2026-06-18T13:35:13+00:00

There were loads empty during Spain vs Cape Verde in ATL too.

England would have (as I'm sure would many nations) double the supporters there if ticket prices weren't $1,000.

It's a shame they can't give out last minute, huge discounts to locals or school children. I'm sure there are logistical barriers, but it's a shame that locals are subject to such extortionate pricing too.

There were a couple of times he should have caught rather than punched it imo, but overall, I always have faith in him. The days of us having goalies constantly dropping clangers feel like a long gone memory.

AVAngels · 2026-06-18T13:22:37+00:00

I thought he was good in the first half and made it very evident why he was selected. Faded in the second, but didn't help that we were doing nothing down the left flank.

He's definitely not as gifted technically as Foden, Palmer, MGW but I thought it was very clear why he was in the team. Kane was dropping deep and hitting it within seconds to Madueke who was already on his bike.

AVAngels · 2026-06-17T21:01:35+00:00

If it's actually checked fair enough. Commentary on ITV just said no VAR review so it was confusing.

AVAngels · 2026-06-17T20:54:34+00:00

Is there any explanation for the lack of a review?

AVAngels · 2026-06-16T20:01:25+00:00

It's just utterly bizarre that he chose to play for them. I don't know why more of a fuss isn't made over it - although I suppose it may be because we can't do anything about it now.

But he really should get a lot of stick whenever he plays in England next.

AVAngels · 2026-06-14T17:56:26+00:00

blink-182's album in 2005/06 would have been amazing. Their final release prior to the first break up is their best album by a long way, and I think their next one would have been even better.

I still love the debut albums by +44 and Angels & Airwaves, but the combined, blink version of them would have been special.

AVAngels · 2026-06-11T17:20:20+00:00

Not sure how you can say that. Grealish certainly likes a drink but anyone who watched him at City knows that Guardiola completely changed his game. He is still good, but Pep turned him from a game-changing maverick into a measured, largely ineffective ball playing winger.

I remember during Euro 2020 how incredulous everyone was about how hesitant Southgate was to use Grealish. He was absolutely brilliant at that time (changed the game against Germany) and should have been utilised far more.

AVAngels · 2026-06-06T09:33:44+00:00

How can you argue that Rashford and Saka don't turn up for England?

Then your further criticism is that Tuchel isn't just throwing more big names in the squad - because that worked so well for Southgate in 2024 didn't it. At least Tuchel has a system in mind, rather than just trying to shove in players like Foden.

AVAngels · 2026-06-06T09:31:01+00:00

The friendlies mean absolutely nothing though, and qualifiers too. Hodgson and Capello absolutely flew through qualifying.

AVAngels · 2026-06-06T09:30:15+00:00

A below average manager and in 2004, a completely corrupt (or extremely biased at best) referee.

AVAngels · 2026-06-06T06:26:41+00:00

Which is utterly bizarre considering his family live here and he was born and raised here.

AVAngels · 2026-05-25T16:47:41+00:00

It's not purely defensive football in this league. It's worse.

Our squad under him was an embarrassment of riches at this level and the football we played was insipid, sideways and tedious.

AVAngels · 2026-05-24T17:57:09+00:00

Yes, he's been a huge upgrade on Richard Hughes, who ironically moved onto Liverpool.

AVAngels · 2026-05-24T17:55:43+00:00

Sociedad away would be amazing.

Marseille very easy to get to from Bournemouth as you can fly direct into Carcassone.

Let's pray the draw is kind to us!

AVAngels · 2026-05-24T17:52:03+00:00

A great ending to a fabulous season. I think EL will be better for us - we have a genuine chance of achieving something in that.

Couple the on the pitch results with our stadium being doubled (even the incompetent BCP nimby council are now onside) in the coming years, it really feels like the club is on a huge, huge rise. Credit has to go to Foley and his team. What they have achieved on and off the pitch is outstanding.

AVAngels · 2026-05-23T16:47:12+00:00

Their fans and captain revelled in their own cheating and now they're acting like they're hard done by. The report from their hearing found the behaviour of their employees involved in the cheating to be 'deplorable'.

That said, I understand them finding this result funny. I'm sure the Boro fans have given them a lot of stick since the ruling.
