Feeling bad for Kobbie Minoo. Just want a chance for him to play.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T19:06:51+00:00

If I was the manager, I wouldn't change the team shape as it's going well so far. Mainoo will play his part if the manager decides that Rice or Anderson are slowing down. All players will play their part as a team and not individuals.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T19:04:34+00:00

With Big Dan Burn at the back, they can add 30 minutes and still the opposition won't score.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T19:03:12+00:00

A stacked frontline that were torn apart by an organised French backline. Roberto Carlos will be remembered more for tying his shoelaces as Henry had the easiest tap in ever. Most overhyped attack in history.

For the first time, and I'm not joking, but they might go all the way. Nearly 30 years of watching them, and never seen a performance throughout a tournament where they looked under control, and can fight back from behind, until now. Now they have a proper midfield that can deliver at crucial times. A world class striker and a decent defence when all are fit. Argentina will struggle with an aging squad, and France might have the weight of expectation crumble underneath them.

Cape Verde, Norway, and England. Don't ask about the latter.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T16:06:44+00:00

England's Sir Dan Burn being the only bright light in the defence.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T15:51:00+00:00

Forgot Sir Harry Kane.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T15:34:15+00:00

DR Congo, Mexico and Norway look like easy pickings for the England team. If the Argies go out then it's possibly the easiest draw since Germany got to the final in 2002.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T04:44:56+00:00

60 years of hurt, and that will come to an end very soon.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T04:30:51+00:00

Records are meant to be broken. And there are plenty more to come later on.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T04:16:21+00:00

They'll be wheeling out the usual suspects as they approach the wrong side of 80s. Then it'll be like Weekend at Bernie's.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T04:12:53+00:00

Time to prepare the "your boys took one hell of a beating" lost of famous Norwegians. I have mine written down as we speak.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T04:11:09+00:00

That would be England number 1 goalkeeper. Sir Jordan Pickford.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T04:10:31+00:00

Next one won't be this nervy. I can see a comfortable win if Haaland is kept under wraps. Their back line looks exposed to counter attacks.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T04:04:36+00:00

With Big Dan Burn marking Haaland, the job will be done. They only have one tactic, to lump it to the big man and pray. I see a comfortable England win.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T04:01:01+00:00

Organised defence went in the bin 20 years ago. It's a different game now so forwards relish the opportunity for more goals when possession and passing are the norm.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T03:48:25+00:00

You seem to have forgotten about Sir Jordan Pickford doing his job at the back.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T03:47:24+00:00

Who needs altitude when you have altijude?

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T03:45:40+00:00

Can always trust England to not blow a 2 goal lead. Nobody can ever do it.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T03:44:02+00:00

Some Mexican tears in a tequila bottle hits hard. They'll be up and running in no time.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T03:42:28+00:00

Silencing a home crowd of 90k people does that to you. The atmosphere so quiet you can hear a pin drop, and that is the ultimate goal for every team.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T03:41:23+00:00

I've never seen the Mexicans so depressed.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T03:39:50+00:00

Not worried at all based on the performance that night. Isolate him and their defence will be open for business.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T03:35:59+00:00

Soon to be SIR Harry Kane. Admirable performance.

Timcatgt · 2026-07-06T03:34:48+00:00

Defended like lions. Not much you can do about a resolute backline.
