The Football.....

[Dorset Boy]

What possible reason, if they have to have these stupid water breaks in air conditioned stadia, is there for not stopping the clock?
Football really does like to make itself look really stupid.
The momentum in so many matches is changed purely by these stupid breaks.

Well, that last Germany goal was impressive.

Some result for Curacao in the late kick off!

Potentially works in Scotland's favour too if third place becomes a factor.

I think they have a chance, if certain players stay fit and aren't dead on their feet. Pretty solid defence, strong midfield, world class attacker in Kane and some serious deadball ability for set pieces. There are a few players that can absolutely light stuff up as well - Saka, Eze, Kane, Rashford, Madueke, Bellingham - all capable of finding something special on occasion. I expect them to grow in consistency/solidity as the tournament progresses and their organisation becomes more natural and to hopefully create a platform for the more creative players to shine. And failing that, there's always corners

What think I?
The above is about right but I disagree about the solid defence. It needs to tighten up or will come a cropper against quality.
