The Football.....

So long as we can play entirely in the opposition half we look like world beaters

To be fair, Real Madrid have won about 37 Champions League titles without a functioning defence. 😂

Yes, our full backs look a bit scary, especially during the less structured sequences of play.

TV license looks good value.
104 free matches for one sixth of the cost of one England ticket.

Great win but defence continues to look frail.

He's just sent these!😉

I am with you.
That defence needs sorting out. Against players like Haarland or Mbape..they will take us apart.

Must be said that the Croatia defence was not exactly rock solid - soft penalty, Kane unmarked at the corner and then cut open by a long pass down the line.

$19 for a small beer in the stadium apparently

To be fair the Croatia goals were 2 great finishes / moves, but slightly worrying we got cut apart so easily. Much better 2nd half, could have easily had 2 or 3 more goals in that spell after the Bellingham goal.

@Accy cyclist please don't feel you have to share every photo your mate sends you, he's no David Bailey!

I have, for sometime now, thought USA should stand for United States of Avarice.

Doesn't help that Pickford has tiny arms for a 'keeper either.

Does that limit him taking selfies? Asking for a friend...

But as a lifelong Liverpool fan/supporter I do rate him as a keeper. No idea why he has stayed at Everton.

You could hear booing in the England game last night. We need more of it, crowds kicking up a fuss is probably the only thing that might make a difference, although as it is FIFA and money is involved, the possibility of any change to this is unlikely!

Its not going to change. They have deemed it necessary for most games and therefore it will happen in all games for consistency. In isolation doing it in an Air-conned stadium or whilst its raining is a bit daft.
