It must have been so brief I missed it.

Hopefully he starts, hopefully he performs and all they do is talk about him...

Was just as much as the other two, basically how there top talent go to the biggest clubs in Europe. Echeverri was hyped by whoever it was talking.

Hope we see khusanov ans Gonzalez. If they don’t start I dont think it bodes well for peps opinion of them

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue never give in. They fight to the end. Come on City, come on City. Show ‘em lads. Show ‘em all.

MANCHESTER CITY, THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD. :-)

Three and a half hours to push - I can do this!!

 

[madloaf]

Take the handbrake off.

I'm assuming everyone on this thread right now is planning to tough it out till 2AM for this game - I must be f**kin mad, I've got work in the morning!

Me too, and it's extremely fucking serious...

I looked on the channel 5 TV catchup service to see if they are reshowing the CWC games later. They just show daily highlights each day. That might suit some fans who just want the best bits?

Personally I want to watch the whole match so I'm setting the video recorder. I can fast forward if it's not exciting but I hopefully won't miss anything.

Staying up for a 2am KO would mess me up for the week these days.

Anywhere to watch the whole game free with my coffee tomorrow morning?

Can you not record it from Channel 5 whole match coverage like me?

 

[Silva2021]

Full respect to the ones staying up.

Have to be knock out for me to do that.

Feels like this tournament is just ticking a long, watch out game if decent time and just check the results of others.

However, I feel I’ll get into KO watching as much as I can.

 

[Corky]

Need to score at least 7 to top the group going into the last game.

I'll have to find and connect my VCR first :-(

 

[Ric]

Decided against staying up, but this is my team prediction:

Ortega
Nunes
Khusanov
Akanji
Ait-Nouri
Gonzalez
Gundogan
Bernardo
Bobb
Echeverri
Haaland

 

[Plain Speaking]

I was gonna ask him where he’s getting his video cassettes from these days.

To be honest I have one of those combined JVC video recorders that can record either to a digital hard drive, a vhs tape video cassette recorder or a recordable dvd drive! I can still play the old video cassettes ;-) Played my old wedding video tape on our anniversary the other day, proper old school! You can get new tapes from Amazon or ebay if you need!

this is mine - just dropped Stones when I found out they told us he wasn't starting yesterday - if I'd replaced him with Akanji rather than Josko we'd have had a match.

Stefan Ortega;
Matheus Nunes, Abdukodir Khusanov, Joško Gvardiol, Rayan Aït-Nouri;
İlkay Gündoğan, Nico Gonzáles;
Oscar Bobb, Bernardo Silva, Claudio Echeverri :
Erling Haaland (F/L)

Bench: Ederson, Marcus Bettinelli, Manuel Akanji, John Stones, Vitor Reis, Nathan Aké, Rodri, Tijjani Reijnders, Phil Foden, Rayan Cherki, Jérémy Doku, Oscar Marmoush, Savinho, Nico O'Reilly.

City win 5-0​

I can replay it at my place. I need to be out by 11, so if you can be here by 9, that’d work.
