Sorry mate, i think hes perfectly rated at average. Nowhere near star player.

I wear my hammers specs on so a bit biased
But he is class and best hammers player I’ve seen in my lifetime

 

[BlueHammer85]

He's a football genius, can't believe I couldn't see it.

There’s a reason I sleep in my Southgate duvet every tournament

 

[eyalluvitt]

Did someone say Bellingham is 19 now?!

Ahhhh nnnnnnnnnn 19,The average age of a US combat soldier in Vietnam or 19 million, the press guesstimate of Haaland‘s weekly wage

 

[Blue Maverick]

Yeh so defensive we only scored 6

It’s fucking Iran for gods sake.

Yet pre match posters were predicting 0-0, Southgates defensive tactics will make the game drab etc etc

Yeah i'll give you this one,i expected a tight scrappy game with an odd goal deciding it tbh.
A combination of our,(somewhat surprising to me)attacking play and their total shitness proved me wrong.

I'd keep my powder dry for now England and Gareth fans,until we play a good side.

The average age of the squaddies who yomped across the Falklands and then fought the battle of Goose Green.

Is USA considered good ?

 

[McfcBibby]

Genuinely thought Rice was bang average. Gave the ball away a few times that against a better team could have been punished

Average I would have thought. Same as Wales. Should be comfortable wins for England really.

Good sides would probably be the likes of Brazil, Argentina, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany. I think the winner will be one of those (or England). I would have maybe added Holland but was surprised by how poor they were yesterday.

I don't think there's a truly outstanding team at present. Each has its own weaknesses. Must be a great chance for England if the manager can stay positive when he comes up against the better teams.
