Think we’re about to get a reality check in this game...

You mean Belgium are better than Panama and Tunisia?

 

[Don Karleone]

Hoddle reluctant to criticise Spurs players. Shock fucking horror

Delph's not got off to a good start

You mean Belgium are better than Panama and Tunisia?

Well, yes.

Jones proving he is what he is ... Stan Laurel of football.
Maybe next tournament qualifiers Southgate can make the case to the top brass that even playing for the rags he is way too poor for international football and actually a complete liability!

Some on here make him out to be a world class Cm it’s ridiculous

This world cup has been deceiving. We're not close to being able to compete with the top teams

In the Panama match thread (after we had won) I said that if we played against a full strength Belgium team we would lose, without a doubt, especially given our midfield (or lack thereof). I was on the receiving end of a few indignant responses.

I still think it is true. We have improved, but until we sort the midfield, play proper LB, and Kane starts playing like there are other players on the pitch, we are going to struggle against the best teams.

All Kane does is go down at the slightest touch. Probably been on the ground in this World Cup than most goalkeepers

Hoddle reluctant to criticise Spurs players. Shock fucking horror

It’s ok, he’ll mention the “love train” soon so that’ll make up for it ;-D

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Well, yes.

But only in about 11 starting positions.
