If you rashly ‘dive in’ for a tackle, particularly in the penalty box, you are not in control of your arms.

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) Saw final 15 of 1at half, all of 2nd. Seemed pretty flat at 0-0, never Ronaldo's goal in 1st place. Penalty pretty soft...Uruguay seemed to get into it after that opener and the fame as a spectacle needed Portugal to get it IMO. Uruguay 0 goals but 3 times hit woodwork so far.

MarcusX Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 What we thinking tonight then? Rumours Hendo in for Bellingham, now I know some will question that on talent - but on the face of Friday's performance, why not? We looked better when Hendo came on and regained midfield control (from what I saw) I'd like to have seen Kane rested in that game, so perhaps tonight? Then again, ultimately he's our best player - I just wonder if a hungry (and presumably fully fit) Wilson offers us some more energy? I'd like to see some more "freshening up" but tbh I wouldn't change the back four or Rice. Perhaps swap out Mount, I really want to see Foden get more game time. The draw is interesting - a first place sees a potentially easier last 16 game (on paper) but a QF with France likely awaits. Second place would be a likely route of Netherlands and Argentina - are both winnable? they should be IMO though we have to go out and win this and do so convincingly. Forget the draw, we'd need to get past France at some point if we want to win it. You don't want to go into knockout football off the back of two realy poor results and scraping through. You want a strong performance and players on form. I'd love to see Kane get a couple of goals if he starts and a clean sheet, but it's a "derby" and they will be well up for it, anything can happen. I can't see a 4-0 though, so I think we're safely through. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they are told to reflect the diversity of football crowds these days, so that includes women, kids (though few can afford to take their children to Qatar for this one) and ethnic minorities. Which is probably why during Canada's last game, the fan cam found a patriotically dressed (maple-leaf turbans) Sikh family group.
