2018 FIFA World Cup (Official Thread)

[BuckeyeNation27]

A team that falls all over themselves in normal play is going to play for the World Cup. Practically the only way this England team can score is from the spot or on free kicks. Give them a wide open goal or a man advantage rush and they couldn't find the back of the net if you paid them.

Maybe not coming home.

Taking Sterling out there is a little questionable, no? Dude was speedy as hell.

England looks completely gassed right now.

Huge gap in the central midfield as well.

Mental mistakes at times in defense (which could be attributed to fatigue).

 

[OHSportsFan]

Oh England

 

[Dee-Liem]

That goal was coming because Stones lost Mandzukic on that cross when the forward got hurt (and he was free).

Seems like Stones loses it mentally (focus) at times.

The entire England backline has been losing forwards on runs (Perisic's goal).

 

[Buckeye513]

Excellent.

LOL. So much for mother England. Vive la France!

 

[Dee-Liem]

The real sad thing is, there isn't a consistent scorer England has outside of Kane.

You can't turn to anyone else.

 

[TooTall]

Scoring a goal in the 5th minute and trying to sit on that lead for 85 minutes is so England.

 

[Dee-Liem]

I don't know, Dele Alli looks like he's out on his feet.

His play looks like he's really fatigued.

You need some sort of link in the midfield.

Fuck that, unless they send their diving team home and the actual soccer team to Russia.

Freedom fries?

Rashford really hung that.
