    That can't be right, unless they said fuck it and decided to go full on NARRATIVE.

    Cheryshev's was the one for me, or Pavard.

    They gave Chadli first, Pavard second and Messi third.

    I watched every single minute of Utd last season and you're talking complete shit. There's not really anything else I can add, unless you want me to start throwing stats at you as if it proves anything.

    You don't need stats. He's brainless. Does nothing simple well and plays every pass as if he's playing for a move.

    I'm not surprised you'd be taken in by a bit of flash a zero substance.

    He's done well in this tournament, which I've never denied, if that what your short term memory is basing this on.

    Giggles is maybe the biggest retard on this entire forum, in that his only purpose is to take the contrarian option in every debate and argue it to the death.

    You think Pogba had a good season for Utd? Even for an imbecile I didn't think you'd have got that wrong.

    He's had a good world cup but that's a massive exception. He was £100m, he needs to fucking run games.

    I don't see how Pogba has had "a great tournament" for what it's worth. He was anonymous for the most part.

    The amount of people claiming BEST WORLD CUP EVER seems to be abit much.

    Just enjoy it for what it is, why does everything have to be BEST EVER?

    That was strange though, all the way through I just kept thinking This doesn't feel like a World Cup final, it just didn't feel big, it didn't feel like it actually mattered. Or maybe I'm still salty from Wednesday.

    Nah I think you're wrong. I don't think it's anything to do with people insisting on stuff being the BEST EVER, i just genuinely think it's the best tournament in living memory for a huge amount of people. I can only remember 02 onwards, with vague flashes of 98, and it's the best i can remember for sure.

    I'll also say most people I know IRL saying it's the best world cup they've ever seen are exactly the kind of people who'd say it was shite if it was shite.

    It's definitely going to go down as a good one once the next one rolls around. This was Game 64. Game 64 of the next World Cup will probably still be in the group stages.

    I'd imagine the majority of people on here enjoyed it so much because England went so far.

    It was a good tournament though.

    Everybody was openly enjoying it a lot even at the point when it just looked like being another case of England going out at the first non-Panamanian hurdle.

    I think it’s been a fucking good World Cup regardless.

    But yes, England making the Semifinals probably held my interest more than previous World Cups have.

    The fact that England went fairly far before the customary defeat to the first organised opposition with a midfield wasn't the reason for it being more enjoyable, this is the first one for ages where I looked forward to watching multiple games a day. Even the tedious shit like Iran v Spain was good fun to watch.

    Conversely I couldn't be less interested in the Premier League restarting, international football is just better.

    Varane’s won four Champions League’s, two La Liga’s, Copa Del Rey and a World Cup by the age of 25

    He’s quicker than 95% of attackers which obviously helps but still.

    I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing if the Nations League isn't as shit as everyone thinks it will be.

    The common denominator in pretty much all footballing success is N'golo Kanté and his Mini Cooper.

    He is a gormless pleb, and the 'excellent spirit' he has created was and is simply a result of nobody in the squad having enough CHARACTER (in the Roy Keane sense) to create an atmosphere.

    Ye but after the umpteenth shit Sterling game, you think he'd go "I might as well try X in his place".

    Yeah, but who was X? I know it upsets the Man Utd contingent here and it disappointed me as I thought he was better, but Rashford was probably equally as bollocks.

    Ok, so he didn't look as mal-coordinated at times, but he missed an absolute sitter against Belgium and Sterling won a fair number of corners to actually prove he was of some use.

    The biggest mystery to me is increasingly becoming Harry Kane, who (post Colombia) I question the performances of more and more with every day that passes. He was genuinely anonymous from the quarter-finals onwards and he should have put us in the final, with two absolutely shocking misses in the semi (ok, one was offside, but he didn't know that). He gets a free pass because he was top scorer, but he sealed that against thugs and a pub side after two games and was as guilty as anyone of us not taking advantage of the easiest route to a final we'll probably ever get.

    You might say I'm being too critical, but then that's what everyone else is doing with Sterling and that's ok.

    Normally yes. Kante was obviously carrying an injury in this match tough, because he was bad.

    Completely agree with Yev about Kane. There was a piece on the BBC about how winning the Golden Boot can change your career and all the big moves players have made after winning it, but I really doubt Barca and Madrid are sitting there salivating at the thought of getting the guy who put Panama to the sword. He was a complete non-factor in the big games.

    Kane was fine. Sterling was fine. They were all fine, just inexperienced and naive. If you watch Kane in club football he ballses up plenty of chances, he's just far more lethal than others with the half chances that come along.

    I think if anything he was guilty of being a bit too loyal to Alli and Lingard, the former of whom was unfit and the latter just isn't that good when it comes to serious football.

    Granted he basically started in a couple of dead rubbers, but I thought Loftus Cheek looked like he should have gotten more time.

There was a piece on the BBC about how winning the Golden Boot can change your career and all the big moves players have made after winning it, but I really doubt Barca and Madrid are sitting there salivating at the thought of getting the guy who put Panama to the sword. He was a complete non-factor in the big games.
    Indeed. Perversely we weren't creating much for him in the games he scored in, but had he taken the sharpness he seemed to have in those games into the rest then he'd have genuinely hit 10 this tournament.

    If he was injured (he swears he wasn't, but it sense and is the only real excuse) then that's bad management from Southgate as I'd rather have had a fit Vardy in the side than a knackered Kane. We've been there before playing injured players and it just doesn't work.
