Germany not winning their group (and Brazil winning theirs) sees 2nd place in England's group potentially on easy street to the semis. So we'll either go out ignominiously in the group, or win it and get bunted in the quarters whilst Belgium lol their way to the final. Probably the former.Originally Posted by Disco
You are almost certainly correct, but flukes can happen. That’s all I’m getting at.
Greece.
Panama are shit, this should be an easy W for Belgium.
Which wasn't a fluke.
The buildup to this is pretty hilarious when we eventually get shafted by Tunisia
If England finish second, or Brazil contrive to come second in their group, I could see England making the semifinals easily enough.
I'm not saying they will, but it's a good side. And a lot of the other big sides haven't shown a great deal yet. Early doors, of course.
Those two biffters on the build up show there have somewhat outdone Winston and his little charity walk by cycling from Portsmouth to fucking Volgograd.
They mustn't know many people to only have raised two grand for charity having cycled two and a half thousand miles.
I really should have used this game as an opportunity to take a pilgrimage to that beastly statue.
Boyata in the belgium starting eleven. I didnt even know he was good enough to get anywhere near the call-up.

It's more them saving Kompany for harder games.
I'm not sure Harry Kane will be getting the +5% to inspiration, striker or not.
Panama are miles better than Saudi Arabia here
I sincerely hope the +5 to Inspiration meme never dies
De Bruyne is awful for Belgium.
I was about to say Hazard is awful for Belgium, but i guess it applies to all of them
He’s been their best player for years.
What does his bell end taste like?
Mm no, nope.
Like a Grannies snatch - cheese toastie.
Hazard can do no wrong for Waff.
On the other side of the coin is Gary Cahill.
He’s their best player. It’s just common sense.
In fairness to the Belgians, they are being managed by the chancer of all chancers.
That was a filthy ball by De Bruyne.
That’s beautiful from De Bruyne. One more pls
I need 2 more goals, either team will do.
I had 2-0 Belgium
Great finish from Lukaku there. 1 more
come on Panama sneak one ffs
That could have been a red.
I'm pretty confident England will whallop Tunisia and panama. They'll be comfortable until they meet a decent side in direct knockout, then it'll get scrappy and cagey.
England: Pickford, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Trippier, Henderson, Alli, Lingard, Young, Sterling, Kane.
Yet to see Tunisias line up.
Trippier at left back?
Young. Walker is third centre half.
Right wing back. Young will be left wing back.
Tunisia seem to have conjoured a few random people out of nowhere since qualifying, presumably getting passports on the premise that their dad knew the lyrics to Dido - White Flag.
World Clashley Young
Tears in my fuckin eyes, boys.
He wasn't wearing the armband so it doesn't count.I'm not sure Harry Kane will be getting the +5% to inspiration, striker or not.
Are they any good Jim?
When was the last time they walloped someone?
Kane hattrick, 5-1.
Now I want us to lose so we can blame it on the midges.
Not really. Organised and sneaky. If we get an early goal we'll be alright, but if it descends into a shitfest then anything could happen.
4-0 easy work for England.
Is that dele with the yellow highlights in his hair
0-0 written all over it.
This young squad shit can fuck right off.
This ref is an absolute disaster, I can see it written all over his face.
First 0-0 of the tournament I reckon.
I got England $5 and Welbeck to NOT score at $5
I swear if you guys fuck this up for me.
I've never seen you all like this. The squad isn't that bad by a long way.
You can already see this lot are jokers too.
