owl71 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I’ve thought for a while that this World Cup will see few shocks, and some big scores. Playing mid season means it’s a level playing field in terms of energy levels. In Summer the players who’ve been involved in the latter stages of the Champions League and Europa are always more knackered. Climactic conditions are the same for everyone, no jungles or high altitude. Jet lag is not a major factor for European or Europe based players, which means almost anyone who’s any good.

owl71 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Agree with above comments about England’s occasional lack of defensive organisation and composure.

Mark Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Well, for once it was actually exciting Watching England . Can't do much more.

No matter what or who the team is it happens, complacency slips in for a moment or two. However, the penalty was never a penalty so I’d scrub that off anyway as being a lapse. Plenty positives.

Owling_Wolf Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I've never had less anticipation of a football World Cup than this one. I suppose because our club league is still playing, it's involving a joke host & timing, all the politics surrounding it - 15 mins before kickoff of the Dutch game, ITV's priority was to have a reporter asking Dutch Fans outside the stadium "Did you think about not coming?" - and the plethora of other sports events & finals this amazing sporting year. And the game yesterday was tripe. Today things changed! I'd never even looked at the schedules until after the England game. Wow!

England were thinking doing it from the start of the match but the threat of getting a booking in first minute for the captain was too much of a risk with the rest of the match to play. After forty five minutes, the match was won, England could afford to substitute anyone. How much media coverage would that action have created?

LiamOwl Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 It’s not the booking in the match that’s the issue, it’s risking a suspension for two before the quarter finals(?). I’m all for them making a stand for causes they believe in, but they’re footballers first and in the main that has to take priority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
