Tylluan Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Page picked the wrong team to start with. Without Moore up top the wing backs had nothing to bomb onto which invited US on and made Wilson and Ramsey ineffectual in midfield. Meant we ended up with a back 5 and Ampadu putting in a MoM performance as the holding midfielder. All this made the US look like Man City playing Altrincham and they should have made more of it. Second half, Moore on, Wing backs playing further up and Ramsey and Wilson coming more into it. However against Iran I'd drop Bale and play Moore and Johnson up front.

Drop Bale - admire your optimism Ty. Thought he was poor, despite what the ITV commentary team would have you believe. You were lucky I thought, they missed a big chance first half, you the second (the Moore header), but other than that thought you offered little threat Draw a good result for England imo, could have well have ended up with 3 teams on 6 points otherwise, hence why I was talking about gd being important yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reesh Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 21 hours ago, owl71 said: 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. Well..

Tylluan Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 German Football Association has lost a sponsorship deal with major German retail chain REWE over ditching the One Love armband. Deutsche Telekom are also considering their sponsorship of the DFB. Lucozade have pulled all sponsorship in relationship to Qatar World Cup which includes it's sponsorship of the FA, also in relation to the bowing down over the One Love armband.

Tylluan Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) FIFA have now 'banned' Belgium's away and warm up shirts even though they've been wearing them since September and they initially passed FIFA kit rules. The 'crime' is the away kit has the word LOVE on the inside of the shirt and the warm shirt is too multi coloured and looks rainbow-ish https://news.sky.com/story/qatar-world-cup-belgium-away-kit-rejected-by-fifa-because-love-is-written-inside-collar-12752921 Wales fans had multi coloured bucket hats confiscated and an American journalist was made to change his rainbow t-shirt.
