This has to be the worst English squad to go to a World Cup in my lifetime, and possibly the worst manager. Ok the wally with the brolly is probably more of a joker.
Not a patch on 1990 and 96, when we had flair and guts in the team. I still don’t know how we didn’t win Euro 96.
Would be down to German Kuntz and a certain Southgate missed penalty
we'll most likely qualify 2nd in the group, and get knocked out by the first remotely good team we face, but that will be better than 50% of the other sides in the competition
yeah, a losing quarter final would be seen as progress.
still, at least we are not Italy, Holland or Chile. fortunately we had a piss poor group.
Italy, Holland or Chile would beat us at a canter imo. We're shite aside from Sterling and the mouth breather.

Sterling looked good this past season cos opposition defences had too many citeeh players to watch, and they chose to focus their attention on the likes of kdb, silva, aguero etc) - in the world cup, in an average english team, sterling will be shown up as the average player he really is
My favourite quote from the Kane interview was about Henderson saying, "I hope he wins the champions league as we won't people in this squad who have won trophies". Laughed hard at that, a Tottenham player wanting players that win trophies... hahaha. What's he won? I'd start with vardy just to put him in his place. Imagine Southgate saying, "Sorry Harry, he's won a league title you've won fuckall and we only want trophy winners in the team".
Saudi Arabia seem to be having a good pre-world cup warm up. Might have underestimated them. They've won both their games 2-0.
Ingurland fans and media in underestimating opposition shocker!
I jest, but in reality you'd have to think England will get out of that group easily enough. It's the knock out stages I honestly think you'll struggle in.
RE Sterling - I too don't buy the myth of his newfound supposed quality. He was like that briefly at the Mousers too when he and Sturridge (anyone remember him?) benefitted massively from the work and presence of the Anfield Cannibal. Sterling will be found out in this very average England team.
Unreal, so Sterling is a plumb having a gun tattooed on his leg.
He is absolutely pilloried in certain sections of the media, and the backlash from sympathisers have started to focus on the Arsenal cannon. Fuck me the comparison is not even close.

Lost to Italy 2-1 on Monday. How are Italy not going? Nevermind, I'd put money on them winning 2022 world cup. Not in Qatar as it will be taken away from them.

I've done a couple of predictor's of all results and both times England get through group in 2nd them go out in first knock out round to Colombia.

Haha you've jinxed them now! When this actually comes to pass (and it will now!) you are going to be popular on here with SteveO and his cohorts in the middle aged wing of UKIP.
I don't know who the squad is made up of ,I have no idea where or when or even who England are playing !
My only hope is that Ozil has a superb World Cup and that qe can sell him for good coin !
NOT BOTHERED !
