England world cup thread

I think Henderson is nearly at an end at the top. Unfortunately. Hopefully we can get an even better player. More technical but with as good nous

Not a klopp signing but shone under klopp. Wonder if he would have shone so much elsewhere .
Almost an accidental but blissful marriage.
I think klopp likes that kind of thing.

Great start from England. However the group still wide open. USA and Wales not foregone victories for England.

Not sure about the balance of the team nor personnel. No way Englnad will win it unless other teams in their knockout phase bomb out.

I also see Southgate becoming more defensive and going back to 352 as the tournament progress and playing White, Trippers left wingback and Walker alongside Maguire and Stones.

19 years old, v Iran maybe but in a World Cup finals game. Average player he certainly ain’t…


“It wasn't just the 19-year-old’s goal that impressed against Iran, though. He was England's best player. His raking pass led to Raheem Sterling's goal before a splitting pass into Callum Wilson then yielded England's sixth via Jack Grealish.

Overall, Bellingham completed 100% of his dribbles, made 92 passes (and 97% completion rate), won all three of his tackes and six ground duels. It was a complete performance. A performance that will keep Liverpool fans who usually have a tepid attitude towards England interested.“
