Stay where? ������

Here for the World Cup, lmao.

So do you fancy Sweden's chances of going through Söta bror? ;D

 

[Never]

My God those bloody Englishmen always underperforming and being over-hyped every damn time, nearly cost me my certain bet once again, geez. Bunch of Glorified Beer-Drinkers and Bar-Builders who have done sh*t since 66 and always dissapointed since. They opened well but that second half must be one if not the most boring half of the entire World Cup so far. Tunisia barely going over the midfield and England constantly sending those lame ass misguided crosses into the area which they fumbled away every time it actually landed in their feet xd This is why I don't like England or English teams in general anymore, you can't place a single bet on them without them screwing up, no matter the opposition, lmao, and that comes from someone who followed Chelsea for ten years alongside Real Madrid before settling with the latter... Tomorrow should be fun.



You're late to the party, lol. If Only Zise was as enthusiastic as you are, he should have been here celebrating as well, lol.



The commentators mentioned that over 58 percent of the goals so far had come from dead ball situations, and that was before Kane grabbed the winner. It's probably closer to 60 now... 60. Let that sink in.

Why do people hype us, I never see us get hyped over here - we know we r shit and seem to just mess up a lot

Probably because of Premier League, and because well, you're England, haha.

If you mean on NB, i only stay cause of the RP. Sure tho, cheering foh Sweden would be unnatural if i didnt xd. Id say we’re unpredictable.. Germany lost to Mexico and Brazil played 1-1 to Switzerland. Nothing is ever certain really..

I meant this thread, that you'll hang around in it for the remainder of the World Cup or at least as long as Sweden is still in it, lmao, but yeah, I get what you mean. Hoping Sweden and Denmark goes through, would be fun. That's the least comforting thing we Norwegians can hope for as usual xd

Btw, did you somehow change your Join date? O__o I'm certain I saw you with a Star Killer avatar from Force Unleashed several years ago, maybe I'm mixing you up with someone else, hmmm...

Predictions for tommorrow

Japan wins from Colombia 2-1

Poland beats Senegal and Russia loses to Egypt

Tomorrow is the first matchday I feel can't honestly put up a proper prediction, but to not break tradition, I'll say;

Colombia 2-1 Japan

Polan 1-1 Senegal

Russia 0-0 Egypt, lol.

.... My ex-mod account is ip banned.

Oh so that's it xD But how can you be named the same? O__o thought that was impossible, lol

We can talk about that in vms or w/e. OnT; congrats Pengland

Nah, I won't be around long enough that it matters anyways, lol.

 

[Cooh]

These tea-pissers nearly screwed up my masterplan. For crying out loud they start ferocious, Tunisia loses their goalie and they are ripe for the slaughter and what do the English? Miss everything and cause a retarded penalty.

It's freaking simple: Belgium wins from Panama, England wins from Tunisia. England wins from Panama and Tunisia is forced to play offensively against Belgium. Belgium welcomes this gift, beats Tunisia and Both England and Belgium are already qualified for the next round after their 2nd match. Then their game against each other will serve as propaganda football and a life commercial for the Premier League. The order of the world has been confirmed as it should be.

Calm down, your masterplan shall go through :>

Hmm, I don't understand, how are we over-hyped? There is no hype at all about this team and compared to other top teams like Brazil, Argentina and especially Germany we didn't underperform at all, we still won the bloody match... so cut us some slack..

So about the game, we played very well in the first half. We created a ton of chances which I like but we have to step up our finishing..., if we are able to do that we can make this WC our best tournament in recent years. After rewatching that penalty a couple of times I have to say it was pretty soft. Walker didn't do much an the tunisian guy just went to the ground, if you compare that to the wrestling moves they used on kane in nearly every set-piece it's laughable.

The second half was really boring to watch, Tunisia parked the bus and we weren't able to break them down until the 90th minute. Still as I already said we should have gotten at least 2 penalties were they just pulled Kane to the ground during a set-piece situation. They kept fouling us every few minutes aswell and the ref didn't hand out any yellow cards for these continuous fouls, so it was pretty poor refereeing aswell.

Out of the "better" teams, were we the best team? No certainly not, were we the worst team? No certainly not either.

I hope Southgates gonna rotate a little in the next game, I didn't like Sterling at all he couldn't go past a single defender, play Rashford from the beginning he did a much better job when he came on. Maguire was sloppy aswell a couple of times, play Cahill instead of him. Young was meh aswell, try rose instead and put Lingard on the bench, he wastes too many chances and try Loftus cheek from the start and see how that goes against Panama.

Overall I am happy with our win, Come on England!

Absolutely Agreed Mate I think Loftus Cheek was key to getting that second goal, just because he showed that we could sitll moved up a gear.

Loftus Cheek is very quick and hard to defends. Many England players have quick feet. Second is Brazilian players and third is between France and Spain players.

Spain has impressed me the most till now, aside from the 3 goals they received I found they brought the best combinations , were swift in the attack and were overall just very pleasant to watch

It's between Spain and Belgium for me. Both looked solid, Spain gifted Portugal two goals tho.

Every damn time you say England is bringing it home, it's coming home, but every damn time it ends the same xd This is probably the first time since the 60s they've realized that "oh maybe we're not that good after all," I'll give you that, but still, you expect them to thrash Tunisia for God's sake, shouldn't be a stoppage time winner, that's for sure, haha.

Not that I've seen all the matches, but from those I've seen I would say the following 5; Spain, Portugal (compared to their Euro16 display), Croatia, Belgium and Mexico (only heard about this one but I suppose it's granted since they beat Germany).

I overslept so didn't watch the Colombia game but damn that was a fast red card indeed. That other guy on here totally nailed his 2-1 prediction to Japan. Would have given a fine return if he placed money on that result I'm sure, lol.

None of the matches today excites me that much but I'll at least check out the two last ones and we shall see if not only for Lewandolski and Salah alone.

We've always known we're not so good lmao, we're just optimistic passionate football fans - dont forget we ARE the home of Football and just cause our teams are usually crap dont mean we're gonna be any less supportive AY!

Interested in the Egypt game tbh. Would like to see if Russia can keep their standing.
