England V Japan

[Curian]

Gordon upfront as the Striker!! Good for him hope he does well.

[Curian]

Nope looks like Rogers upfront, bit confusing.

[Zippity]

As long as he doesn't get injured is all I care about.

Aye, well said.

He's been veery selfish so far

Almost striker-esque in style.

[Curian]

England needs a settled line up, all this testing leads to a disjointed attempt and it is showing. We have far too many players to choose from yet on the day a lot of them look average. England needs a centre forward..oops where have I have heard that before!

[Jammy89]

Japan look way more dangerous than us.

[MidsMagpie]

Usual rubbish from England and Scotland lose again Haiti must be feeling pretty confident.

[Curian]

Always too much tinkering with formations. Just get 2 formations Plan A & B and stick with them. There are enough players who would then settle into the roles. This disjointed approach does and never has worked in my view. Then in post match interviews they tell us they learn from these games. pfft

[MidsMagpie]

Italy out yet again too

[Jammy89]

Italy out yet again too

Which can only be good news - means we don't have to wait post WC to resolve Tonali situation.

Also, quite funny

Been 12 years since they've got to a world cup now. 20 years since a knock out game

If Tonali wants to put himself in the shop window this summer, he will have to do it with us rather than Italy - I expect good performances to drag us into Europe now 🤣

That would negate his alleged gentleman's agreement that Europe would mean he stays. However, yeah.

His scumbag agent is hawking him around Europe like an Albania pimp. Apparently he's approached Real Madrid.

It's clear that the red filth don't have the money to sign him. Nor do Arsenal. City prefer Anderson, apparently.

Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up staying at Newcastle United due to the price being prohibitive.

I saw one laughable report that AC Milan were gonna resign him for 75m quid. April fools day gags were really unbelievable this year.

We all know Milan don't have any money and 75m only buys you Sandro's left leg
