Good.head from Bellingham. IfvI was Southgate I'd go 3 up ASAP and givevas many players minutes as possible after that.

With what's going in Iran at the moment, I'm sure we can all be happy for them that at least they get to enjoy seeing their team at the World Cup. The other teams didn't deserve to qualify, Italy were a shambles for a long time after the Euros.

All three England goals have been brilliant!

Yeah, nice for the Iranian people, shiit poor for football fans. I think the best teams should qualify for the WC and pretty sure all the best teams aren't there. Italy and others in fact, would hand Iran, Japan, Qatar, Ecuador their assses which shows the weakness of WC qualfiers and the strength of the teams from around the world.

I disagree with you. What a boring World Cup to watch - only the elite nations and players. I like the diversity and the fact that smaller, less-football gifted nations have a chance to present themselves to the world and even surprise everybody occasionally.

In that case lets not make it a competition. Lets have a fashion show and a slice of cake instead then call it the world tea cup.

That said, though. Saudi has just beaten Argentina and kind of backs up your point Hughie.
