I do not hate Southgate but I do hate to have regrets. If England had lost to Italy but left it all out on the dance floor then that would have been better than playing within ourselves and never knowing what may have been. When we opened up against Wales for twenty minutes we looked fantastic. (I know some will knock the opposition). I would love to know what this team could do if we went all out like that from the off. Most teams in world football would struggle to contain our attacking players. How many times in our lifetime are we going to be able to say that? If you are more content to see Stones and Maguire pass it between themselves for ninety minutes then fair play to you. Compared to anything I watched between 1993 and 2016? Yep, take that all day long😄😄😄 Hang on, Andy Cole played in that era....? 😉

Argies starting up, a flukey mis hit shot in off post 1-0 up AND the Mexicans 2-0 up still see Polish through...
If they can equalise, they'll face the Aussies instead of France ...
Come on, Poland!

thing is he doesn't go forward. All he kept doing yesterday was going backwards. I definitely prefer Clarke over Gordon. New left back needed Neither good enough Priority signing in Jan for me. What's happened to Ryan Jones from WsM? He was touted a few years ago as a new prodigy left wing back and even impressed pre season...? He's old enough now to be given a try ..

Another good game here with Ghana v South Korea ..
2-0 down. 2-2 up. There's gonna be some celebrations with some poor Seoul's on that equaliser....he just wanted it so much, flung himself at the ball for a bullet header.
What a great day's football so far!?

Who would've thought it?
It's got alotta going onna .. Scooped goals, great passing moved goals, controversy offsides, one poor sub getting booked but no one else doing the same thing and some amazing colours and babushkas in the home and away end!
What's not to like!?
The last UK morning kick off, that's what...

Watched on tv..
Belshaw 7 m o m as not his fault it's not his fault it's not his fault...
Thomas 4 poor. Connolly 3.5 poorer as skip. Gibson 4 pore.
Sinclair 5 tried, but poor. Whelan 3.5 poor but didn't appear to try. Evans 4 delivery like postal worker on strike. Gordon 4 flash in a pan.
Collins 4 way off. Coburn 4 a little off. Loft 4 didn't know he was on to get off.
Subs: Gibbons 3 worst. Clarke 4 averagely worse. Finley 5.5 tried but couldn't thread a ball. McCormick 3 not seen it yet, I would prefer he took time out. Saunders 6 strong.
Ref 6 difficult to see anything he got wrong. Appeared ok. Boreham Wood 7 they took the game to us, look more controlled and organised. Their central defence was commanding and good luck to them in next round and beyond as the best team won and no complaints.
Ok, JAB everyone is entitled to one free hit. It's not like we've not been here before being humiliated on national TV.....but..... don't take the p!ss.

Oh deary me .. A stroll in the park for BW. Credit to them, they looked like they wanted it more, took one or two of their chances and deserved to win. All watched on TV.
We had a shocker! First ball in atrocious, we couldn't attack the ball in the box, it just didn't fall to us and lack of quality in the final third plus (again) slow start out the traps mean some GasHeads paid a few quid to watch that and be humiliated!
Evans, Gibbons (again), Whelan even Scotty couldn't deliver a decent ball from the flanks....when Trev Clarke slipped in a lovely shooting opportunity, Coburn missed it and Aaza fired well wonder - he was poor too.
Thomas jittery. Gibson looked lethargic. Gordon.... just didn't look like a defender. Again.
Fair enough, they used their research and resources to turn up a result. Really think their Central defenders bossed the game and looked organised.... good luck to them with the draw on Monday and rest of the season.
Us!? Holy moly! A Sunday to forget where too many established players didn't turn in a performance to warrant picking next Fri, except maybe Saunders who tried. A bit!

Japan look like we did this time last season; up until 2022, when our approach, possession was all going well, but last ball choice was lacking and not much quality up front.
Costa Rica look like we did the 6 months before. Not looking like having a clue, relegation material, save one or two players poor and score against run of play!

Wow! Only fair the locals get benefits of cheaper tickets. That would be so cool for you if England got to semis! (Assuming England is your supposed team to support) Yes I got all my England tickets through the England Supporters Travel Club including the knock out matches and final (excluding the semi's which I already had tickets for). There were only a very small amount of Cat 4 tickets available for each game and apart from the semi final (which I got in a first come first serve sale before the draw was even done) I did not apply for any Cat 4's as I knew my chances would be slim. Fair play to you, QG...!! Can I ask what a cat4 ticket buys you? God seats? Or do you get to choose exact seats?

This is how pre match interviews should be, we all know everything about our own team barring injuries, but it's the knowledge about the opposition which gives you an idea as to your chances of winning. It definitely fills a bit of background in. I wonder if Shrews done as much in depth research? When and where to fall down etc.. Good interview from someone that comes across as knowing their trade and how to go about it. Also, I like he gives a bit of respect out that's earned in his view.... and hopefully of his team can deliver an honest account for themselves, it will lead to an entertaining encounter.

Category 1 tickets £200 Category 2 tickets £150 Category 3 tickets £60 Problem with the FIFA ticketing app is takes forever to be able to enter the portal then it shows no tickets available. Try logging in about an hour before KO and then miraculously tickets become available but it’s too late to get there. I had tickets for 8 games before flying out and have tried for more but give up. Hence the empty seats!!! Pretty much every game is listed as sold out but then for quite a few games you see lots of empty seats. Its a shame to see people outside the stadium looking for tickets and then see empty seats inside. But then you go on one of these ticket selling websites where somebody is selling a £60 ticket for more than £200! There are also Category 4 tickets for Qatar residents which are £10 for the group games. I've got Cat 4 tickets for both semi finals which cost me about £110 each. Wow! Only fair the locals get benefits of cheaper tickets. That would be so cool for you if England got to semis! (Assuming England is your supposed team to support)

For anyone not attending, there's extended highlights later, but also, live coverage via bet365 (probably other responsible gambling website apps are available) terms and conditions apply..
Not sure where else you would find live coverage?

On the subject of Cambridge (digression), they'll be our normal allocated opponents if we don't progress v Boring Wood in fa cup.... otherwise it will probably be Cambridge away on a school night? Another digression....fa cup attendance generally down, a few less than 4,000....but what the hell in Wrexham? 19,000? BBC surely typo v Farnborough? Apologies.... back to world cup... Wrexham attendance today 9118. Just highlighting BBC stats. It's not like the beeb to exaggerate or byass is it?
