They went into world cup 2018 with expectations as low as i can ever remember after the iceland debacle in 2016. Nobody thought they'd do much in russia and they surprised everyone. Now they're on home turf and people actually expect something of them. Which is where they usually bottle it. |

The thing is England have the ability to win it, nqat. Even the top teams can't defend. England have enough attacking talent it's just whether Southgate can get the right mix. |

I think we are all hoping to see the best england, whilst not really daring to expect anything other than @#%&!ing out, as usual. imagine the psychological toll on the manager, players and nation if it goes to penalties. |

I have a sickening feeling about this one. The English are being oddly self-deprecating, and this isn't a vintage Germany side at all.
45,000 idiots in Wembley booing the German national anthem, and then the knee, followed by the "It's coming home" hype reaching fever pitch. Surely to £#%&! Kroos and Gundogan won't be bossed by Rice and Kalvin Phillips, ffs? |

Looking forward to this.
As a complete Lord Haw Haw I normally would want Germany to win. However... we have some likeable players and Germany ain't all that, despite Kroos being a true superstar. Back 5? Flat back 4? Personally....I'm a traditional, play to your strengths guy. 4-2-3-1 of course. Henderson MUST be in if fit. Phillips is zestier than Rice. Ideally Bellingham and Captain Hendo. Kane of course. Shame we can't play Kane and Vardy. The Germans would have a nightmare with them 2. So it is all about that 3. We need zest. Sancho, Sterling or Rashers? Sancho. We need guile. Grealish. We need a goal. Nobody leaps to mind but Mount is tidy. Come on England. Do it for Hancock. |
