    Pleased for Canada.

    Selfishly I'd have quite enjoyed another 30 minutes of football to watch.

    They were on a "Promise" with the subs in the latter stages

    Really? You wanted another 30 minutes of that?

    I think he's a terrific player but he's not quite there yet. Likewise Bombito.

    'Promise David'.
    Pretty much my school reports.
    Not really fulfilled. Academically speaking. Also cello playing.

    Love the way that people seem to be persuading themselves that as the quality of opposition gets better, we will have more space to score freely against them. As if that's how it works. Rather then them bumming our shambolic defence, after raping our disconnected flanks. Without a plan B to go to. Although frankly at this point is hard to claim that plan A is that credible either.

    Pretty Terrible game. Did like the South African centre back we are linked with. He is decent. Everyone else a bit meh.

    Anyway the Canucks have either Morocco or the Dutch next. Good Luck!

    Looking forward to the Brazil/Japan game. That should be entertaining.

    'Shambolic Defence Bumming' and 'Disconnected Flanks' are definitely going on the long list of names I would call a band if I ever formed one.
    Both of them would still be behind 'Stalls Gents Urinal Disaster' from my theatre days though.

    Glad to see that belligerent taciturn miserable basta Clarke has gone. Apparently Ange is in the running for the job lolz.

    I think that there's an argument that the better teams are likely to press england higher and, should england be able to play through that press, there will be space in behind. But that doesn't make the games as a whole easier.

    There is that argument. There's also the argument that in order to do that England should have full backs (arguably the most demanding modern position) used to playing in that position, and a forward line used to running in behind. Or at least players with experience of playing together so that they can find each other. Oh, and maybe some good technical players who can kick the ball well to them.

    [Thread derailment]
    Many years ago, the local music zine in Oxford published their best band names of the year one issue. I still remember:
    Bob is 32
    Death by Milkfloat
    (And my two personal favourites)
    Aardvark and the Swinging Testicles
    Foul Language and the Chickenshits

    They really should've gone with Fowl Language.
