Dang. England doing a Belgium, and Kane doing a Ronaldo/Lukaku.

I can't tell who will win between Belgium and England! England had a tough time against Tunisia, whilst Belgium had a relatively difficult time against Panama.

Panama had discipline against Belgium jazzypom June 24 2018, 12:50:38 UTC

With England, they just decided to just throw discipline in, and decide to hack them down. Just another fourty five minutes.

So what's your prediction for Belgium - England?

Re: RE: Panama had discipline against Belgium jazzypom June 24 2018, 12:54:33 UTC

LOL, Idek, tbh.

I think Panama will draw one back, and it might end up something like 6-1. But I need England to keep their discipline, especially Maguire, because he's getting wound up by Torres and co.

Haha. Hope it will be an exciting match nevertheless.

Lmao. Difficult to say. Fact is of course that both teams will want to avoid injuries and yellows before the knock-outs.

crookedfootstep June 24 2018, 13:03:32 UTC

If they're both qualified by then, they might just settle for a tie, is that possible?

marsyke June 24 2018, 13:08:51 UTC

I guess they will talk beforehand about keeping the winning mood and stuff and afterwards be happy with a draw.

They still have goal differences and such to work out jazzypom June 24 2018, 13:11:16 UTC

Besides, I can't see that happening. Belgium's Golden Generation TM do have something to prove. For most of those lads, it's their last tournament and they need a trophy. For England-- this is the first international tournament for many. I think England's naiviety might be the death of them.

RE: They still have goal differences and such to work out crookedfootstep June 24 2018, 13:17:11 UTC

Got it! Thanks!

Re: RE: They still have goal differences and such to work out jazzypom June 24 2018, 13:22:51 UTC

No worries. I mean, Beligum is my second team in this tournament. As in, when England go out, I'll throw my lot in behind them. Most of the Belgium players have been playing together since World Cup 2014, Euro 2016 and now World Cup 2018. It's their time, you get me.

Whereas only Cahill and Young have seen World Cup action. For most of these lads, their first experience of senior international competition was... Euro 2016 (trauma!). I do want England to do as well as they can though. Get some confidence.

RE: Re: RE: They still have goal differences and such to work out crookedfootstep June 24 2018, 13:29:26 UTC

That's my take on Spain too. Belgium is my number 2 as well. I do support England, as long as they're not against my teams. Haha I did live in England for a few months during World Cup 2010 and loved the spirit of it all.

Re: RE: Re: RE: They still have goal differences and such to work out jazzypom June 24 2018, 13:33:34 UTC

Man... Spain.

Real Madrid really screwed their country over, didn't they? What a time to tap up the SPANISH NATIONAL COACH before a World Cup. Ridic.

Spain have won recent championships (2010, 2012), so I have no tears for that lot at all. They'll come good, but eff Real Madrid and their actions though.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: They still have goal differences and such to work out crookedfootstep June 24 2018, 13:38:54 UTC

Very selfish indeed, that move! Which is why I'm surprised Spain is doing properly in spite of.

Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: They still have goal differences and such to work out jazzypom June 24 2018, 13:41:21 UTC

Spain got over the Barcelona vs Real Madrid wars of 2010- 2012, so this is small beer, tbh. In addition, they have a lot of experience, and most of them play with each other as well as against each other.

But seriously, the Spanish FA should have serious words with Real Madrid. This is out of order.
