😂 everything must come back to England!

Not been a good watch, Serbia are a good side and Brazil's attacking talents have not had their best games.

Yes it has to be about England because it pisses me off when people cream themselves when Brazil beat a slightly above average Serbia team 2 0 or Spain Hanmer an awful Costa Rica team yet give England no credit for their performance

People are just commenting on a game in a seperate group in the opposite side of the draw. Brazil were hardly amazing and I dont see anyone implying that they were as such.

I have seen loads of people credit England the other day but you seem to have such an overwhelming obsession and paranoia about it that you cannot allow conversation about other teams without assuming that it must somehow be a dig at England. I just dont get it and surely it must remove any potential of you enjoying any game aside from ours?

I thought once Brazil got going they looked like scoring with every attack. Having said  that I think that any team with Fred in it has a weakness.

Being an England fan always makes me paranoid

I take my red, white and blue glasses off when I watch England. I try and be objective about football in general. It’s better for my blood pressure.

Yeah he is an odd selection even as a squad player. I think they are much more pragmatic than they have been in years gone by.

To early to tell yet. I think the frogs will be there or thereabouts unfortunately.

Interesting question - who'd everyone have in a combined Brazil and England XI?

Its funny Id doubt Richalison would even make our squad but hes superb for Brazil.

Probably for me :

                            Alisson

Trippier.     T. Silva.  Marquinos.   A. Sandro

                   Belligham.   Rice

      Saka.           Neymar.       V. Junior

                             Kane

Brazil slightly edge us Id say 6 to 5. But in modern game the centre midfield is king and we have an advantage there now I think.

That said in terms of quality on the bench Brazil are very good, as are England, but... I think Id rather have Jesus coming on to win a game over any of ours.

I think Casemiro is as good as Rice. Raphinha was poor last night but he’s a match winner on his day. I like how they have two wingers right out on the touchline, It makes the pitch big when they have the ball. Kompany has the dingles set up the same way.

I'm enjoying this game,still 0-0 atm but both teams desperate for the win.Iran looking likeliest to score with 15 mins to go.

[47er]

Exciting game, Wales living dangerously!

[Silas]

Iran probably should be leading.

Think there might be a late goal for one of them here, probs going to be 8/9 mins added time. 

[Mike E]

Fuck me that HAS to be a red for Hennessey. Ridiculous challenge.

[Silas]

Flying knee kick to the chin. 😲😲

[Mike E]

What a game! Goes to show the credit England deserved on Monday.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Exiled_Rover]

Imagine not taking Ryan Hedges. Wales are a poor, poor side. 

[Silas]

Qualify tonight and then let our B team send Wales home.

If Heineken did.....

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Yep, Wales huffed and puffed but Iran were clearly the better team in the second half. Bale and Ramsey anonymous.

[Sparks Rover]

Wales played with 9 men, Page playing his mates who should be nowhere near the team...Bale and Ramsey....

Joe Allen passing the ball to them for both goals.  Total shit
