Until he proves he can change a game from a losing position and turn things around he'll never be a good manager imo,part of me is hoping BBD has an slight injury because taking off our no1 goal threat just as we got back into the game in a derby game is unforgivable if he wasn't injured.

A lot of the fans in Argie shirts aren't Argentinian,they're middle eastern or south east asian fans who have adopted Argentina as their National team to support https://www.aljazeera.com/sports/2022/11/7/world-cup-2022-thousands-of-argentina-fans-flock-to-qatar

Home performances i'm good with its the dire away stuff we have often put on that i hope improve going forward,as for this game i'm working in the morning so Radio Lancashire will have to do. 2-0 to Rovers.

Never let it go to pens if youre playing Croatia,they're unbeatable at them!! Oh and youre not dancing now are you Brazil!!!!!!!!!!!

Jumped out of my chair at that eqaulizer,i guess i know who i want to win now

Livakovic probably getting himself a Jan transfer to a bigger club on this performance so far.

If it happens in a couple of years i can see Newcastle being invited and they'd most likely do what the saudis want and accept their invitation

This is looking like at least a 120 min game unless someone pulls something special out of the bag,waiting for roverandout to come on and say we have nothing to fear from Brazil after that half 😀

He wouldn't have mentioned it if there still wasn't plans to go ahead,its the same as the European superleague as in first announced then supposedly ditched because of the reaction from fans to it yet behind the scenes plans to go ahead are still there and i'm am thinking its the same with Brockhall.

I'm glad our game is last up,if we got beat first i doubt i'd be in the mood to watch the other 3,can relax and enjoy the others now before we go,Hopefully it'll be a Super Saturday with wins for Rovers and England

And how to have a plan B coach when plan A isn't working

Croatia 0-2 Brazil Netherlands 2-1 Argentina Morocco 0-3 Portugal England 2-3 France

Ronaldo left out of the Portugal team,coach not happy with his reaction to being subbed in the last game.Messi and Ronaldo having wildly different world cups so far,saying that wouldn't be surprised to see him come on later in the game and score the winner for them.

The German team has failed to get out of the group stages for the last 2 world cups,i'd hardly call them a team full of quality players,they don't come close to some of the German teams from the past.

Probably 56 years since winning anything gets people thinking the worst. Are we one of the few teams that can win the cup,yes we are, Has Southgate shown he can get teams through knockout games,yes he has but... Has he shown he can beat big teams in big games in the final stages of tournaments,no he hasnt and until that changes you will find people picking holes in things,you call it pessimism,i call it being realistic I will be cheering England on as much as the rest of us on Saturday and will be thrilled to be proven wrong.

Would that be the German team that hasn't got out of the group the last 2 world cups,they aren't exactly heavyweight at the moment,more like featherweight

What has right footed got to do with sitting on Maguire shoulder and running onto passes through the MIDDLE of the pitch.You saying one of the best players in the world cant score goals unless hes coming in from the left wing

I can see it being a 3-2 type of game,too many good players going forward for a 0-0 or a 1-0

What part of after tonight Deschamps will tell Mbappe to play in the shoulder of Maguire are you not getting from what i'm saying,and even if he plays on the left there's nothing stopping him from drifting inside from time to time to get past the slow CB's

Doesn't matter how the rest of the team is set up,with Mbappe set up against Maguire hes going to get a couple of goals

Yes they will be concerned but i see England as the same as Rovers score first and we get confident and play well but go behind and i can't see Southgate having the nous to change things and i see Mbappe causing us tons of problems As for Mbappe playing on the left as i said after Descamps sees tonights game and sees how slow and cumbersome Maguire is up against a speedy player he'll play Mbappe up against him

I don't believe anybody with any sense of good football didn't watch Mbappe today and not be in the slightest concerned about how our ponderous defence will cope with his pace

Deschamps will look at that game tonight and tell Mbappe to stay on the shoulder of Maguire and wait for the ball through and leave him in the dust

So you dont fear Mbappe against our defence then?

You forgot the USA game then when we were shit
