Just thought I’d do a thread for this WC as there isn’t one as yet
How far can we go?? We ain’t won in 6 games, but this is Iran ffs Not getting why he’s sticking with his tried and tested Maguire and sterling’s also having a crap PL season, but maybe something might just click as that’s all baring the odd one, the same team that finished the final v Italy
Is this progress or just madness🤔
We’ll have to wait and see

Iran are ranked 20th in the world. They are no mugs though I agree that England are expected to beat them fairly easily. 3-0 at halftime should give the subs an opportunity to get some game time and experience under their belt.

1st goal for England. cross from Shaw. header Bellingham. space opens up later & you get more chance to play. even the 2nd came from a corner. header won by Maguire. knocked down to Saka.
1st goal for Holland. cross from de Jong. header from Gakpo. even their 2nd was after a long punt upfield .
2nd goal yesterday. cross Preciado. header - Valencia. ( 1st one was a pen anyway ) and even the disallowed one was a header too.
we've had one headed goal in the lge so far. Jones vs MK. think i looked this up for the last 2 seasons. it was staggeringly low. 1 or 2 1st season. was pretty poor last season. possibly Bod got 1 or 2 late end of the season, otherwise very low.

Watching last night’s Wales v USA match showed a couple of things:-
1. 1st half, Wales were abysmally poor, an embarrassment to the World Cup.
2. 2nd half, USA were poor.
So based on that, England should easily get past these two.

Just as Argentina had the 78 World Cup sewn up before a ball was kicked, (being the bent country that they are) what are we to make of the much un fancied Saudis beating them 2-1?? That’s got to be the most stand out result since Uruguay won this competition way back in 1930🤔🤔🤔
Come on RTF, what was the odds on that win?? Surely 500-1🤔
And also What’s with all this ‘injury time’?? In 3 games so far, we’ve almost had half our extra!!!

yep. huge shock that Saudi win. no idea what odds were. although they did come back from a big shock in 1990 against Cameroon 1st game, to reach that final. so wouldn't write Argentina off yet. Saudi's only had 2 shots on target to Arg's 6, so they did ride their luck with that high line, as well as playing very well at times. cracking 2nd goal. England vs Usa in 1950 another huge shock. USA were virtually part timers I think. you mention Uruguay in 1930 but that wasn't actually a shock. they'd won the football tournaments at the Olympics in 1924 & 1928 , so probably were considered favourites. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_at_the_1924_Summer_Olympicsen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_at_the_1928_Summer_Olympicsoh btw, to continue from my last post..France now 4-1 up as i type. 3 of them from headers. that's the way you put away crap sides, just like aobut 2 thirds of the goals i used to put on that DaVE HIGSON thread from the Rioch/white hot era. bucket loads of crosses & headers.
