Gerrumonside ref Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Just now, Tommygilf said: Both tough teams, but nothing exceptional about either. Both lacking that bit of magic up front. Some lingering doubts about defensive solidity despite the big names at the back for the Dutch. Senegal missing Sadio Mane unquestionably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He decides the stoppages, he just doesn't have to tell anyone else in the stand.

Dunbar Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I haven't read through the thread so don't know if it has been mentioned but the unusual timing of this World Cup is a real advantage for England in my view. The Cup normally being played in the summer means that the UK players are coming into it after a long season of really physical games with no break (I.e. a winter break). You can tell they are physically and mentally spent and then they have to get up again for a huge competition. The end of November though is 14/15 games into the Premier League season and so absolutely perfect for players to be in form but fresh. I think it will make a difference. 1 1 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

MatthewWoody Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 What @Dunbarsays is true. I remember thinking the very same thing when the "Winter" World Cup was announced. Recents results mustn't have helped England, though. Toronto Wolfpack Global Ambassador Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Decimus Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Not great for Wales in their return after 64 years.

I turned over to see Only Connect and missed it! I was glad Kieffer Moore played second half, he has been a great signing for Bournemouth. Also Mepham played well. Wales have the advantage of Iran next (and their reserve goalkeeper lol). USA play England and could be virtually out if they lose that. A draw will keep it in their own hands. The order of games is very important I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
