buster.

You can't help but feel that this WC is up for grabs to a wider potential spread of possible winners than has been the norm. Early days but none of the pre-tournament favourites have shown up well. Spain are vulnerable at the back and aren't as fluid middle to front as they were when winning tournaments. Only one game but...... Argentina just aren't good enough. Something doesn't seem to be quite right with Germany. Brazil looked mediocre. For those three, we'll see how they react to the pressure in their 2nd game. Note. I didn't see any of the French game.

Open dissent like this should see a yellow card and at least 3 points docked

A Thai cockroach and a British crazy horse are running away with it Is there a polo shirt that can fit ?

Game which I take to be the Final against FC Slovacko starts at around 18 minutes in

Unlikely but Spain go out if they lose tonight. Argentina lose to Croatia tomorrow and they are on a very sticky wicket. Germany likely to go out if they lose to Sweden on Saturday. Italy and the Netherlands not even there. Since 1974, those five teams have contested 17 World Cup Final berths between them of a possible 22 (ie, 11 finals)

......and get beaten by Real Madrid in the Final.

I was showering liberal praise upon him.....!!!

The comparison is subjective unless the two were to meet up. Compare the budgets of the Croats and PSV last year and you'll almost certainly find a big difference that wasn't reflected on the park.

No shame in a brave selection that nearly paid off. Very few of those who selected Portugal thought it would be tight.

Agree to disagree Burnley are a decent side, almost certainly better than the Croats but not by the proportion of the numbers, IMO.

It was Bluedell and he was very unlucky,...Morocco should have scored. Nearly a masterstroke but nae cigar !

Firstly, the sheep are in the second round and we still have to play the first. Secondly, I'd guess that the disparity in those numbers has little to do with reality on the field.

June 8th Liverpool FC can confirm that Emre Can and Jon Flanagan will both leave the club upon the expiry of their contracts this summer. https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/304212-emre-can-jon-flanagan-liverpool-fc I wonder why it wasn't done prior to going to Spain ?

If Tav is off and it'll be Jon Patrick Flanagan joining Declan as first choice full-backs

I wouldn't be laughing too hard until we see how we go.

At the Euros the team had to do more because Ronaldo wasn't really at it.

As ateam, they were better middle to front in th Euros, Ronaldo didn't do that much. Now they seem to be relying more on Ronaldo to make things happen. What happened to Renato Sanchez ?

Osijek, Croatia They put PSV out of the qualifiers last summer. 6 clean sheets in 8 games. Thu 29/06/17 UEL UE Santa Coloma 0 - 2 Osijek Thu 06/07/17 UEL Osijek 4 - 0 UE Santa Coloma Thu 13/07/17 UEL Osijek 2 - 0 Luzern Thu 20/07/17 UEL Luzern 2 - 1 Osijek Thu 27/07/17 UEL PSV 0 - 1 Osijek Thu 03/08/17 UEL Osijek 1 - 0 PSV Thu 17/08/17 UEL Osijek 1 - 2 Austria Wien Thu 24/08/17 UEL Austria Wien 0 - 1 Osijek Capacity 19220 First we have to take care of the first round.

Our mini group includes Beskitas as most difficult potential opponent.

Morocco look like they have a goal or two in them. I reckon Portugal will need to score again if they want the 3 points.

HT at the WC It'll be on soon........
