Amazingly despite all their talent Belgians can't defend and Courtois is nowhere near the best form.
Reckon England have a chance against Belgium if they're smart. Which they won't be.
Reckon Belgium could be done after the group stage this year. Tunisia is one of the best underdogs in the tournament.
Belgium are coming into the tournament in good form though. It would be a big disappointment for them if they don't reach the quarterfinals at least.
They've only played rubbish teams though. Can't remember the last big opponent they played. I am with Klaus - they could be the upset of the tournament.
England are dark horses of this World Cup. They remind me of Croatia in 1998. Kane=Suker.
They'd have to get past Colombia, Germany, Spain/Argentina and then the final. No way.
They'd have to be less Spursy too.
I don't see England doing anything but getting to the knockouts. They won't make any real waves.
England has an interesting line up. They are defensively solid, and have a few attacking players who can win games for them. Dark horse in the world cup imo.
It's going to be about mentality for England, as it usually is. The fragility of the so called Golden Generation still feels present. Hope Southgate can quash it.
Feels like we are the most prepared for a big tournament in ages. No huge expectations though I recon teams won’t fancy playing us. Kane and Sterling are handfuls and we are the most physical team in the tournament
England have pace and physical strength in all areas of the pitch. I think they can do really well this year.
No technical quality will be the shortcoming.
May be it's too early but, apart from the Spain-Portugal match, i haven't seen too much technical superiority from the other teams.
yea, I think italy would have taken home the cup if they were playing. Defend all game and nick a goal each game.
Everyone seems to be shit. Spain look the strongest team out there so far.
Agreed. At least Spain could score a few of their opportunities. Portugal was always going to be their toughest group stage game anyway, and they would have walked out winners had it not been for CR's late game heroics
i can see panama resorting to fouling a LOT in this game.. they did it throughout qualifying against teams considerably worse than belgium
Belgium coming from every angle. I hope to see some goals.
