RED4LIFE Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Just now, Phileas Fogg said: Might be made to eat my words here but I don’t really rate Belgium at all. Considering the talent they have they just don’t look that good and I can’t see them doing that well. Quarters at best. I agree they have flattered to deceive recently but with the talent they have in the squad in almost every position they certainly have the potential to go far. As an aside, are you confident of England getting a result against them in the Group stages? Personally, I would be happy with a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think the likes of Walker, Kane and Sterling are winners and that mentality will rub off on the squad. I think Lingard and Alli is a potentially very exciting combination and both can be match winners. I also think our wing backs, as we saw with the double winning team, are at their best as wing backs and the system will allow them to thrive. Ashley Young will have a good tournament I think. I’m quietly confident about this side for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m quietly confident about this side for some reason. Fair play. Personally I think that Ashley Young could be one of the players that may get targeted by the opposition as whilst he is good going forward I think defensively he could be a weak link. Agreed that Kane, Alli, Sterling and Lingard could be match winners the same could be said for De Bruyne, Hazard, Lukaku and Mertens. Defensively Belgium also have Kompany, Alderwiereld and Vertonghen who, in my opinion, would walk into most teams in the tournament. One thing against the Belgians is the fitness of key players like Lukaku, Alderwiereld and Kompany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remind me a bit of us in 2006 - loads of great players individually but not really a team. We’ll see - might well be wrong but out of all the better sides they’re one I’d have a bit more faith in us beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIDER NOT CIDRE Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 England.... (in reality, France) Harry Kane.... (nah, Ronaldo probably) Finals... (Pah, I'd be suprised if we get past Round of 16 or.. group.... Lose to Belgium 2-1, draw with Panama 1-1 and Tunisia 0-0 in true 2010 Algeria style..) Panama (because they'll get through instead of us...) It's quite refreshing being pessimistic about England for once. This is the first year I haven't been buzzing off my tots about how England are finally going to do something special. Will be nice to be surprised!

Belgium remind me of our golden generation and I don't think they'll do much despite having one of the best teams on paper. I can them beating us but then going out to Colombia/Poland in the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
