Nowhere near poor, totally in control of game Yes in control of the game against a vastly inferior opposition, who dug in and sat back. It does not change the fact that up until Rashford's free kick our play was poor. We were slow. Thought speed, movement, passing. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen many comments from Man Utd fans about how watching the Dutch is triggering their PTSD from his time in charge of them.

But it is silly that we have four FAs and four teams for one sovereign state. Might as well let Spain enter a Spanish team, a Basque team and a Catalan team, or let Bavaria, Prussia, Hanover and Swabia all form an FA and get involved. I'll leave it there and let everyone enjoy the 3-0, but it's a stupid, divisive, archaic system. I always find it weird looking back at the 66 World Cup crowd photos/videos and seeing Union Jack's everywhere. Genuinely think it looks better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought France, Spain, Brazil, Argentina were best coming in and we would do well to beat any of them. Not entirely worked out that way. Got to get past Senegal first, but assuming that likely to be France. No disgrace to go out then if that is the outcome, but we are capable of good matches. Get there first and then who knows. Get there and we’ve got a bloody good chance. Sunday is going to be very tricky though. Needs 100% attention. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a bit of me that would prefer to be playing the Netherlands instead of Senegal. They’re more unknown and unpredictable.

Yet here we are... if we couldn’t get through a group that contained the woeful Wales & Iran there would be questions asked. Now the World Cup really starts and we”ll see what England turn up, I think we’re capable of beating anyone as long as Southgate is brave enough 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, the Dutch haven’t ripped up trees but they are a much better side than what we’ve faced so far. When we’ve played less fancied countries in knockout games at the WC (Paraguay, Ecuador, Denmark, Cameroon, Colombia, Sweden) we usually find a way to go through. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we start as favourites but thought the 0-2 v Netherlands was very flattering to the winners and Senegal have been one of the more interesting sides to watch. Got to be on it from the first minute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point is well made, but never beaten a top top side in knock out in the WC. By that metric don’t think we have ever beaten a WC winner in KO away from Wembley, certainly since ‘66.
