Uruguay was a group game, 0-0, although I don’t recall anything else about the match itself, except that Bobby Charlton played well, probably . Yes, I know about Rattin etc., but Uruguay were horrible too, anti football, shirt tugging time wasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you follow the FIFA regulations through, which are based on a sovereign nation, anyone qualifying for any of the 4 home nations, plus Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man, and a bunch of other countries, qualifies for all of them regardless of any games played and in what tournaments. So Conway could play for Scotland in the World Cup qualifiers, and when they fail to qualify again he could play for England in the World Cup Finals. It is only a "gentleman's agreement" between the four nations and various other islands, territories etc which stops this happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's brilliant at the side foot finish and very good in the air. Can't think of any goals where he laced it? Or many shots where he's laced it. Does he have that Sheareresque power shot in his armoury? Edited May 26, 2023 by mozo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Conway is very similar to Shearer in his teens/younger days. I've not seen a power shot from Conway, but I never noticed Shearer having that in his younger days either (could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidentally Adrian Clarke said on the Totally Football Show podcast earlier in the season that Tommy reminded him of a young Shearer.

Davefevs Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 Certainly not alone…remember calling him young Shearer quite early on, partly because of his game, but it also looks too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 As an aside, with Tunisia beating Iraq 3-0 I make it that it means England have qualified from their group for the knock out rounds with a game to spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England qualified after beating Uruguay. I've not seen any team to be wary of tbh, including Argentina which the commentator is fawning over at the moment - had to switch off sound.

Was looking at being certain of top two, forgot a pile of 3rd finishers also qualify. Agree we are certainly in the mix but there is always a randomness playing in South America.

Lrrr Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 Expect as much rotation as we can in that last game then, give as many a rest before the knockout matches, wouldn't be shocked for Simons to come in for Scott, wouldn't be shocked for something like Beadle (If Cox rested) Quansah. Edwards. Humphreys Oyagoke Samuels Simons. Gyabi/Scott(45 each) Edozie. Joseph Jebbison/Delap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malago Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 Presuming we get at least the one point necessary to win the group, we will play Italy on Wednesday at 10 pm UK time in the last 16. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 I would have thought the idea of resting a couple, including Scotty must have crossed the minds of the coaches, the only problem being they are a bit limited in numbers until next week.

Sleepy1968 Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 It's a bit of a difficult watch with qualification guaranteed and no Scott to cheer on. Just hanging on in the hope of being able to shut the argentine crowd up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just assumed that . Fair enough. Didn’t realise they were in the same group as Brazil. Guess it’s the way the draw has gone. Coming top we were always going to get a tough one . Whereas coming 2nd might have made it a bit “easier “? Got to play the best at some point in reality though.
