Im sure you were alive to watch it because you appear to have severe cognitive decline - we were very good in 2018. Argentina and Croatia both dispatched 4-2. Better that tournament than any England team ever.
I may have severe cognitive decline but it’s nothing to do with my age 😂

France were average in 2018, beat no one of note en route to the title

Australia, Peru, Argentina, Uruguay, Belgium and Croatia

Argentina were shit at that time, the rest read like a who’s who of world bottlers

Yep, Argentina were terrible. They had zero balance at this point - think they lost 3-0 or something to Croatia in the groups ???

Uruguay and Croatia were good, not great games. It was a good WC for them but hardly vintage.
 
Anyone who thinks final is a foregone conclusion because Spain play better football is wrong.

Anything can happen in a final. United beat City in a final. Spain would win a league tournament playing this way as they’re the best , most consistent team but in a cup final England have individuals and stay in games.

We will be under fire for a lot of the game. It will be tough as hell. But it’s a winnable football match, this Spain team is good but it isn’t 2010-2012 good where they were inevitably sucking the soul out of teams.

I don’t think Spain are as spunktastic as some. They are capable of decent spells and have some decent players, but I think Germany were better than them and deserved to beat them. I think they have defensive weaknesses.

England are fucking boring and dogshit tactically (by that I mean they have no coached clue how to do anything with alacrity except shuffle around in a deepish block - when they do have possession, which they sometimes are forced to do because they mostly have played weaker teams, there is no structure to it ) but they’ve definitely got enough stodge/individual ability to grind out this game.
 
Before you guys suck each off, I'd point out that without a very generous penalty your XG would be 0.50, so best/deserved would be a bit happy clappy. Eeked out timidly would probably do it more justice.

Great in the first half, standard international football stuff where you don’t necessarily have lots of xG but we had total control. Second they packed the midfield and made things hard but we scored a very marginal offside goal and were clearly the better side.

Deserved win. Watkins goal may be low xG but who cares lol? We have players with actual quality who produce game winning moments. I’ll take that over chance creation but not the quality to score.
 
You not English BC? Never knew that, where you from?

The race that invented everything worth a wank.

Belgium, Uruguay and Croatia all at their peak. All much better than the current England team. Beat Argentina in a classic World Cup game.

Scored the most goals - played great football.

Saka needs to touch the ball on every attack. Kane was poor today and needs to be dropped.
Not a popular opinion on here I’m sure, but they need to ratchet it up to beat Spain. Can’t keep pulling rabbits out of the same hat.
 
Not watched a lot of England but the first half they seemed great, even had Kane getting involved and in the box. Second half Netherlands seem to pack their half a lot more and obviously made it a lot tougher, but didn't help Kane was nowhere to be seen.

Sad to see after all he had done for us to become so anonymous.
