Job done today, Belgium is a pass, lets improve at the back last 16 then we'll have a good chance of doing well :) | | | | |

It's how I see it. Panama are absolutely horrific and they've manged to tear us a wrong un a couple of times ( early on ) I doubt they will second but the backline concerns me. | | | |

Fair enough. I'd hate to see how you would describe Town's defending at times last season if that counts as a shower though! [Post edited 24 Jun 2018 15:17]

But you can also argue no team's defending so far has been great | | | |

Probably, but I still think it’ll be what does for us | |

No, I'm not taking the pi55. Superb 5-0 half time and a fantastic 6-1 win vs very poor opposition which we MADE look poor by being very very good. Defensively though, we've conceded to a terrible side who could have had 2 or 3 another day themselves. If you really find that level of defending acceptable then each to their own. I'm not glossing over how poor we are at the back due to hammering a crap team. [Post edited 24 Jun 2018 14:59]

It'll be fine. Belgium have looked like a shower of sh1t at the back too. Expect a 5-5 draw. | |

I'm going so it'll be 0-0 ! They have Kompany back / Vermalen fitter so perhaps will help their defensive wobbles. Like us, they've been an absolute shower themselves at the back. Could have been 11-4 yesterday. I think set piece attacking, we're perhaps the greatest side in the tournament. Think we'll definitely score 1 or 2 vs Belgium from that alone. They are all over the place. I don't see a clean sheet for us though. Panama + Tunisia both have caused us plenty more problems than they should, so you'd imagine Belgium will also knock on the door and net. A little concerned about a lack of open play chances created from England too. Need to do a bit better with the ball in open play however that can come. 6/6 is just what the dr ordered and allows us to build. Come on England :) | | | |

Both teams qualified... One eye on the next round... I'd be surprised if its a thriller. | |

One of your best posts ever, objective, articulate and measured. Without a single double entendre well played! Seriously without a moose loose about this house TWTD wouldn't be the same! [Post edited 24 Jun 2018 15:40]

I’d just have a beer, relax and enjoy the win for just a couple of minutes, mate. We’ve drawn 0-0 against crap teams so many times in the past, I’ll enjoy hammering a crap team any day of the week. | |
