Me too

None of the big teams look impressive so far

Wont happen

I think this world cup has shown so far that the european sides are still the dominant force

Blow off

No he didnt..it took him a number of games to score against english clubs..his first was against utd in the cham league final but a big deal was made of it at the time that it took him a number of games to do that

Yes with same clubs..top to bottom the premier league has more european winners than spain..without barce or real their win percentage would be down by half

The premier league defences are alot better than la liga..how many strikers have struggled to score in england, gone to spain and bagged loads of goals..la liga is obviously technically superior to the epl but defenders arent the best..anyway didnt messi struggle to scors against english clubs for a long time?

Am i the only one who thinks he dived

Always said we could beat the argies if we were paired with them..great striking options..mediocre everywhere else

Mark lawrenson is about as interesting to listen to as a being at boring mans convention

Referee has to be completely sure theres contact to give a pen..so it was no pen

Wasnt when he first came on the scene..could have been a great..not overrated anyway..englands record goal scorer..a man utd great..pogba is overrated

Gazza could have been up there but for injuries

Agreed but hopefully in a few years when our batch of youngsters come through we will be able to catch up

That bolton lad lol...you make him sound like someone whos just come off the street in bolton and flown over..'oh aye..lets play tha game lads..c'mon keep that ball reet well'

Spains only weakness is up front..apart from costa, they are light in that position..their midfield is a class apart

When spain play like this theres no point in anyone else turning up...how can england ever compete with a technically brilliant team like spain?

Spain look good

Two decent centrebacks and two world class forwards. They dont have much else. Belgium player for player are much better. England are equal to uruguay

Remember seeing heskey at ewood as a teenager..bulldozed his way past our defence and hammered the ball into the roof of the net..could have been an awsome striker but went down hill

Belgium are far better than uruguay..aside from their front two i dont get the hype over them

Im afraid we will have to disagree on this

Why? Nothing special. Other than falcao and james we have better players than them

It was a euphemism
