this is England's best chance to ever win ANOTHER world cup now. We will now lose to Columbia, probably on penalties.

Re: Australia v Peru
Bit of perspective here wouldn’t go astray for the naysayers. Australia 24 million people, the talent spread among FOUR football codes. Peru 32 million population, ONE football code. And I bet the Peruvians’ ball skills are honed by more street football and pickup games on village waste grounds. In ...

Re: World Cup 2018
3 points is all that we needed. One sided game but we didn't score. On another day that could have been 6-0. Ref was woeful. Ref was woeful but this is where VAR should pick up/ correct his mistakes. If you give the first penalty then you have to give England at least two for the fouls on Kane ...

Re: Honduras v. Australia
Not a bad result for Australia but they were clearly the dominant team and should have won.
Still after all these years and world cup campaigns Timmy still looks the most likely to get a goal, which im sure he will in the return game.
