    I guess Bobby missing the last 6 weeks of the season is being offset by this Copa America - he’s started both matches so far.

    This summer we have had - VVD, Gini, Hendo, Robertson, AA, Lovren, Shaqiri all play at least 2 games in Nations League and Euro Qualifiers (Origi also - don’t think he got in any games).

    Now we have - Bobby, Alisson, Mane, Salah, Keita in an extended set of tourneys.

    What we wouldn’t give for a full summer off.

    Pulisic just got stonewalled by a goalkeeper that plays for a team called Walking Bout Company Paramaribo.



    Arriola shows him how to do it.

    1-0 to the U.S. against the mighty Golden Jaguars of Guyana.

    Klose was a really clever dive merchant. Got most of his FKs that way.

    but Kane is a good striker too, so he's a bonus to england. The problem will always be with england's other attacking support. They always bungle it.
    No John Barnes in the starting line-up in Mexico against Argentina in '86. Twelve years later Steve McManaman is England's best player (along with Shearer) and he's on the bench ... despite the brilliance of the England team two years before when he was in it.....
    Same in 2010edit - Gerrard and Scott Parker is wayy better than Gerrard and Lampard ....
    They never get it right (cept maybe in 1990)

    England Romania U21 - barn burner - 5 goals in the last 18 mins.....

    With England choking on a keeper HOWLER. Look at the replays if you can.

    Well I think that’s debatable... but if what you're saying is that England misused both Lampard and Gerrard during Rooney's peak, I'm certainly not disagreeing with you.

    Don't forget the no look.

    Crazy bobby - kung fu blocks the kick and then celebrates as the ball loops back to the goal.....only for it to hit the post!

    Ball falls to him and he fakes the keeper and no looks it in!

    Penalties in the Australia Norway game. Quite an exciting game too. With VAR drama as usual.

    The USMNT is underwhelming to say the least.

    Naby Keita has been down injured on 5 different occasions in this game against Nigeria, but he is still in the game.

    Horrible and snide effort from the Nigerians to try to kick and knock him down at all times. Hope Guinea doesn't make the knock out rounds.
