FIFA World Cup 2026: England Tournament Thread [R]

It's been a shit game so far. Why is kane playing so deep. We haven't created any chances. Madueke has been good tbf

 

The ITV panel is talking about form for Centre backs. Tuchel is not thinking about form when wants to start Stones.

Feels an importsnr match for Madueke.

 

The speaker has been great, though.

 

I'd say the only person really playing for their place is Gordon.

From what Tuchel said about Saka, Madueke will be playing a part in the group games.

 

Tuchel seems to at least be aware that Konsa & Guehi playing together is a bit limited and they're not the most ideal partnership that many assume it is.

 

Nico O’Reilly looks like he is uncomfortable doing the interview.

 

Just needs the practice, that is what these games are for.

 

I would also add Kieran Trippier to that list. Probably the most underrated England fullback ever.

 

Can’t believe how good the pitch looks compared to a few hours ago. Maybe some Prem teams should look into how they do things across the pond with the drainage. No way if we had that much rain would our pitches look like this.

 

Costa Rican players look a bunch of hard nuts

 

Why doesn't England ever play the full version of GSTK at sporting events?

 

Don't even want it as our anthem. It doesn't represent England

 

Because it would take about 5 minutes.

 

We look really good lads

 

We’ve had a very decent start and a nice well worked goal.

Good from Gordon.

 

Tuchel knows what he is doing. Gordon Madueke strike fear into teams as runners. Creates so much space for Kane Jude etc.

 

Yes. My natural reaction is that Costa Rica must be very poor.

 

Madueke needs to be doing what Gordon is doing - running at his defender. has done it no more than twice.

 

England pressing high.

 

83% possession coming up to 20 mins

 

Gordon has woken up.

 

Pitch is cutting up

 

That pass by Reece James was f*cking ridiculous..
