FIFA World Cup 2026: England Tournament Thread [R]

Yes we know what is coming. The players know a lot of the Argentines. They know about the Simeone - Beckham incident and all the rest of it. They can deal with it.

Don't be surprised if an Argentine dives during the pre-match handshakes. Not clutching their hand but their faces!

 

My colleague @mcgrathmike has checked and double checked, and this is the first time England's back four today have ever played together....https://t.co/rto9A7Xgr2

Sounds an extremely pro Argentine crowd.

 

Do u work for the samaratans

 

He might call them during the course of the game!

 

No surprise.

 

All positive vibes on my end. It's not every day you see England in a World Cup semifinal.

 

Weak ref bottling it already. Very obvious booking ignored.

 

They know England are better than them because they've already started to try to wind us up.

 

Positive by Rodgers, early doors. Better than check in, and pass back.

 

Silly Pickford, ignore them.

 

Argentina’s left is ripe for the plucking if we can muster some courage to take them on.

 

Man, this is intense!

 

We've been alright so far

 

Saka in the second half will cause them so much trouble

 

what a tactical battle could watch this all day! England have to score before they tire in the 2nd half the physical advantage right now is huge but it will shrink.

 

None have created much. But, we have created most.

 

Ref is giving nothing

 

Gordon pass the ball please

 

We're good right now

 

We need to score while we are on top

 

The ref has clearly forgotten he has cards in his pocket

 

Rice is not well

 

This is gonna be a 1-0 game. Fine margins

 

Lol we get the first yellow of course. Need to stop getting involved in these fights
