Seeing as all the predictions you have made in this world cup have gone the opposite direction, we can easily assume this one will too ....

Okay, even if he comes to England, he's not coming to Liverpool

I can bet you it's Man City

Liverpool can't have him. Liverpool can't afford him. So, don't be disappointed when it happens so. Prepare your mind now!!

The Nigerian golden generation of okocha, janu, oliseh etc is one of the few African teams that can get to a world cup semi final but we lost it due to indiscipline, corrupt bff officials, bribery etc
If we went with our real players to 2002 world cup we would have gotten to the semi final.
If we had qualified for 2006 world cup we could also have gone far
But okoacha and some othe players will not play some qualifying matches due to carelessnes and we will loose.
THE GILDEN GERLNERATION WERE UNDERACHIEVERS AND DISAPPOINTED AFRICA.
attitude is sometimes more important than talent.
The golden generation was like the present post Ferguson Manu
Lots of good players but no teamwork, discipline, coaching, a disorganized bff, fighting between the players, allegation of bribery etc

He should work on his finishing

I disagree he should work on his movement , desire, belief, anticipation, confidence and work rate .

Mbappe is running for goal he has the pace to get to the backpost but he is jogging ,no anticipation, and no desire or belief.

On two occasions he had the chance to have got two tap ins but he was missing in the game against Poland.

Senegal tried. The English are just better in every regard.

Disagree completely.

Saar had Walker on toast and missed a sitter, blasting over the bar no composure. Pickford made a world class save. England were on the ropes clueless for near 35 minutes of the first half.

After Senegal conceded two goals against the run of play. They Senegal lost belief and composure and all of a sudden England started dominating.

Goals change games and that's what happened for England.

Did anybody notice the handball it was worse than the handball Poland got against France. But no penalty given.

England can win
Get Luke Shaw to man mark Dembele
Get K Walker to man handle Mbappe
This would cut short their goal supples

Walker was put on toast by Saar and he burned him on several occasions. What do you think Mbappe and Dembele will do to him , give him a full English breakfast with burned toast.

Luke Shaw is not in the equation.

Agreed without reservation

Senegal were better earlier on. They seemed the most threatening side until that 1st goal unraveled everything

Agree 100% Senegal really pushed them for the first 30 minutes until Henderson's goal.

I thought I was the only one who noticed the handball. Honestly it's an absolute joke with all these inconsistent VAR calls.

As for France beating England that's possible but the yeye 3 lions might just park the bus and hit on counter like they deployed at the 2020 Euros.

See the France 98 team was just a version of the Atlanta 96 team but by then indiscipline had set in and we went to the world cup with a new coach that was hired just 3 months before the.
In 2002 we got tired of the indiscipline and sacked Most of them and the young players couldn't do much
In 2006 we did not qualify because our best players did not play some of the qualifying matches out of overconfidence.
If we had been disciplined a world cup semi final was sure.
Also remember we were banned from the 96 and 98 nation's cup and so could not develop the Atlanta 96 team properly.
The players were indisciplined and badly managed with frequent change of coaches and personality clashes that's all

Bellingham is a problem in that midfield o

When I said that Jude Billingham is the best young midfielder in the world I got dogs abuse.

This is not Midfielder who fancy tricks and dribbling here and there. He is way ahead of that.

How can a 19 year old have so much vision, an array of passes, then be box to box offensive and defensive then crown it all with physicality,pace and stamina.

It's baffling his price has just gone up , only the best teams in the world can afford him . And less than three years ago he was playing for Birmingham in the Championship as a 16 year old consistent starter.

Pedri comes first. Jude is only better than Gavi based on physicality and maybe pace. This Jude is just hype abeg... Nothing special or unreal about him.

I want you to rewind what you have said and appraise it in the context of football ⚽ and then specifically with the position of Midfield.

Can I add height to Jude compared to Gavi then if you have PACE and PHYSICALITY and vision plus a good level of technicality then what will Gavi have over him.

Doing round abouts and drag backs and slowing the game down.

Jude will bench Gavi what ever the team , because he brings so much more to the table.

Japan vs Croatia.

1-1 draw. Penalty will decide the winner.

Brazil vs Korea

The Brazilian team will scrap through against Korea (3-1).

I pick England to defeat France. I don’t like England either but I am tired of the whole Mbappe hoopla. Now the media into his head that he’s the best player in the world and he’ll go back to PSG to disrespect his elders like Messi and Neymar.

We can’t let that happen. Please join my crew: anyone but France.

That's your opinion and I respect it. For me, Jude is just another English player getting unnecessary hyped.

Anyone noticed Japan plays 541 formation and the highest touch they make on the ball is 1 or 2 touches in their own half. While they hit on the counter. Similar to Rohr style those days.

Not similar to Rohr at all... Rohr's was ultra defensive and anywhere Belle face tactic.
