References to 1588, 1683, winged hussars. Helps to know your history if you are going to post in here. 1410 was a banger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you think of the Kane penalty? ITV was unanimous, no penalty. But that's ITV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkrush Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 England 2 Holland 1 Kane sub saves the team from extra-time. It will still be a massive task beating Spain. The ball possession should be on the Spaniards' side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I just have to hope for the best and assume Spain will win - likely by a comfortable margin. I don't think it will be close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish they had a Gascoine type player - thinking out the box, unpredictable. They always get predictable in the last quarter, in attack. I want England to win, but see it a Spain victory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one advantage I see England having is in height. Centering passes might be the key to victory. That is why I'd like to see Southgate giving Palmer more minutes, but I guess Trippier has seniority. As far as Spain goes, it'll be interesting to watch what they do if they get their noses in front. Will they start defending like in games against France and especially Germany, or will they try to finish off England. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Carmina Posted July 12 Author Share Posted July 12 Greggggg Berhalter is out! Frankly, his teams were never that confidence-boosting. Good luck to him doing something else. Now, who's next in the most frustrating job in national soccer? Klopp? Unlikely. Poach Marsch from Canada? Steve Cherundulo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
