    Sancho is equally very talented but a waster who doesn't really care about his career to the extent he should.

    No I'm saying if you watch them play, they try to play the short intricate passing game. We've seen them do it throughout this tourny. But when they came up against a superior side they fell well short. They still tried to play that way but Spain clamped them down. Numerous times they well...

    Yeah. Did you not see them trying to play out of the back but Spain had them clamped down? It wasn't for a lack of trying, it was a lack of comparable ability. Thats why I called them budget Spain.

    That might all be true (a lot of assumptions made though) but regardless we are going to need another RB. I don't mind selling anyone truly but this seems a weird one unless we have someone better lined up.

    I don't really see the logic of selling when we will need to buy another RB for Porro's competition. I'm also not so sure why everyone is convinced he won't get any minutes at RB this season? Competition is good but also they offer quite different things so having different options for...

    3rd place play off game, the desire isn't there nor the pressure. Tbh England have more to prove so that might explain a difference in desire.

    It was a Spanish overseas territory that Britain inhabited on the sly and then asserted ownership. Spain were contested this British claim to the island and Argentina once they separated from Spain inherited their claim.

    I expect Spain to dominate the ball but as I said Budget Spain play the same style so they will at least try and fight for the domination. When they realise they can't win that way they will adapt and try something else.

    Nope I don't think they are, or if they are they aren't what I consider good at it. All three also play too far forward to have the impact in the area im suggesting as well. Well I marvel at Messi for his combination of everything but it's that everything that makes him what he is. Watch him...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    No I don't see those English players as being from that mould. You're looking at this the wrong way. Wharton for example is a great switch passer and has a great eye for a pass into the space behind the line but I'm talking about the mundane. The short pass guy who passes to one player then...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    I'm not acknowledging them, I don't see them as the solution to the problem. None of them are aggregate high ball passers into and around the lines. I'm talking players in the mould of Xavi, Iniesta, Rui Costa etc. Players who pass and move between the lines. Men who will orchestrate the play...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    Dominated by a possession midfield. Dominated once again again by a possessionally strong midfield, short passes and interplay galore. Not so much out played by possession but out gunned and that France side always looked to have another gear if they needed it. Just lost too. Stronger side...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    They are not the kind of passers needed. England don't need Hollywood ball guys, they need an orchestrator, conductor neither MGW or Wharton are that and not to a high level. I do think adding some more technicians would have helped but fundamentally it's a player type that England simply...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    Even if he had picked those guys the same problems would still exist, to a lesser extent but still the same. England do not have a orchestrator and pretty never do and until they have one who take a ball under pressure and conduct the play in the middle it's gonna continue to be P+P (Pace and...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    When I saw the starting line up I was surprised that Saka wasn't starting. This game seemed made for him, strong on the ball, able to beat his man and threat from a cross or shot but you know fair enough, he picked who he picked. It's the 2nd half when the squeeze started and he took off...

    Tbh I don't really see Kane as someone who can play those passes. He's a fantastic switch passer over long distance, but tight between the lines? That's not his forte at all, but yeah maybe the opportunity would have arisen if we had made the subs we are suggesting. Personally I think bringing...

    If you swapped them I don't think it drastically changes but Messi is levels above Kane on the ball and having a Messi in your side is going to give his team mates more confidence in possession simply because he's on their team. So I do think you would have seen more possession counters, the...
