Re: World Cup 2022 Forum

Being reliant on two defensive mistakes as you put it is all part of the game. About putting the opposition under pressure is how mistakes are made, particularly by defenders. I'm sure if you guys won the final due to a 'couple of mistakes' by the opposition you wouldn't care too much. Sublime goal...

Re: World Cup 2022 Forum

Let’s be honest this was always coming despite all this nonsense about Southgate improving the players. The young players are improving at their clubs but they look isolated and often lost in his very basic set up because Southgate has not improved his technical ability or bravery. They have gone b...

Re: World Cup 2022 Forum

Let’s see who gets the blame: Ref? Kane? Southgate? Macron? Blame should not be on Kane. The team should have scored at least once in open play to keep themselves in it rather than relying on penalties. Other players need to step up in big games like this too. Some poor substitutions and too late b...

Good for test cricket and agree, still the best form of the game.
Stokes focuses on his job as captain and a player


Pat Cummins focuses on things which have no relevance to a captain or a player .

Shearer is right re Kane Why should Southgate rest him, when Tottenham dont.. burn him out I say so he falls over when back at club land 😉 I think by rest, he means give someone else a chance to actually do something up front. Not sure he’s worried about Kanes welfare. Problem is under Southgate , ...

The reality is, for any sport that is not parochial like AFL, it's a numbers game first and foremost and any country that has a massive population, coupled with even a half decent interest in a sport will produce a larger talent pool than us.
