World Cup: Group G: Tunisia vs. England, 6/18/2018

It will be fun to see the characters of Arsenal Fan TV reacting their beloved countries 1-0 loss to Tunisia

 

[Pouchkine]

Or at best 1-0 victory!

 

[Terry Yake]

2-1 england

Reports say England's press conference lasted more than an hour. Not once was the word "Tunisia" spoken.
Says a lot.

Interesting. Just watched it and it lasted roughly 23 minutes. None of the questions mentioned the Tunisia game specifically. They were all generic questions about the WC so far, England's preparation and one about the history of Volgograd.

I don't follow domestic league soccer to nearly the extent I once did...but man, who the hell are all these guys? Unless I'm grossly misinformed about a bunch of these players, England sure doesn't seem to produce much talent anymore. Used to be that most of the starting lineup was at least players of repute, even if their chances of winning the thing were overblown. Harry Kane is the only notable name this casual fan can pick out among the whole lot.

To be fair they do have a lot of talent, just not enough

I don't know what to expect.

I remember watching their reactions during the loss to Iceland.

According to leaks England will line up like this:

Pickford

Walker-Stones-Maguire

Henderson
Trippier-----Lingard--Dele-----Young

Sterling
Kane​

I am here for 2018 World Cup WB Ashley Young.

I find it funny for a team that is lacking proper CBs to go with a 3 CBs backline. Especially when you force a guy like Walker to play RCB. You have one of the fine RB in the game, and you play him RCB. Also lol if Young is starting.

 

[robertmac43]

I keep looking at the England roster as if I will suddenly like it...but it just is not happening

 

[Nalens Oga]

Young wtf? Is Rashford injured or something? Yikes. And I'd maybe go with Cahill over Stones, he's in better form.

Whatever, I'm gonna eat some vindaloo cos it's coming home.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

It's the year of the underdog... so England takes this one.

I admit, I read that on a journalist twitter account

1-1 with a very late equalizer (eventually credited to Harry Kane)

Yea Rashford was injured. Small injury in training but enough to apparently keep him from starting.

Butland
Walker Cahill Stones Rose
Dier Henderson
Rashford Alli Sterling
Kane

Pickford is England's #1. Doubt we use that formation either. Rashford is not fully fit and Dier-Henderson is a disaster waiting to happen.

I would've started Cahill over Trippier and played Walker at RWB.

Young in there is unsurprising - one hypothesis I heard for why he was even brought in the 23-man squad (extended as to why he's starting) is that this England squad is seriously lacking in set piece takers, and he's a guy who can take corners.

Mate they've got Harry for the corners

Apparently there is a large insect issue at the stadium.

England is the last hope to see a powerhouse dominating their opener

What do you mean ? The pitch is affected or there’s a bunch of mosquitos?
