benjamin1945 16,118 Posted July 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Certainly exceeded expectations ,, think we have the nucleus of a very good team who will only get better over time,, Southgate is a very good manager far better than i thought he'd be,,future looks good,,they have re kindled my interest in the national side,, even recognise the names now,,as regards the Captaincy always reckon it should be a defender. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Likewise Ben. Maybe Stones, although he had momentary losses of concentration, but I can't see Kane being influential on the field. I too have some faith in the game restored, but it just shows how the influx of foreign players into the English game has nullified our own progress on a worldwide stage. Nearly half of those players in Russia have played in the English leagues. How many have REALLY AND POSITIVELY benefited our game ? Henri, Viaira, Bergkamp, Ronaldo. I'd be struggling to come up with many more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Hard luck Croatia ! Well I wanted them to win, as it's nice to support our teams conquerors. I wonder how many traitorous know alls will be on in the next few minutes, saying that they thought France would win from the start of the competition ! Yeah , unbelievable !
