The Senegal game is a proper banana skin and we need to be on our toes for that one ... going to be hard and I am going for a 2-1 win, perhaps a bit of drama with Senegal taking the lead
.. I think Kane will start scoring and fancy him to get both later in the second half if I am right.
Though I am perfectly happy if he remains to fire them assists and someone else gets on the end of them!
I now think England are perfectly capable of winning this WC. I didn't think I would feel this confident at all a few weeks back, come to the knockouts. Some of the group games have been ridiculous. Though the surprises have been nice for entertainment value. Belgium and Germany looking so miserable
.. Belgium 2nd best in world?? Give over .. I would never have the likes of Lukaku near our team
This tourny is wide-open and England can win it. It is just down to whether they truly want it in the head now ... hopefully, the final loss vs Italy has given them the experience they need to see games out when they matter.
If we come up against Spain, I hope they have that lad in goal who played earlier
. Good grief, he was awful and some of the playing out was so panicky, we would destroy them if they turned up like that vs the likes of what we have up top.
I would be so proud if Sir Gareth brings home a WC ... something very rare you don't get to see unless you're lucky ... they don't come around often. Would be a wonderful bit of a lift while so much of the country is otherwise beaten into the ground, in such misery under multiple crises.
The players are good enough to do it.
