It's that time again.
Fair play on the qualification record.
Now the big games that count start.
I reckon fail at the Group stage again.

The England team is very a much of a muchness. Apart from Kane Walker Sterling you can pretty much throw anyone in there from a group of 30.
I think they keep trying to emulate teams like Spain but they don't have the players or techique the Spanish players do and then ultimately they don't do anything because when they play against better teams or ones with a good game plan fall short.
The reason they do so well in qualifying i's they can get away with it as do have good enough players.
Their strength is pace they should be playing more like Leicester a few years ago but they won't as it unfashionable. Hitting teams on counter attack with players like sterling Rashford and vardy.
I think they’ll do well too. Very exciting up front.
Ra Ra Rasputin England's getting knocked out of the world cup again.
Draw with Tunisia, beat Panama and lose to Belgium is my prediction, out in the second round
His scoring record everywhere wasn’t what It should have been until this season. But he’s improved his finishing and decision making so much. Ridiculous number of goals and assists this season.
He’s always been a quality player, people forget how young he is and that his all round game wasn’t perfected yet. He needed a decent coach to polish him a bit.

By the way I was kind of agreeing with you initially sev but CB is right.
I do think though (without checking any stats) that Sterling needs a lot of chances to score his goals so I don't expect his ratio to drastically improve after this WC.
I think they will qualify from the group .
When he missed that chance all I could think about was this thread
Stirling is a quality player. I can't believe people are comparing him to Simon church and hal Robson kanu. Can you imagine either of those in that man city side, they would stick out like sludge in a convent.
He's not been scoring many, but his pace is electric and really gives them an option. Will be a lot more effective against teams that defend a bit higher up the pitch.
I think he's going to be a top class player, his stats for last season were amazing. He was frustrating last night but still managed to get in a lot of good positions, he seems to get more stick from the media than any other england player too.
I don't really understand the stick. He's not outspoken, he hasn't said many controversial comments. He seems a decent enough guy in his interviews, not cocky. I don't think it's racism either, as is sometimes said, because by now there have been more than enough black players for England who get by without the attention.
I just don't get it.
I think there is a slight racsim element to it and a slight classism element to it, he's a first generation immigrant who came from nothing and it now earning millions and the sun who are the main culprits of this know it will wind up their readership and get clicks and comments.
