He's pish. Scores goals because he's a tall, strong brute, but his football ability is in the negatives. He's just lucky he's an athletic monster.

No he doesn't.
His team mates laying chances on a plate for him wins games. He's just the finisher (and he misses a lot anyway). Plus, it is fucking Moldova.
Learn to think in a less rudimentary fashion about football.

Yes, I am smarter than you and more knowledgeable than you, and most others on here.
That's why I tend to be right about football and most on here tend to get it very wrong.

You'd be surprised, I know a fair amount about the history of the game from reading and research. I probably know players you have never heard of, especially from the early part of the 20th century.
Anyway, time to go to bed for tournament tomorrow. Nighty night.
Outstanding performance by England under Tuchel at last. Serbia rarely get beat at home, never mind smashed. And it was without some big players, Bellingham, Saka, Palmer...
One thing England have lacked in recent tournaments is a midfield that has balance. Anderson is a godsend. And Wharton will add to that if he can actually stay fit.

When i saw Ruben Neves in defence i knew we will concede at least 2 goals + Dias has been crap too

England with over 4xg vs Serbia. England fans calling their team 'Free lions' .
I feel they will be a big danger in that World cup.
Spain, England, France. - 3 teams i would like to avoid !

I think vs Spain and England, Portugal will be fine.
France seems to be Portugal's bogeyteam I feel like.
I do want to see Portugal against physical strong sides like Ecuador and Colombia.

I think Spain is a level above Portugal, yeah we beat them but dont forget until the stupid subs they were clearly better than us. Also Mendes was in absolute beast form.
Tbh, i think we can beat France. In EURO we would have beaten them if the bald fraud would have used Neto as sub instead of Felix.
I think physical strong sides who parks the bus wil be our downfall

Squeaky bum time for Cape Verde - they drew today 3-3 so go into final matchday with Cameroon just two points behind them. A win would have confirmed qualification.
Good news is Cape Verde play Eswatini at home, who are bottom of the section with only three points and zero wins. Cameroon are at home to Angola.
If CV draw and Cameroon win, Cameroon qualify. It's head to head that's the tiebreaker, not goal difference, though Cameroon lead on both anyway.
Surely Cape Verde will not mess this up.

never heard of Eswatini,its actually Swaziland,saw it now.
Ilian Reijnders just replaced Beckham for the Indonesian national team against Saudi Arabia.
To answer the question, yes, Ilian is the younger brother of Man City's Martin Reijnders.
To answer the other question, no, Beckham has no relation to David Beckham other than being named after him because his dad loved the long range goal against Wimbledon (true story).
Beckham has another brother who is also a professional footballer in Indonesia whose name is... Gian Zola. Yes, named after Gianfranco Zola.
I'm getting the image that his dad must have really loved 90s Premier League.
There is a third brother who sadly never made it as a football. I can't find his name but following the theme it is probably Ali Dia.
