World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

Most disappointing aspect for me was we did not get to the goal line enough, when we did we looked dangerous. I'll never be able to respect the way Ghana set up, that's not football and hardly likely to promote the game, and I was a defender for over 25 years.

I think you have to take a step back and ask yourself was that a "2 bookings" game of football that we all watched. What happens if the ref had used the laws and handed out 10-12 yellows? What happens if you're one of those players that had committed a professional foul, taken a yellow and are then having an attacker come at you?

FIFA are genuinely too thick to see that the officiating guidelines are a massive reason why we keep being served up with this dross football across the world.
 
I just don't think you are still at a club like Crystal Palace until you're 26 if you're any good.

The thing I don't like about him is he has this 'higher state of consciousness', bordering on aloofness, act going on.

(And I'm happy he didn't end up in N17)

Classic big fish in a small pond. Probably needs to be worshiped. He’s decent and would have probably done well with us. Not playing at the goons and being a sub would hit his ego, rhythm, confidence.
 
I'm sure this will be popular here. When Saka came on Tuchel switched Maduke to the left. This can only mean he's considering him as replacement for Gordon on the left. He's thinking of starting both Saka and Madueke.

He also tested replacing Anderson with Eze.

And people moaned about Southgate.

Starting to look a bit silly not taking Wharton now, could do with a passer in the midfield but we've got to all action box to box players instead and Henderson is more of the same. I wonder if he planned to play Stones in midfield if he was fitter. Doesn't help the wide players haven't delivered anything, Gordon has been really poor. At least Maduke has shown some pace and got into good positions even if he's cut back inside, Gordon didn't even do that.

I think Rashford should start the next game, he's looked up for it both times.
 
Also feels like Embolo has been around for forever, he was hyped up as one of the biggest prospects going 10 years back but hasn't really done much since.
