Other Games - 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup Edition (+ warm-up matches): Villa-watch

[SamTheMouse]

England's crossing is atrocious. Don't they practise it?

[TonyD]

Where are Rogers and Bellingham supposed to be playing?

And O’Reilly. 

[paul_e]

The biggest problem here is players taking too many touches, Saka in particular is holding on to it far too long.

[aj2k77]

The team look a mess.

[Ian.]

I’m sure we’ve had about 200 corners in the last two games and haven’t looked liked scoring. We never try anything but swinging it in.

[TonyD]

Considering the whole set is to get service to Kane.
It ain’t working.

[Toronto Villa]

In the current overly inflated transfer market the majority of the England players would command a fee in the region of £100M. For £100M you could buy the entire Panama squad for that and have money left over to buy Curaçao.

[Somniloquism]

Rogers seems to be centre right, not sure of Bellingham. Seems to be where-ever he wants which means he normally gets in the way of others.

Saka's "computer brain" there where Rashford told him to go forward as he had the ball and Saka just continued to come and stand a metre away from him.

That’s not good, I know, it always makes me late for work

[Somniloquism]

So that was long-winded way of saying nothing has happened in this match from the commentator then.

Stick a centre back out there and that's what you get. This is clueless to the level of Capello in 2010. Playing one midfielder and last man back tactics.

[devilla]

Decent effort.

[Dogtanian]

The hydration break is in the top 3 first half highlights, I think.

[Steve67]

I hate Saka, will do loads of shit stuff, like tonight, but always gets over the top praise for the one thing per game that he does well with.  Been shite tonight so far.

[Brazilian Villain]

Pickford was a bit dozy there.
