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

[Brazilian Villain]

Not sure what people are expecting. Ghana are good enough not to be parking the bus, yet they are. That's always going to make for a shit game.

Southgate's England would be at least 2-0 up by now.

[PaulWinch again]

Not sure what people are expecting. Ghana are good enough not to be parking the bus, yet they are. That's always going to make for a shit game. Spain, Portugal, and others have faced much the same and looked uninspired.

Yes it’s a Querioz team.

[Beard82]

Think the wide players need to do more

Also - pretty sure thats was a yellow

[PaulWinch again]

Konsa to the rescue.

[paul_e]

What is Rice complaining about, that's a clear yellow? And Shearer is talking bollocks on comms as well.

[pauliewalnuts]

It’s a bit like watching us this season in that ropey period where we had plenty of the ball but never looked like scoring.

Am sure we’ll pull through here, it’s just tough viewing.

[Dogtanian]

Yeah definitely a yellow for me.

[Somniloquism]

I think that was Shearer's argument when he stamped on Lennon, he had every right to go for the ball and was slightly late.

[Jane]

Shearer always seems to start talking bollocks when England play.

[SamTheMouse]

Ghana have decided to play a bit. Should improve the quality.

[Somniloquism]

Konsa showing why McNulty was right about him being a weak link...

[PeterWithesShin]

James always worries me defensively.

[garyellis]

Our two wide forwards on the bench are much better than what are in the starting line up.n

[olaftab]

There was lot of crap said and written in the media this week after England fluked it against an ageing Croatia

[wolfman999]

On this showing, it's sure as fuck not coming home.
