So, we all agree, Sterling did absolutely bugger all tonight. Anonymous.
For the Marquis De Sade perhaps.The first few pages of this thread are great viewing.
Think we would win either of the knockout games, then it's the proper teams, and to be fair you can't hope/expect easy games at that stage. I'm going for an optimistic semi final appearance based on the positivity needed to be a CCFC fan!
I wasn't too hopeful, because I felt Southgate was the wrong man for the job, but as soon as we got here I fancied our chances.
Haha. I'm pretty much the same. 2 up with a minute left against Sweden and I was explaining to my Mrs how we could still lose this.Being a City fan, I was negative before the tournament. Then I was negative about the group stage. Then I was negative about our quarter final. Then I was negative about our penalty shootout. And now? I'm still negative. I mean, heck. Why change a winning formula!?
Cleaned your grandparents windows today. They told me your missus is flying out to Moscow on Thursday, hope you get to see England in the Final on Sunday, which I'm sure you will. They both look well, and think the world of you, they are good people.Guess what's coming home?

Edited for you, and you are welcome.Saying that, if we make it past Croatia then the likes of Mbappe and Pogba COULD chew this team up.
Not necessarily.Were gonna get spanked by France in the final aren’t we? Not sure how I feel about that.
I think if a player is in a team purely to distract the opposition than you have to question why they cannot do anything else. It's like the special kid in class award or something.
At the start of the tournament people weren't telling me he was in the team to do that and this was what would win me over. They were telling me he would score plenty and assist a lot of goals.
That's not happened so now the goalposts have moved. The obsession with defending him over everything is something I worry will be our teams downfall.
We have been good this tournament, but we have ridden our luck against very average opponents.
Firstly, what 'other people' told or tell you (& I agree his finishing has been dreadful) matters not. Southgate picks him to do a job...& he has taken some bold steps already on picking squads. If RS isn't quite fulfilling his his job...sure Southgate will stick with him. If he is nowhere near doing it...he would drop him. That could upset the balance & dynamics of the team & squad though.
Secondly, they can only beat what is in front of them...& so far they have when it has mattered - something previous squads have so ofte failed to do.
Thirdly, I suspect the obsession is yours. Obsessed with perfection...or covering all your bases so you can say 'told you' - whichever it may be you look for the weakness/negatives even though you want the same outcome as me.
Bet we will all forgive & forget Sterling's shortcomings thus far if he scores the winner in the final. Even if it's a simple tap-in

Not what I asked was itHe should have been dropped after game #1.
I'm stroking wood and touching a lucky rabbits foot.This World Cup has a special story, yet to be written, for Raheem Sterling.
I've just got a feeling he will do something special either tonight or Sunday. (touches wood and strokes lucky rabbits foot)
It's probably in Neymar's contract that if a team mate wins the Balon d'Or they have to give it to him.If you base it on last night the winners of both Saturday and Sunday’s games will come from our semi. It’s not that simple though. All 4 teams left are capable of destroying any side on their day. A prediction I will make is if Kane, Mbappe or Modric score and their team wins the final they’ll win the Balon d‘Or.

Wish Rio Ferdinand would button his lip though.I'm thinking England 3-2 win in extra time.
The Croats will be cramping up something rotten after 100 mins.

Said this morning that we have nothing to fear from Croatia and should beat them comfortably.
How many 'comfortable' matches have their been in this tournament exactly?
Could well prove to be a tight and close encounter. I am certainly not expecting us to win comfortably!
