Ian Bennett in The 2026 World Cup - Day 25

Still not enough attacking threat at all.rnrnStill just got two strikers who basically aren\'t fit for purpose in the duration of it and looking at the wider picture, if we are happy to finish 13th again go for it.rnrnStill got zero pace in the fullback berths and the central defence lacks pace, we are all just hoping and praying that Branthwaite somehow stays injury free....

That was no good for the blood pressure! Battling performance with smatterings of real class. Saka looks a shadow of what he can be when full of confidence but put kept it simple and put in a brilliant cross for the first goal. Quansah’s technique for the sending off was diabolical for what should have been a pretty routine sliding challenge. Thought JP was trying to coax Jimenez into going the way he did for the penalty but then gave himself too much ground to make up. Glad he’s getting so much support from the pundits for this game. To go all the way is going to require a lot more 100% full blooded effort as the route is looking to be exceptionally difficult. This squad looks like it might have enough with the required mentality to make that happen....

I can't see England losing to Norway. Tonight was the match more likely to be lost. Likelihood of an Argentina semi-final and France/Spain semi? What a gormless twat Darren. Get some zzzzzzz mate,...
