Doc0075: Pfft, who needs those three when you have Troy Deeney and Andre Gray up front :/
I actually quite like Deeney, good honest worker!

mk47at: The referee's performance is abysmal.

Edit: Examples: Rebic and Lovren not sent off. Perisic's goal was dangerous play.
Nah mate none of it was dangerous play, England just stopped playing in the second half. The challenge of playing a flat midfield always leaves the chance of being canceled out by a more robust midfield. The lack of yellow cards was odd though

mk47at: Nah, broh. Or would you prefer nah, boyo?

Obviously a move that could easily cause a spinal injury (leading to death or permanent paralysis) is okay if the other team stops playing! You cannot kick the ball/the air behind someone's head.

The change in the rules to cancel yellow cards after the semi-final was a bad move, but that's another topic.
I think we might have watched different matches. I didn't see any Mortal Kombat like you described :P

BranjoHello: Shall we start with predictions? :)

I believe that on this day Belgium squad will say to themselves "Well, since we can't be first like we should have been, let's at least play like there's no tomorrow and secure the third plce".
England squad on the other hand are still drowning their sorrow in heavy liquor and Mr. Southgate will probably come the the stadium with his waistcoat fully unbuttoned (which will result in waistcoat being on sale -75% all over England for the next month or so).

Belgium - England
4:1
Marks & Spencers never reduce their menswear to 75%, I should know, I worked there!


But honestly, i don't expect much for a silly 3rd place playoff when club preseason is starting. No one wants to get injured.

tinyE: So I'm watching the pregame, and so far it;s everyone who has ever played in a 3rd place game admitting that when they did, they phoned it in, and yet this year it's going to be different.

Why am I supposed to believe this?
Because some companies paid for the TV rights e.g. don't believe them ;)
Shame a good world cup ended with such a bad showing of how to ref a game :/
