Tempted to stick some cash on Tunisia here. 10-1 to win is a gross undervaluation and utterly ignores England's pitiful showing at tournament finals.
EDIT - odds shortened since I checked yesterday, more like 7-1 now. Reckon 5-1 when it kicks off.

Re: England v Tunisia Match thread ~ Group G
But England very rarely lose group matches, especially to “lesser” teams. Uncanny habit of drawing games they should win, but not losing them so much.

Re: England v Tunisia Match thread ~ Group G
I think Italy and Uruguay in 2014 were much stronger than the current Tunisia side. I'm trying to think of a group stage defeat England have suffered to a side of Tunisia's relative quality. Portugal in 86?

This side is littered with mentally weak players. Kane's efforts to talk himself up are going to backfire, horribly.

Re: England v Tunisia Match thread ~ Group G
I'm torn between wanting England to win and never wanting to see a Tottenham player lift it as captian...
Also Dele Alli probably tips it over the edge in not wanting us to win. Genuinely conflicted as I feel there is half a chance at going the whole way

Re: England v Tunisia Match thread ~ Group G
With Argentina, Brazil, Germany and Spain failing to win their opening matches, and Italy and the Netherlands absent, this has got to be the best chance England have had of winning a major tournament since 1970. I would view anything less than reaching the final as a major failure and I'm amazed the national press are not setting expectations higher.

Lingard is a good player, I can’t see why he gets a load of criticism sometimes.somerset-hammer wrote:Lingard and Young starting.

Ashley Young works in this system, he’s probably edged it ahead of Rose

Re: #14 England v Tunisia Match thread ~ Group G
I like those training tops England have. That would have been a nice kit.
Kind of a shame that England only have 2k supporters at the match compared to Tunisia's 10K. What's happened there? People priced out?

Was actually a very interesting, if depressing, documentary. Watch the whole thing on iPlayer some time.BillUp wrote:BBC interviewing ex England managers. They are interviewing Hippo Head. Are they having a laugh? :lol:
