Sterling had an armed break in at his home when his family were present.

Ah yes I see that now I have caught up. Was busy all through yesterday. Hopefully his family are ok.

Nobody at home.

Did they ever catch the c**ts that robbed James' home and stole his CL medal?

Cowardly pricks taking advantage knowing full well they'd be gone. 

Ming The Merciless has just scored for Japan. 

Totally deserved. If Modric is off his game Croatia don't function as a unit.

During the robbery? What a relief that must have been, especially after what happened to Aubameyang and his family.

It's a burglary not a robbery. Still horrible, but not as bad as a robbery or aggravated burglary.

Kovacic off for some rest, thankfully.

Possible, but again, I don't like the idea of players playing out of position. Even Mount. He's even expressed recently he's best as a #8, and playing out of position this whole time has stalled his development imo. 

Far as I'm concerned we play Mount at winger to help our midfield. Fix the midfield I don't see the need anymore. Rotate himself and Nkunku at CAM. 

Hmm nope you play Mount as "winger" because you don't want to play 4 fw up high and we also want utilize our attacking fb. Mount won't stay wide as he will drift middle more like a 8 and allow one of the fb to go fw more. 

You focus too much on offense. It is easy to move player around on offense. The bigger problem is can chelsea  defend in 4231/442 shape, I have major doubt.

We are arguing the same thing. 

Croatia have been meh. Would've easily been on their way home by now had it not been for the misses of Lukaku and defending of Gvardiol(including this game). Really want to see Japan progress. 

Probably the worst penalty kicks you'll ever see in a long time. So feeble. One thing to go for power and miss but these Japanese players looked afraid to beat the goalkeeper.

All keepers should watch the Croatian keeper and his technique for stopping penalties. It is absolutely perfect. He waits till the last second and then he dives to One Direction, but forwardly kind of at a 45° angle.

it is beyond perfect technique.

I was just thinking we should send Mendy to him for some lessons.

Really pleased Japan are out because of their bloody fans singing one song (like West Ham who have a repertoire of one) for 90 minutes and banging a drum. Whoever thought drums in football ground is a good idea is a massive twat.

Did anyone else hear that ? What Lineker said to Rio about Chelsea ?

It wasnt all the keeper it was the rubbish pens as well, rule #1 when taking a penalty - take the keeper out of the equation. 

I laughed with Lineker a minute ago

Lineker asks about penalties

Rio - Its the walk up that kills you.

Linkeker - When did you take penalties?

Rio - Ah? Urrrgh,,,,,,,, Community Shield

Everyone laughs

Rio said something about being on his travels looking at players, and Lineker interrupted and said "for Chelsea" and they both sort of grinned and chuckled quickly and moved on.

 

 

Is Ferdinand doing a job for Todd looking for the next big name defender to replace Thiago. ?

We used to sing about the QPR drum back in 60/70s

Something about " As for the Rangers your time has come, we are the Chelsea coming to take your drum " 

No surprises Brazil are rampant. Keep it up guys and get Silva that winners medal.
