Straight into them tonight, leg breaker on Lionel in the first 5 then they have nothing left.

" No Walkers?"

At the World Cup. Four Chelsea greats together.

JT and Frank are about as well.

I think JT has been at every England game so far.

Spain play like a team. They play like the Borg. Controlled. Spain play Fantastic technical football and France fell into it and tried to be too technical.

IF we can get past Argentina and the officials and the Messi bias, then we could meet this highly technical Spanish team, and we might just be able to get under their skin. Maybe.

Today. Is the day.

Alright - here we go! Expecting more Argentinian fans in Atlanta today than England, but we'll make plenty of noise. So nervous / anxious / excited.

What team does TT go with? You'd like to think James is restored to RB and drop Konsa as Stones looked solid next to Guehi. Rice starts alongside Elliott, and for me, Gordon, Saka, Bellingham and Kane up top.

Media claims Argentina play narrow and have slow full backs - hope they don't suffocate the middle of the pitch or everwhelm Rice and Anderson. This is another reason why James is a good shout as he can tuck in a little if needed.

There will be dancing in the streets of Petroclub if they win tonight.

Come on, this has an Egnatia landslide victory written all over it.

No penalty shootout for this one 😉

Imagine if he has to present the Trophy to Spain.😂 Mind you the spoilt man child will probably call his good friend ""Johnny " to make sure it doesn't happen.

England win 3-1

Reece James hattrick

Sure win for England in that case, if you beat the Arggies.

Kane sent off for diving. (2 yellow cards)

Bellingham sent off for protesting in front of the referee during which the referee goes down clutching his face and rolling around. .

New FIFA rule just for tonight, Argentina to be awarded penalties instead of corner kicks..

I think we will beat Argentina though their last goal concerned me in extra time, one cross and one header and they win, need to make sure our defenders don't get caught upfield.

media suggesting James starts at RB, Rodgers in for madueke and Spence in for Oreilly.

Come on England

The local news interviewing fans last night and this morning you can hear that the Argentine fans are nervous and the English supporters are feeling quietly confident.

Haven’t been this nervous for a match in a hell of a long time.

Praying we do it.

Come on England!

A chance to put things right.

I really think it's different this time, there's a belief and togetherness there...

Unbelievable. VAR has awarded Argentina a penalty already!

Edited July 15Jul 15 by just

Thank God hes finally dropped Madueke, if he started tonight then I wasn't watching it...

This is a win-win for me. If we win, then great, we're in a WC final. If we lose, then I can go back to being cynical about the World Cup, FIFA, Infantino, etc.

How was Enzo not booked for that nasty challenge on Anderson ?

Will I suffer through the BBC commentators or through the Dutch one 🤨

This referee is looking well dodgy already

Hope they kick Enzo all night !

As it's Shearer I'd go Dutch if I were you.
