I kinda hope we do mate. I find it very difficult to get behind the likes of Alli, Vardy and Walker.
Who will knock England out of the world cup?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

I've actually warmed to Walker a bit since watching that Jack Whitehall show where it turns out he has a funny Yorkshire accent.
You forgot Dier and Henderson! *Shudder*
No one. I have a feeling England will win World Cup.
It was 100% tongue in cheek. Something a bit different but more familiar at the same time.
I would rather see rashford score the winner in the final than Suarez.
England.
We'll finish third in the group.
Yeah, they're beating Brazil or Germany, Jesse Lingard to score the winner
Well knock ourselves out from the group stage. We'll draw twice and lose against Belgium. Heard it here first. Also, Jones will probably hurt himself or some else in training.
Harry Kane is a big football icon imo.
He just does not crave idol status but in every way, he has proven to be a very good player. If he's flamboyant, he would almost be as famous as Steven G now.

QF’s I think Brazil or Germany should beat England. Nothing wrong with losing to either would be embarrassing if they didn’t get there.
The most English way possible. Last game in the 1st round with a 3rd place finish on GD because of a late own goal.
Colombia.
Germany.
Tunisia in the group stage.
The first team they meet in the knock-out stages.
Belgium
I stopped expecting anything from England some time in the early 00s. At least we are at the party though.
Columbia or Germany
Think we'll get to the quarters and lose to Brazil/Germany pretty handily.
My prediction too. Which will be a good performance, we are at that level.
Who are Ireland, Wales and Scotland going to get knocked out by?
Oh...
Oh...
Germany - on penalties, of course.
John Stones probably.
Senegal.
hmm Brazil in quarters I guess.
We'll come up short against any of the big boys. We've no chance if we meet Brazil or Germany so progressing further from any of those games is highly unlikely.
They'll come second in their group to Belgium. Then they'll do surprisingly well against Colombia in the round of 16, getting the win, and people will start to get on the England hype train.
Then they'll face Germany in the quarter finals, and they'll either get smashed 4-0, or they'll choke a second half lead and eventually end up losing to Germany in penalties.

I’d say a few of the overhyped players will be found out. It’s really a poor poor squad as I’ve seen from England. Midfield is just dreadful Henderson Alli Lingard couldn’t keep the ball between them. Plus would you bet on Stones Walker or Cahill not to make mistakes? Why Smalling is not going is mental he’s one of our best defenders and been much better than Jones the last few seasons (who cannot keep fit either).
No, we're England.
No-one because we're going to win it.
Defender's own goals
Fabinho
We'll go out in the group stage.
Depends who Southgate decides to use in goal - after all it is almost a tradition to have a goalkeeper messing up in a tournament
Anything past group stage will be a bonus.
Poland in the last 16.
v Tunisia 0-0
v Panama 1-0
v Belgium 1-2
v Poland 1-2
v Tunisia 0-0
v Panama 1-0
v Belgium 1-2
v Poland 1-2
I wouldn't actually be all that surprised if England end the group stage with only two points from draws with Tunisia and Panama. I think an awful lot rests on Kane's shoulders, if he can score the goals to push England on a bit further, if not they might struggle. If England can get anything from the Belgium game it will be a bonus.
Southgate is way out of his depth most likely in this environment and I doubt he really knows his players that well. I also think his total snub of Smalling was a bit ridiculous, calling in Nathaniel Chalobah's younger brother to train with the squad shows just how far Mike is out in the cold. The word in the media is Jamaal Lascelles would be next in line for the standy place after Tarkowski's withdrawal if anyone else was called in.
Different situation, but Smalling must feel the way Ferdinand did at Euro 2012, knowing that no matter what or how many defenders were injured, he wouldn't be going under any circumstances. Smalling isn't the best CB in the world or anything like that but he deserves his place.

Thanks. But they will probably win Tunisia and Panama, 1-0 result, with some silly kinda of a goal, (Karius anybody) only to draw with Belgium, but will end up second, GD. Whole England will be praising them and calling it: "WC winners" only to get disappointed after Poland smashes them.
