SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2022/23

Iran's defender was the plane and Iran's goalie the twin tower...

 

Any cunt who chooses to play Mason Mount and Bukayo Sako over Phil Foden should be carted off to the mental asylum.

Fuck me!!!!

 

Foden took a piss this morning that has more talent in it than Mount has.

 

I don't really have an issue with Saka, he's been in good form for the team at the top of the league, hard to argue he hasn't earned his selection. Totally agreed on Mount.

 

Landon Donovan calling the game here. Donovan talks like a downie.

 

Yeah Saka is a beast.

I was referring to Mount.

 

It's an insane decision not to have Foden on the pitch though.

 

Mount should have buried that. FFS.

 

Nice header by the teeny bopper.

 

Nothing the Iranian keeper collided with his center back, breaking his nose. The English Tv crew insinuated that the guy was being forced to play on.

But Jude Bellingham!!!

There's more than enough talent out there to deal with whatever Iran offer.

Later on you might have a point but not just yet.

 

Lovely header.

 

England playing pretty much within themselves. Lots of crosses and wide play. Very familiar......

.....commentators not wasting any time reverting back to calling this the "biggest stage" now one of their pet projects has scored.

 

The World Cup is the biggest stage though, regardless of how farcical the hosts are.

 

Iran really haven't shown anything.....Declan Rice isn't figuring because he doesn't have to. Iran not getting the ball into their front man at all..

 

2-0

Farcical enough defending.

 

Saka!!

 

The standard of fitbaw is fucking dreadful....and im used to sitting through teams like motherwell

 

I absolutely agree that Sako should be playing ahead of Mount. I also maintain that Foden should be the first midfield name on the sheet - the only discussion should be 'who else'?

MTF

 

Good goal

 

Iran look very wifey at the back.

England's modus operandi is established, set pieces and wings .

 

Good finish.

MTF

 

Lol

 

All over. Not even half time. The hype train will get going sharpish with heaps of political stuff thrown in. Tough three weeks ahead.

 

Iran is playing at the level of a USL Championship side.

 

Can't argue with that. Have always said Foden is clearly the most talented player in the entire squad.

 

Iran haven't even had a chance, a shot. Pretty lame.

 

Fuck me, these are dreadful. Good finish again.

MTF

 

Foden has an injury, apparently

 

He's not needed. Simply not required in this context.....when Maguire is offering good bit more going forward than he is offering mistakes at the back, you don't need Foden.

Another corner. This will be 4.
