Every team needs an element of luck,

We were lucky to win last night, will luck get us past the Argies?

Luck / mistake is what separates teams at this level.

On a football coaching course, the instructor opened with "football is a messy game, and full of mistakes".

It's coming home and that is final.

You definitely make your own luck.

Mental attitude is 100% important, a crowd behind the team is all important, the fans like us should enjoy the ride, the world cup is a massive event to be enjoyed.

There will be twice as many Argentinians in and around the ground, making lots of noise.
Mental attitude is key. We also have a younger and hopefully a fitter team.
Our defence need to be our key.
Kane and Billingham will be more effective.

The most luck we will need is going to be against France. Now that is gong to be a tough cookie and although myy prediction has always been France to win. At the moment to say England could beat France is more said in hope,

Lets deal with Argentina first, then worry about France or Spain.

Both teams are equally capable of beating each other. Either of those two are equally hard to beat.

Many years ago.

Only a very rudimentary one.

Don't ask me anything about tactics, or how to beat a low block........

I think we have more chance against Spain. Interestingly, I am sure Thierry Henry said he'd prefer to face Argentina rather than us.

Sounds like me. I see the basics.

I often wonder what these punits see sometimes or is it that they just try to sound interesting.
