FIFA World Cup: Qatar 2022

Why did Konaté not start today? Varane isn’t nearly as good any more. Also Kounde looks like he has a mistake in him

Looks a really good player in the making. He would have been an excellent addition. Need to tap into that South American market a bit more.

Rashford benched for Saka :roll_eyes:

Not sure how long you guys have been following football.

There have been hundreds of CBs who won the world cup and collected more league/ CL titles and other trophies. More than Virgil will be able to collect until the end of his career.

CBs who have been on the highest performance level for longer than Virgil could be because he was pretty ‘old’ when he arrived here.

Beckenbauer, Baresi, Cannavaro, Maldini, Nesta, Aldair, Lucio, Hansen, Puyol, Hierro, Chiellini, Blanc, Desailly…

And what about trophy collection of Ferdinand, Terry, Ramos, Pique, Hummels, Boateng…

I am sure other posters will be able to name even more greater CBs.

Would love to see Virgil lift the World Cup but it probably still wouldn’t put him in the Top30 ever.

It does not automatically follow that the “best” CB ever is the one with the most trophies won.

Steady on there!

How funny…Rashford, the better player in the last game, doesn’t start

3-0 win, Sterling unavailable dealing with a family matter.

Aaaaaaand he reverts to type as everyone predicted he would. The chump.

Come on Senegal baby, do it for Africa, do it for yourselves and do it for Liverpool.

So what does? Good looking hair?

So what about this Senegal side? Might they be a bigger test for England than any of Iran, U.S. or Wales? Handled by The Netherlands, beat Qatar (so what) and got a nice win versus a tough Ecuador side.

First three matches the favorite was never in any trouble. Wonder about this match.

But most of the players I’ve mentioned have been great - not just for three years but for a decade.

I’m a critic of him but not sure how Southgate has reverted to type here. He’s playing 4-3-3 with attacking players. Saka can provide the pace. Foden the guile. Hendo will be very important.
