      JH is very underrated b y football fans. There is still a section of Liverpool fans that hats him. Though he is slowly winning most over. He is very good at picking out a through ball, and injecting some pace into the game when needed.

      Oir front 3 get all the credit, but someone had to set most of the moves off. His issue is, he doesn’t make a good Match of the day player, so opposition fans don’t get to see what he does. Same issue with Bobby firminio. He quietly goes about his business enabling all around him.

      England first half was good, fast and dynamic. Very unlucky in front of goal. Lingard should of had about 4. Though I can’t pan a play that keeps getting in the positions. That 90% of the hard work done. Second half we tired. I did like Loftus cheek, he rolled his player like a boss in one instance, and he really helped us pushing forward. Though the pundits said they didn’t see why he come on.!!!

      Rashford… Why didnt he hit that ball?

      Good to see kane get two, should set him up well.

      The game did peter out, but I did enjoy the majority of it. A first for many years for me and England.

      I thought the 6 games over the last two days was very good. I sent my youngest to her Nan’s over the weekend, the others was in work, and I done naff all but watch footy. Before the WC, given the 11 time zones, I was worried the games would be all over the place. However, it’s been on of the best timed events I can remember in a good while.

      Did you see the mozzies and the amount of spray every one was applying. That’s what you get building on wet land, and paying at dusk.

      Also, Putin had done well, scaring the hooligans off the streets. There is up sides to an dictatorship. Apparently he sent out the FSB to threaten the local mafias, to keep the peace in their cities. Basically they have been told, if they can’t behave F-off out the country for a months, or else…

      There is something I quite like about that. Even though I shouldn’t.

          Parcels to go, is one I’ve used before. Probably 10 years ago now. I couldn’t remember the name. So just Google for comparison sites.

          I sent a gpu to Portugal, can’t recall which carrier I chose. Put used P2go, on the recommendation from on MM site. I’m sure the P2go site back then was pale blue and yellow. Far more cartoonie than it appears today.

          I imaging they are all scraping the same data, so in theory the prices from differing comparison site should be the same. But I’d defo check a few just to make sure.

          Though Id bet if there is a difference it will be minimal. Which is not an issue for one off packages.

            Your assumption seems correct. For a pc(or any large item) I’d pay the extra for home pick up

                  Lee, France and Argentina was both poor. Same old first game fears. may be these next two ‘lesser’ games may spark.

                    The kop has a tradition of always clapping away keepers when they aproch the goal, and to applaud good performances, (but I doubt that’s only a kop thing).

                    I fear for karius, there is many that would rather he was hung from the crossbar, than play in net for us. Alot reckon the Dr that diagnosed the concussion if false, cos there is links between the hospital and the club.

                    I can’t see it myself, but many don’t buy the diagnosis. If I was him the day after the game I’d of been on the phone to my agent, telling him to get me out of here.

                    Sadly for karius, both out other two keepers are departing this summer, so I can’t see him being allowed to leave.

                    The main issue with him is, no matter how good he plays, every mistake will be micro analysed now. He will never shake the cock up of Kiev, as long as he is at Liverpool.

                    I think for his own career he should seek to rebuild it elsewhere. Saying all that I’d love him to still be no1 and banish the demons.

                      Lol, I just jest. Just shows they can all make huge mistakes. If that was our guy all the lfc fan base would want him shot. But when your rated one or two, it’s just one of them. We have it with VVD atm. When he makes a mistake, no one moans, but when his partner does, he gets dogs abuse.

                      That’s the best bit about being rated in the top group, your allowed to make a mistake, as they (and the fans) know, you can’t go out an get better.

                      As much as our lad messed up, I still want him to stay. I’d love a 80mil keeper, but I still think there is a great keeper in karius. I’m probably wrong. But the football romantic in me, wants him to come good.

                      Tbh that match wasn’t that bad. 1-1 even with mo going off would of been a fair result. Which is what it was when you take out our keepers howlers. And they still needed a wonder goal.

                      We had them if mo stayed on. No hard feelings to Ramos either, I love a payer with needle. If I was him I’d of kicked mo off the pitch too. And no one does it better than Ramos. Really skirts that like, and uses all the dark arts.

                      As soon as mo went off, it meant he could push on with no regard, and we dropped 20 yards. Strangely I was over the game with half a pint.

                        I was caout out years ago helping on a friend’s roof, so I grabbed myself a dickies black box style coat for, £40, still have it and it’s lasted many winters of dog walking.pronaly the best coat I’ve owned.

                        And I’ve had a fair few of top end burghaus’s I’ve managed to out grow. Currently have 3. But I’ll still grab the dickies one more often than not. Even though one of the burgs I bought is the identical shape as the dickies. It seems to fit better.

                        To be fair to BH they are designed for differnt purposes. I love my paklight, but it’s just a glorified wind stopper. That folds up to fit in your pocket. My older burg the velcro went on the cuffes after 10 plus years and the box jacket, just isn’t what BH do. So that’s a bit of a fail. My mera peak I loved, as did my lad once I out grew it. As did my second one!

                        I had a pair of dickies jeans that looked sort of trouser cut in the late 90s, they was expensive, but I soon out gew them. No they was dockers. Scrap that. Bought them and a pair of rock port, just so I could stay out on The ale! Still have the rock port. And a pair I’d got two years earlier. Both way over 20 years. And look new. (well one pair is fill of paint. But would polish up.

                          As I don’t have dB on my phone, the link wasn’t working well on my phone, so I nipped into your post to see if it had a mistake, noticed it was a bd link, installed dB, and it worked. But in a strange way.

                          I have no idea what I just watched John. Though the backing music kept me till the end, (took me back to mid 90s, also I’ve never seen the scrolling squares with the user pictures before.

                            Nice game. I love Costas first goal. Though there wasn’t a bad one. Not a bad finish form the CB Nacho too lol.

                            I thought iniesta really slowed Spain down at times, shown his age. But still some forward balls from him.

                            Portugal looked poor going forward, old Ronny was quite annoyed a few times. For an old chap he isn’t half bad. (still don’t like him). But with out him, Portugal would have nothing to offer.

                            What about that loser of a keeper ?

                              I bet if I looked like a druggie or a tramp (some would say I border on the latter), we would of been stopped every time one went off.

                              I bet there is many people, Especially good looking women, that make a good living out of shop lifting.

                              I neither look good or am a female, so I’ll stick to my current set up.

                                    Got my girl a river island coat for her birthday last year, while she was in the dressing room trying on far too many coats, she pocked a discarded security tag.

                                    She set off evey alarm we walked though for a month. It wasn’t until I washed it that we found it, and all them alarms made sense.

                                    It does show up one flaw in the system, we never got stopped once. Always just waved through.

                                      Given this was always going to be Egypts hardest game, it seems the ‘mo will be playing’ was just mind games.

                                      Though I can’t help but think, it would of been better played against Saudi.

                                      I thought come 35mins in the Egyptians looks spent. Their organisation almost got them through. I lt looks like they have don’t next to zero offensive practice, so I can’t see them scoring any if they don’t get mo on.

                                      I don’t really want him coming on tbh, one hit and he could be out till Xmas. Very selfish of me, as I do what him to have his WC, but at the end of the day, I’d rather Liverpool do well.

                                      This next game is slightly better, but I need to go out now if I want to catch the Spain Portugal game.

                                        This is the typical 1st game performance  of not wanting to lose their first game. Well see alot more of these over the first week of games.

                                        Hopefully Spain Portugal will be more intense.
