| 62. Author: BlackLight Date: Sun 14th Jun 2026. 05:19 I thought a lot of the players played the ref really well. It`s not as exciting as other aspects of the game, but I feel like refs are really significant in tournaments and we`ve got a few players that can win free kicks in dangerous positions. Reply |
| 63. Author: d3monstrate Date: Sun 14th Jun 2026. 08:21 This was the real pressure game. Sneaked the win, gives a false sense of security to Brazil and Morocco... I would like to think we would be a bit more organised defensively against the other two, and no expectation to get anything after watching them play might suit us better... Onwards... Reply |
| 64. Author: Bucuresti Par Date: Sun 14th Jun 2026. 08:49 An important win, poor performance (especially second half). Hopefully that releases some pressure and we might be better suited to counter attacking against Brazil and Morocco. That said, the fear is we sit deep and our timid in our pressing and we get picked apart easily by high quality teams, like the Germans did to use at the Euros. It was really easy for Haiti to get the ball deep in to our half with how narrow we were, they didn`t need to work hard or take any risks to pin us back. Surely 5 in midfield for the next 2 games, but there has to be more aggression to press the ball a bit higher and there has to be more courage, directness and forward thinking in possession. We looked decent in the first 30 minutes at times when we played the ball forward at some pace, give it a try! Reply |
| 65. Author: Jeffery Date: Sun 14th Jun 2026. 09:43 It was a tough watch. Some top level players making really basic passing errors. That pass completion stat is a shocker at this level. Haiti had the better of it and will be disappointed not to take something from the game. They`ll be disappointed by their final ball. Pleased to take something from it but things need to improve massively to have a hope of getting anything out of the next two. I`m not convinced just having 3 points will be enough. Reply |
| 66. Author: neilholland999 Date: Sun 14th Jun 2026. 10:10 A fantastic result, but I agree - a lot of our attacking players were really off it. I`m not a massive fan of his, bit I thought Hanley had a great game at the back. Reply |
| 67. Author: Buster_Brown Date: Sun 14th Jun 2026. 10:32 Agree about Hanley, thought he was 1 of a handful of players that got pass marks. My head is saying “a win is a win” and I’m happy, but we know moving forward that we are going to have to be so much better. Loving You, Is In My DNA 🇾🇪 Reply |
| 68. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Sun 14th Jun 2026. 10:34 Alot of pressure on the players after 28 years out of the competition, but also to win the game. There are no easy teams at this level. The players got the victory and handled the pressure. Sometimes you can only play as well as the other side lets you. A demonstration of an outstanding level of professionalism both mentally and technically. G Wardrope Post Edited (Sun 14 Jun 11:27) Reply |
| 69. Author: wee eck Date: Sun 14th Jun 2026. 11:08 Imagine the reaction if we`d played well and lost! The fans who`d paid to be there seemed to think they`d got their money`s worth. Reply |

| 71. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Sun 14th Jun 2026. 11:41 wee eck, Sun 14 Jun 11:08 If I ever came off the pitch having lost, but played well, it was easier to take.  It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Post Edited (Sun 14 Jun 11:41) Reply |

| 73. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Sun 14th Jun 2026. 11:51 The cup final is a good example of my thoughts on football. Had we played as we had done in the first half for the remainder of the game, I would have been angry and disappointed. We made a fist of it in the second half and played well. We still lost, but I left the game knowing the better team had won, but we had given a good account of ourselves. We view the game differently, wee eck, and that’s fine It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Post Edited (Sun 14 Jun 11:59) Reply |
