Looked like a potential foul in the box on the Serbia player, no VAR?

Mitrovic is a decent striker. Surprised he hasn't done better in England.

EDIT: Yes, apart from some misses. But over a season he should be able to put at least 10 away.

Mitrovic fucked up and fell through no one's fault but his own, plus bad marking.

Brazil through then.

If Serbia had Kane they would go deep in the World Cup

Agreed. If the Brazilian defence is struggling with Mitrovic then they aren't going to cope with Kane.

A few teams will exploit england at the back. Too many gaps. Belgium will be an interesting game to see where we are vs stronger sides.

But I agree for the most part. Nothing to really fear.

Think Spain would carve us open personally. No way Maguire, Stones and Walker can cope with their passing.

Imagine if Yugoslavia never broke up. They would have a ridiculously good squad.

They aren't that great at the back either. So would be an interesting contest.

But Croatia might manage to beat Spain and we all know how Harry Kane vs Dejan Lovren ends.
