Worth mentioning Southgate’s choices again worked. First time in our history we’ve won consecutive knockout games is it?

Even if you're talking exclusively about the WC, the fact that we've been to at least one final and 2 semi finals off the top of my head would suggest otherwise.

Also, this is the first knockout round so how can it be considered a "consecutive" knockout game?

Am I missing something or does this post just make no sense?

Yeah I phrased poorly: first time we’ve won knockout games in three consecutive tournaments. I’ve had remarkably little sleep.

I think the stat was that this was the first time we've won knockout games at three consecutive tournaments, rather than three consecutive knockout games.

Many will focus on Walker but I wouldn't be surprised if Mount starts because you can't leave Shaw alone against Dembele.

I can only think back to back tournaments? So winning a knockout game in each tournament

We have done world cup' in 2002 and 2006, 86 and 90, and 62, 66 and 70.

Throw in the euros and it's just 66, 68 and 70

Absolute scumbags. Best wishes to Raheem and his family. Throughout my working life I've seen the devastation of burglaries, I hope they all get through this.

Seems to be a real problem in England, same has happened to two Swedish players. Olsen (Swedish GK) and his family got threatened by machete and Lindelof’s wife and children had to lock themselves in the bathroom when a burglar was taking place. They now have a 24/7 guard service around the house.

Sadly it's been the case for years. Ashley Cole was a victim more than once, John Terry was targeted whilst away skiing, Dele a year or so ago.

It's one of the only professions when you know where someone is on a day to day basis. Part of me is surprised they don't get 24 hour security when they go away on international duty.

Best one was Duncan Ferguson, caught 2 lads robbing his gaff they bottled him, both of them ended up in hospital ?
