Argentina have definitely brought them game in a lot, you don’t beat New Zealand, England, Australia, and Scotland twice without having elevated your game. Japan game masked a lot about Englands lack of speed and creativity in the back line against top level defences (think the Smith and Farrell combo still isn’t working, smith doesn’t seem confident enough to operate for England at 10 without a lot off space which we had in the last 10mins against New Zealand, and although Farrell is kicking and leading well, he offers no run threat at 12 and slows the game around him down to the detriment of Manu), plus Eddie is still only picking more experienced players May and Nowell who are getting slower and hasn’t brought through any younger wingers outside of Freddie Steward. It’s a bit better news with our forwards although they have been giving more technical penalties away recently and the jackling and turnover ball we were so good at in the last World Cup seems to have regressed. The starting  front row have been very good and lock position we have sorted as well as some good replacements. Just need sort the 6,7,8 positions, which I think on that score our best bet would be Lawes at 6, Curry at 7 and either Dombrant or Simmonds at 8.

100% agree mate. England seemed to give a lot of people delusions of winning the World Cup with that first game against a bad team, making them forget the fact we got relegated from the nations League competition because we played exactly like last night for six games against good opponents. The US played well but we seemed to have no idea what to do and defaulted to passing it backwards and defending as deep as possible to not lose. To cap it all, if wales do go nuclear and beat us soundly we could go out to them and either the US or Iran, the very team we beat 6-2.

Like @Tar-Eruntalion above and as most of you know I gave up on football a long time ago but have plenty of friends that do watch and by the sounds of it they were all majorly disappointed etc but if people are being honest isn't that exactly how the England team always are? They get built up people have some kind of faith in them then they show that they are nothing more than mid tier at best? Surely Southgate can't survive after this world cup?

Absolutely dismal performance from England tonight - lethargic, predictable, created little and a real lack of effort. Shades of Algeria in 2010. Having to resort to bringing on Henderson is just embarrassing really and the likes of Foden are wasted on the bench. The lack of a press and always going backwards just stifled any progression and allowed the US to comfortably maintain their shape.
 
Wales will be going for the nuclear option and we will be under even more pressure when we could’ve easily secured group winners tonight. Never make it easy for ourselves but tonight was especially alarming.

So just clocked this on YouTube. I know it’s a great game but a bit disappointed they haven’t tried to create a new story arc.

Argentina played well and we looked slow as fuck and like we had no idea how to attack from open play. The game against Japan just got a lot more interesting for england, especially as we’ll probably lose to New Zealand and South Africa.

Yup, we've been watching them on FloSports on Saturday mornings. The games have been crazy close. Also happy with USA rugby winning over Kenya and hopefully they win out to qualify for the RWC.

I actually bought some dvds recently.
 
Uncharted - Actually really enjoyed the film and the chemistry between Wahlberg and Holland. Stuck pretty much to the format and style of the games even down to an auction heist, and with the cast it gives them plenty of opportunity to do more films. 
 
The Batman - was never really sure if I would like this as it’ll be the 3rd Batman in 10 years, but enjoyed the take of a grungy, brooding detective without all the military grade gadgets. Another positive for me was the fact they didn’t go straight to another joker too but instead to a more diabolical Riddler character, whilst introducing others like cat woman, penguin and lt. Gordon. Fingers crossed they last longer than Affleck’s run as the dark knight.
 
Top Gun: Maverick - Great film and cast. 
 

The Autumn Internationals are here!! If you haven’t seen any and are interested it’s all on Amazon prime. Good to have international rugby back and have the southern hemisphere teams visiting leading up to next years World Cup. There has been some  entertaining games so far, some good tries, big hits and absolutely shocking lids and most of that is just off the kiwis.

Watched a really good sci-fi comedy yesterday about hunting spectres that I would thoroughly recommend
 

Agreed, Cavill has been great as Geralt. Such as shame as it’s such a good series of games (books can get a little stagnant) with some great characters to explore and they have nearly tanked it already.

No fucking around this season by Max, he absolutely romped it and well deserved the title. Everyone else just seemed to have dropped the ball, whether that being Ferrari‘s unreliable engines (again) or Mercedes initial concept. Hopefully this is the last season we’ll hear of porpoising.

Your falcons are making some good progress with the rebuild, the fact you could go top of your division tomorrow is a bit crazy. Think your division is tied with the afc south for the worst in the league.
For me I’m just hoping the bills destroy packers

Nice win over the packers for me, just hope it hasn’t come at the cost of Jordan Poyer. Last thing I need is my other starting safety being out.

Yep not the greatest film in the world but with a couple of drinks or some hallucinogenics it could be funny as fuck.
