Do you watch domestic football?
Yes, all Manchester City games! Hart has been a PL champion, after all, while I don't even knw who Pickford is. if he was that great, he would have been picked by one of the better teams in the league.
Oh. You know Hart was at West Ham, and second choice as he was dropped for being crap right?
Did anyone see that England tried to score while Croatia were celebrating their goal?
Absolutely embarrassing!
Haha, I didn't see that!
Surely it's offside anyway?

So has Alex Buttner. He must be better than Alex Sandro then.
Keep talking though, it's just getting funnier.
I don't even watch football much but even I can tell that Pickford was as good as any team could expect from a goalkeeper. As TheOracle said, in a split second Pickford got a hand to the ball and made the difference between us staying in the competition or being knocked out. That said, I read that penalty was going wide so I'm not sure if it would have gone in anyway?
If a player is on the pitch it's legit.
You're talking about the shot that Columbia had that Pickford saved and it went for a corner, they then scored from the corner.
The penalty save was down the middle and he got a strong hand to it.
I dont mean the actual kick-off being offside, but when it gets passed back to him. Rashford is in the opponent's half with no other players between him and the keeper when the ball is passed to him?
I think if Lingard keeps it and runs himself it wouldn't be offside?
Which seems to be the basis of your argument/trolling rather than his demonstrated performance this WC.
No way, one of the best things Southgate has done is binning Hart off, he's never been any good. He's not even in the top 5 of English goalkeepers.
Pickford barely put a foot wrong whereas Hart constantly ***** up, no idea why anyone would want to bring Hart back in.
Ah yeah, I got confused. It wasn't the penalty save, it was the one that went to a corner that was going wide.

Pickfords distribution was also fantastic. Agree with the sentiments above. Hart has always been poor for us but for a long long time we haven't had any better. Hopefully Pickford can be moulded into an England great. He would make a fantastic keeper for someone like Liverpool or Arsenal.

He's made some good selections. Not sure if Wiltshire and Lallana should have been in the squad though? Could they have helped us win lastnight
The problem was there was no plan B, we needed an attacking option last night from midfield. Throwing Vardy and Rashford when there was no one to create anything would never work, especially when an even more defensive option came on in place of Henderson. Alli was anonymous again, and deemed our creative force.. Lallana would have been a good option, even Shelvey.
