Hi all,

I read, as I’m sure many of you did, that port authority are massively inflating prices for the train come match day.

Anyone , who’s going, figured out if there’s a way around this.

It never entered my tiny head they might I fate public transport prices like this and it’s infuriating.

We (x2, me and 16yr old son)are staying downtown manhattan.

I’ve been to NY quite a few times so will be doing some research to see if anything is doable but thought I’d ask you knowledgable lot too!

Cheers

To everyone planning on visiting New York City at some point during the world cup, I have a few suggestions for transport. Our subway system and buses do reach everywhere, but sometimes the routes don’t go directly where you want and you have to take quite a detour, but it’s cheap and accessible, albeit a bit shitty and unreliable at times. As for ride share services, those will be especially high in the summer, as uber and others prices will surge and I expect there to be quite a lot of demand. I suggest taking a yellow cab, which especially if you’re in manhattan, you can find one driving by every 15 seconds. Stand on the avenues to find them faster. They’ll cost much less as they have fixed surges, which are only based on the time of day and some traffic, but no where near as costly as ride share services. There’s also city bikes which you can use to get around Manhattan specifically.

Assuming England top the group then we 100% play a third placed best runner up from group K

Portugal

Colombia

Congo

Uzbekistan

But if the 3rd placed team from group K doesn’t go though as one of the 3rd placed best runners up then we would face a 3rd best placed team from group I which is a tougher proposition

France

Senegal

Norway

Iraq

So It could be Norway or Senegal or worse France

I’d rather face one of the team from group K ( assuming Portugal and Columbia finish in top 2 ) rather than chance it with the likes of a Norway Senegal or France

Ps - I accept , there is chance none of the 3rd place teams from group K and group I go through

In which case it becomes more open ended

as to who we face in R32

And not to suffer hubris , I know in 2016 many of us were celebrating avoiding Portugal and getting Iceland

Lads, this kid is goood. Been a big factor for City today. I think he starts LB.

Who’s your first choice LB?

Just a heads-up for anyone coming over for the match on June 27. NJ Transit just announced $150 (approx. £111) round-trip fares for the "World Cup Train." It’s absolute madness.

I live in about 3 miles from the stadium and I've walked the route back from the Oasis shows last summer in about 60 mins to avoid the post-match gridlock. If you’re trying to plan your logistics and want to avoid the $150 transit fee or the 3-hour wait at Secaucus, feel free to ask me about the local area or walking routes. I'm happy to help supporters navigate the "Jersey Swamp"!

I’ll preface this by saying I don’t watch Forest much. But he looks immense today. A totally different style to anyone else we have at that position. With knocks piling up, he has to be in consideration, surely?

I don’t know much about his injury and just curious

Yes, he is 35 but he has been in great form with Brighton. Experience matters a lot in the World Cup, I'd argue even more than the Euros.

Do you see him going to the World Cup with Harry Kane and co?

Weclome to The Lion's Den, this is a generic weekly discussion thread about anything England, England players, or any related matters! As usual, don't be a cock and this is not a vehicle for fans from other teams to troll or otherwise push their bias.

Any articles, images, or the like should still be their own posts. Lastly, if a conversation becomes large enough, we may lock that particular thread and recommend it become a post in it's own right.

If you have any issues, do flag to the mod team, and we'll resollve ASAP.

Not in great form but would be very risky what with Kane really being the only attacker anyone feels reasonably confident of scoring multiple goals at the World Cup but Palmer having a proven history of big match performances for country and club.
