    What is FreeSports and can I watch it on Sky?

    Annoyed that the second leg of the Peru-NZ game is on TV but the first isn’t. Hopefully I can find a dodgy stream on Reddit.

    Pickfords garb. Already been #foundout and we’re only in November.

    Nick Pope should’ve played ahead of Pickford, Hart and Forster.

    You have to preface any comment, good or bad with, "It's only a friendly, but-" but it's actually been sort of entertaining. I mean I'm kind of hoping if we're to score and win 1-0 it's in the last seconds because God knows what'll happen if Germany wake up.

    Channel 424 on Sky. They show a seriously odd mix of things. Tonight they're following up middling Spanish football with One FC, the biggest MMA promotion in Asia, and some live NASCAR.

    Luca Toni lumbering in at the back post, downward header just inside the woodwork.

    EDIT: Oh, it's already finished.

    In my ignorance I had no idea Tammy (seriously, is he fucking scotch or something?) Abraham was such a carthorse. What a touch.

    Unlike the other loanee who looked semi-god mode until Germany brought on an actual midfielder to play opposite him/he ran out of gas after 60 minutes. Staked his claim the BBC say. There you have it.

    How can Keiran Trippier have such a good first touch and cross the ball combo when he's so bad at crossing the ball from a set piece? Baffling.

    Overall though, 7 defenders and hope Kane/Alli/whoever (Lallana?) can win you the game is probably the best set-up we'll go into a major tournament with in fucking ages, so here's looking forward to ditching it.

    Loftus-Cheek better than Bakayoko according to Dixon and Hoddle.

    Edit: And Wright too:

    It's odd how nobody seems to factor Glenn Hoddle being an obvious space cadet into his analysis/commentary. His head has completely gone.

    Last I heard was Rennes, but that was last season or sth.

    Edit: Actually I think Las Palmas were interested this summer.

    They're all doing it, probably taking a cue from Yuli Gurriel who did it to a Japanese pitcher during the World Series the other week (baseball is big in Colombia).

    He's doing more of a downs mocking face than a slant eye mocking thing. Are we supposed to think it's the latter?

    O'Dowda starts and Murphy instead of Long.

    And no Whelan, so I presume someone has kidnapped O'Neill and picked the team instead.

    Sometimes I think I'm being too harsh on this lot but a league of Ireland team would be embarrassed to play like this. They're not going to knock it about like Barcelona but surely players from the premier league and championship can do better than hoofed clearance after hoofed clearance.

    It really is grim. Not even attempting to do anything, as you say. No real sense of purpose other than bodies behind the ball.

    Nothing football. It's not as if they can't string two passes together, they're not even attempting it.

    And this lad got a new contract before the Wales game too

    I think they've been good.

    On paper it's a remarkably weak side for one that's competing for a European world cup spot. Your star men are James McClean and Jeff Hendrick. I woudn't be ungrateful.

    They're premier league players. Like I said, a league of Ireland (League Two/Conference to you) would refund fans if they served up tripe like this. Poor play is one thing but there's absolutely zero effort or intention to do a thing only hoof the ball into the other half.

    Actually I'm being to generous. Go down a park on a Sunday and you'd see more composure on the ball than this.

    They're bottom half premier league players at very best. It's a well organised defensive block and it's worked well, obviously it's going to limit attacking options. I think it's exactly what Ireland had to do.

    Bottom half premier league players should have more composure than this, league two players should have more composure than this.

    The hoofing that has went on tonight is about ten levels worse than 'limiting attacking options'.

    I don't really know why composure matters when you've got the result and deserved to do so. I'd be more annoyed if I were a Denmark fan.
