Any legitimacy this tournament had was lost when I realised that in the choral bookends on TV, they are actually singing: 'The Naaaaaaaaations Leeeeeaaague.'
Does Johns Tones even know how to mark at corners?
He's been beaten every single time.
Gareth Southgate responds with his trademarked standing there looking like a gorm.
To give Pickford his dues he's made two amazing saves there.
I'd be subbing Stones at this stage. Just because he's a centre half doesn't make him exempt from the hook.
Pickford has been a bit suspect at times.
The rest of the squad needs shooting.
Look at Southgate with his arm round Stones.
Playing it out from the back with Stones, Caveman Harry and Walker is definitely a winning formula, particularly when there's no one to pass it to.
I was going to say Ł60m+ for De Ligt is a fairly unnecessary gamble for anyone to take, but then, what did City pay for Stones?
I missed the beginning of the second half, was there a reason cancer Kane came on for Rashford? Bit sad for Lingard having that one ruled out. He's generally not very good, but he's an awesome finisher. Took it brilliantly.
Rashford took a knock.
I agree with someone on Reddit that the offside rule needs reviewing now VAR is a thing. It was designed to stop goal-hanging, not to rule out goals where the attackers toe is a cm ahead of the defender
I've heard Chilwell is really highly rated and on City's radar. He looks like a complete retard. Brainless pace merchant.
Idk really, wasn't it a thing for a while that there had to be daylight between them? I don't think that'd be an unreasonable change to be honest.
Great way to end it.
The MELTDOWN is real.
Everton.
Barkley looks like a fan who won a competition to play a game for England. He's AWFUL.
I have never heard of that 'daylight' shite, so I assume that it is something that your media made up.
Everyone bang up for the third place playoff against Switzerland?
I look forward to the hand-wringing about how shit we are again, there aren't any age groups for us to win coming up are there? (I know there is)
Quite like this Dutch team. They're a bit of a ragtag bunch, to say the least. Ryan Babel still getting a game.
Donny van der Beek or whatever his name is looks like a blonde Denny Landzaat regen. Same weirdly flat face.
Angry on a Thursday night.
Rated the performances of Chilwell and Rice. Waker needs to fuck off forever. Arrogant cunt.
Hopefully all the English plebs fuck off away from Porto for Sunday.
The offside was a fucking joke to boot. Through balls will become non existent.
im glad all 3 of the ex pros are absolutely no selling the "PLAY IT LONG!!" narrative the host is trying to push on behalf of the imagined plebs at home. carragher spot on that it isn't a problem of playing out of the back and it's just stones shitting his pants.
Martin Tyler was having a bit of a meltdown with the playing it out from the back stuff. I like to imagine him on the Woking bench shouting AWAAAAAYYY for 90 minutes.
"If in dooot, kick it ooooot"
Daniel James is actually unbelievably fast.
Merking the championship means little. I watched Adama literally run circles around players like he was on the school playground. There is more hope for James though. He cant have less of an end product that Adama. That would be impossible.
Also the new barcelona dutch player. (de roon?)His disguised reverse balls last night where crazy.
De Jong is the new Barcelona one.
It's incredible how much you can't get wrong in such a small amount of words. My problem is with the small minded knobs who follow England and hark back to ww2 and IRA songs. Portugal is a great place for a football away and could be enjoyed without the complete helmets behaving like they are.
Welcome to Brexit.
I'm starting to think we need a little holiday from European/international football again. Five more years should do it.
Such is the balance of power and money now that is never going to happen, certainly not at club level.
Coventry ground-sharing with Birmingham because the owners can't sort out a disagreement over the stadium with a rugby club from London.
So for the second time SISU are having to have them play in other places.
What a shambles.
Sick to the teeth of the Danes and I can't see that changing tonight.
Shane Duffy is a beast of a man.
Vietnam v Curacao in the King's Cup Final...live!!
First time since 2011 that Vietnam have played a team from outside Asia. Mozambique, previously.
