I don't understand that video at all.

That'd probably be a hate crime though.
If you see the world entirely in terms of sectarian violence and flag-shagging Scottish nationalism, then Rangers = England is about right. That's all there is for certain Scots these days.
Clipped at speed:
Is there any foreign muck left to come out of the woodwork or have we experienced the greatest hits?
After this tear-stained occasion I'm taking no more lectures on the hand of god, that's for sure.
That twitter fight clip is from the World Cup. Was hoping for fresh bantz.
Thought maybe they were going to have just one team going through from each group rather than adding an extra knockout round. Sounds like it'll make the group stages a bit shit but then we get another knockout round so swings and roundabouts, I guess.
Plus, better chance of NI or ROI qualifying.
Yeah, tournament knockout football is so good that a ridiculous group stage might be a price worth paying.
GS was always really anti-England for somebody so STAUNCH. Probably some weird closet case complex.
There's a definite theme to the Anti-England mob.
What's your point? He's clearly impeded by what's happening, it's just within the rules of the game so he does what he can to keep going. Footballers don't keep going when they're impeded because then they don't get a penalty.
Secondly, players in the NFL are going to be the top 0.0001% of being able to keep running when someone is trying to stop them. Hardly surprising he's good at it.
Also falling down isn't incentivised in the NFL. If it was, they'd fall down.
RL using the 'you sound like you've never even played the game' line
How many nutmegs will RL get on Don on the next kickabout?
I got an A* in GCSE PE I'll have you all know
I'm becoming increasingly convinced in my mind that we'll be going back 5 against Italy, probably Saka to miss out, to get Trippier in the team for set pieces*. Italy are quite rinky-dink aren't they? Verratti, Jorginho, all the forwards are all full manlets. All out defence, batter them with set pieces. Brutal but effective.
*as was pointed out in here, what the fuck was Sterling doing taking that direct freekick yesterday? Has he ever taken one before as a professional? It's that sort of mad shit (Kane on corners) that makes you worry about the whole set-up. Surely Mount can take a freekick? It is a bit of a problem area though, hence perhaps the need to get Trippier back in the side (you can't drop Walker though).
Immobile is their tallest attacking option at 6'1 but he doesn't play like it. The most physical one is Belotti who I was stunned to learn is only 5'11.
I do feel like they should play Locatelli in midfield against England but I don't think they will.
I'm pretty sure he'll try and match them as well with 3-5-2. Can see Foden starting as well.
Belotti looks like a mafia enforcer so yeah, quite surprised he's a bit of a midget too. He's probably more of a Sir Les Ferdinand type though with his sub-six-footedness.
A combined Italy/England eleven is quite difficult to pick.
I'd have Tammy Abraham in for Harry Kane and Callum Hudson-Odoi in somewhere.
I'd want Frederico Chiesa involved.
lol the UEFA laser charges are also for booing their anthem and letting off flares. Oh well. Make us play the next one behind closed doors.
What is this sudden horror at booing the oppositions national anthem? Am I grossly misremembering things, or have we pretty much booed the opposing teams national anthem at football for basically as long as I can remember watching football?
Gave it a minute.

That Ian Walker or Mr Versatile?
It's Des, playing sweeper-keeper.
I know he looked 35 at 17, but come on... He looks like an older Brendan Gleeson.
Younger than Ronaldo. Captain. Leader. Legend.
He'll have gone bald twice by 40.
The viewing figures are in. 23.9m for the semi final. It makes me wonder what the hell happened for '66 to top the list. Like, there wasn't a telly (or 3) in every home like there is now. The final will push the 2012 Opening ceremony out of the all-time top ten, at least.
Christ. I know he's never been a youthful looking bloke, but he looks like he's been digitally aged for a film or something.
He must have had at least three top-ups on the original transplant. There is a 2019 interview with James Nesbitt where he says he's on his sixth.
Just wear a wig if it bothers you that much. Eddie Jordan's been pulling one off for decades and no one is any the wiser.
Proper lolled at that last night. So good
