Paid Members Chilly McFreeze Posted June 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 17, 2018 Heads up, a documentary about being the England Manager is on tonight. 20:55 BBC2. Supposed to be really good.  https://www.ft.com/content/047490de-6f0a-11e8-852d-d8b934ff5ffa  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted June 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 17, 2018 This tournament seems to have been mostly about being organised at the back, and able to try and nick a goal. If Italy had managed to qualify for this one they'd be dead certs to win it,surely. I'm gutted they're not here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted June 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 17, 2018 So, thus far, Argentina, Brazil, France (despite winning) and Germany have all been less than scintillating. I know Spain didn't win, but based just on these one group games, you can't look past them as winners. I thought Shaqiri was very tidy today. Hopefully that'll shut up all the Twitter Spurs fans crying that he's not good enough for us. I think he'd be an excellent addition to the Spurs squad. Also, Serbia won. I'm going to win the works sweepstakes! Do they not have officials on the goaline now that they're using the technology? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, they haven't had them for ages as they would serve no purpose. I don't even think they were able to assist the ref with decisions other than goal-line.

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted June 18, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2018 Enjoyed the Germany game a lot yesterday. Yes, Germany were shit, but some of counterattacks by Mexico were glorious. While Brazil were not at their best in the later game, I do think they win that 7/8 times out of 10 based on the performance and I wouldn't be cacking it yet if I were then. Onwards to England, and a glorious 1-1 dullfest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pub I'm going to tonight is offering free shots for every England goal scored. Can't work out if that's a silly strategy or not as the place is always packed.

They could have easily by 2 or 3 with the 2 on 1 and 3 on 1 counters they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 So, who are the top pundits so far for you? Â I'm enjoying Slaven Bilic, Eni Aluko and Cesc Fabregas thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted June 18, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2018 Chris Waddle is hilarious as always on 5 Live. At least he is during the England game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Maestro Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Slaven Bilic for me. Plus I like how Keane sat next to him lives the gimmick of pretend hardman while Bilic would murder him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chilly McFreeze Posted June 18, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2018 I mean, referees don't get much worse than that do they? Shocking not to give at least one of those bear hugs on Kane as a penalty. We were much better than I was hoping. Kane did fuck all but score 2 goals, and really, that's all we needed from him. Clever movement for his second goal to make the space and anticipate the ball.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Murtz Posted June 18, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2018 The first 30 minutes were the best I have seen from England in years! It's a shame they just withered away afterwards. Some lovely movement that just needed better composure and we could have been out of sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
