“He’s taken the money”. Patroning prick. I’m sure he’d prefer a premiership gig where he’d get 50k a week.

The Norwegian commentators, former national and Wimbledon boss Egil Olsen is co-commentator, are so far up Sweden's arses it's sickening. Cheerleading instead of commentating.

 

[yankspurs]

England has been like watching a clinic in how to keep the ball away from your best player

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

The pitch is missing a Neymar. Hasn't been rolled all game.... which is great to be honest.

Why is Kane in the centre mid stroking passes around when he should be up front?

 

[thinktank]

You see...that goes in and things go pear shaped.

Game is still properly in the balance.

Southgate needs to seriously think about adjustments and we need more fluidity and up the level of risk in our play to thread balls between them.

Trying to be too safe will cost us.

I kind of like that in the WC the commentators can do that tbh

 

[Indisguise]

Good tackle Trips!

 

[Chinaspur]

Great tackle trips

Had my French family over last week. They are actually really impressed with English commentary and football highlights. Continental versions can be more emotional than factual.

Trippier is in the form of his life right now

Argentina were similar with Messi against Croatia. So strange.

 

[Geyzer Soze]

Why is Kane in the centre mid stroking passes around when he should be up front?

Because he has to go get is own service if he wants it

 

[thinktank]

3/4 occasions now where if we break quickly on an overturned ball we fuck them.

Because he's the only one who can. We are so weak in CM.

Literally the only Eng player who’s been in good form

 

[thinktank]

This mode of play will backfire.

Play fucking football.

I'd settle for a second goal tbh

 

[Chinaspur]

Bet that lanky git Courtois wouldn’t have gotten down to that header...

 

[Gassin's finest]

Dele and young for Loftus and rose. In 10 mins.

Sterling for Loftus, Dele into Sterling's position. Different game.
