[The39thStep]

Do like a drop of Belgium beer .

Definitely a lacklustre first 20 if we're talking about the food

I’ve just had duck rice and a bottle of Sagres

That Portugal away kit really is not nice.

Must be an outlier as I really like it.

It's the horizontal stripes!

Ronaldo's free kick record remains risible.

Football history is only based on what players did in the EPL

Was a change of plan but I've just had what is probably the greatest toasted cheese and tomatoe sangwich of all time.

 

[Badgers]

Just had a chunk of Vienetta

While obviously "scores lots of goals" doesn't inherently equate to "good at free kicks", it is kind of odd how poor his record is given how hard he works to improve aspects of his game and his obvious talent.

Plus, y'know, all the practice he's had

I’m moving on to this German Grapefruit wheat beer. It’s not very strong but it’s refreshing and it’s still warm here

 

[Steel Icarus]

This commentator is fucking shite

 

[Lord Camomile]

This hits home hard

Nicest pint I can emember was Belgian Abdij beer in a monastery, smoooooth .

 

[Steel Icarus]

As is the match

 

[purves grundy]

Groan @commentry

Game does need a eager fist up the arse tho

 

[tommers]

Just had a chunk of Vienetta

Made my weekly pizza. Pancetta, chilli, green pepper, black olives, tomato, jalapeños, shallots. Decent.

 

[The39thStep]

I’ve got ITV on rather than the Portuguese channel. The commentary is like a trainspotter chatting to an ex commuter as the country side rolls by .

 

[Steel Icarus]

I've got a triple gin with Aldi's faux Lilt and some lemon slices. Lovely.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Check out the size of that

No knob pictures please

 

[Lord Camomile]

Christ almighty, he's digging deep into his prepared notes with those Arnie and Stallone puns...

 

[Badgers]

One shot on target thus far

Not sure if the game is boring me as much as the commentary but will keep you posted on that

 

[Lord Camomile]

And THAT is why the advantage rule in football is bullshit.

He tries to keep going despite being fouled twice, doesn't get anything from it and doesn't get the free kick. What 'advantage' has he gained?

Piss off with your "he can't have it both ways", Lee. You've ruined your earlier credit with that one

 

[Steel Icarus]

Lukaku clearly fouled, why no free kick?

 

[two sheds]

And when there's an offside and advantage played until the defending team gains possession and are away when the ref wastes time by pulling it back for the offside

 

[Lord Camomile]

Lukaku clearly fouled, why no free kick?

Because 'advantage'

I really fucking hate the advantage rule in football. It may well be my most hated of the rules.

 

[campanula]

wot

 

[planetgeli]

What a goal!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, shit!
