Czech Republic vs England 22/06 - 8pm

Prediction

  • Total voters
    26
  • Poll closed .
On the one hand, if someone said we'd win the group and not concede a single goal during the group stage I'd have snapped your hand off; on the other, we don't lok that convincing - can't help but think we'll fall at the first hurdle when up against a half decent team. Whilst we have the talent, the way we play lacks creativity, and I think we've been lucky not to concede a couple. Pleased for Sterling, though.
 
I feel like the TV are really overselling these clean sheets. A Lukaku (we're never going to get far enough to meet Lukaku :D ) or an Mbappe or a Ronaldo will make a mockery of our "three clean sheets".

I'm still not sure we've all fully grasped the offside rule.

it's simple enough:

'Offside position

It is not an offence to be in an offside position.

A player is in an offside position if:
  • any part of the head, body or feet is in the opponents’ half (excluding the halfway line) and
  • any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent
The hands and arms of all players, including the goalkeepers, are not considered. For the purposes of determining offside, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit.

A player is not in an offside position if level with the:
  • second-last opponent or
  • last two opponents
Offside offence

A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:
  • interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate or
  • interfering with an opponent by:
  • preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or
  • challenging an opponent for the ball or
  • clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or
  • making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball
or
  • gaining an advantage by playing the ball or interfering with an opponent when it has:
  • rebounded or been deflected off the goalpost, crossbar or an opponent
  • been deliberately saved by any opponent
A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball, including by deliberate handball, is not considered to have gained an advantage, unless it was a deliberate save by any opponent.

A ‘save’ is when a player stops, or attempts to stop, a ball which is going into or very close to the goal with any part of the body except the hands/arms (unless the goalkeeper within the penalty area).

In situations where:

  • a player moving from, or standing in, an offside position is in the way of an opponent and interferes with the movement of the opponent towards the ball this is an offside offence if it impacts on the ability of the opponent to play or challenge for the ball; if the player moves into the way of an opponent and impedes the opponent's progress (e.g blocks the opponent) the offence should be penalised under Law 12
  • a player in an offside position is moving towards the ball with the intention of playing the ball and is fouled before playing or attempting to play the ball, or challenging an opponent for the ball, the foul is penalised as it has occurred before the offside offence
  • an offence is committed against a player in an offside position who is already playing or attempting to play the ball, or challenging an opponent for the ball, the offside offence is penalised as it has occurred before the foul challenge
*The first point of contact of the 'play' or 'touch' of the ball should be used

No offence

There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from:
  • a goal kick
  • a throw-in
  • a corner kick
Offences and sanctions

If an offside offence occurs, the referee awards an indirect free kick where the offence occurred, including if it is in the player’s own half of the field of play.

A defending player who leaves the field of play without the referee’s permission shall be considered to be on the goal line or touchline for the purposes of offside until the next stoppage in play or until the defending team has played the ball towards the halfway line and it is outside its penalty area. If the player left the field of play deliberately, the player must be cautioned when the ball is next out of play.

An attacking player may step or stay off the field of play not to be involved in active play. If the player re-enters from the goal line and becomes involved in play before the next stoppage in play, or the defending team has played the ball towards the halfway line and it is outside its penalty area, the player shall be considered to be positioned on the goal line for the purposes of offside. A player who deliberately leaves the field of play and re-enters without the referee’s permission and is not penalised for offside and gains an advantage, must be cautioned.

If an attacking player remains stationary between the goalposts and inside the goal as the ball enters the goal, a goal must be awarded unless the player commits an offside offence or Law 12 offence in which case play is restarted with an indirect or direct free kick.'

Tl;dr. Do you have a summary?
 
Enjoyed that immensely.

Saka was fantastic - all we needed was a Gooner on the pitch, evidently.

Grealish was great too - notable how much of the conversation in the pub was about his hair and calves - almost as impressive as his football.

That Stephen O'Donell story from the Scotland game about chatting Grealish up to put him off certainly has the ring of truth to it!

Beyond that, Bellingham for Rice for me. He's a complete footballer - an amazing player.
 
I watched the whole game. Can count on one hand the number of whole games I've watched. But I totally understand the off side rule....but, wouldn't it be more exciting if it didn't exist? I can't see why it matters who gets front first, why can't it just be good for them, they've got there. Well done you type of thing.

Totally uninformed observations were..
1. Saka was everywhere.
2. Southgate wore a waistcoat so it wasn't forecast rain.
3. Czechs looked tall or England are short.
4. The Czech manager had a touch of the Peter Stringfellows, but liked the big smiles at the end.
5. Googled Bellinghams annual salary in a boring bit...1.1 million a year at 17 😲
6. Glad no one hacked lumps out of each other. Seemed good natured.

The Railway in Tulse Hill was packed again last night as England fans (and a small contingent of Czech Republic supporters) gathered to watch the Euro 2020 encounter.

I thought Walker was quietly rather good last night. He's cleaned up those loose passes, and his positional sense was excellent.
