England Euros '23

[Lord Camomile]

"Warm beer, cricket on the village lawn..."

In mid-November..?

 

[MysteryGuest]

Global warming innit?

Yeh not a booking but I wonder whether he'd kicked it too far and the ball was going out? If he couldn't have got the ball it looks like he took a step into the goalkeeper rather than trying to avoid him and get to the ball.

Yeah, see, I know the kind of move you mean, but I really don't think he took much of a step into the goalkeeper.

Maybe just fortunate placement, but it really didn't look like he was stretching to keep his left leg near the 'keeper like you normally might see.

Meh, I really don't care as much as this would seem. Just not much going on in the game besides

Yep me neither but good to see Malta growing in confidence now, making a few more creative midfield passing movements.

 

[mx wcfc]

lol!

 

[Lord Camomile]

I kind of want us to score again, just so the own goal isn't the difference, otherwise that'll suck sooooo much more for Pepe

 

[two sheds]

England playing a lot of consolidation - passing the ball backwards - keep the game in our own half, cunning. A bit outclassed by the Malta defence so far though.

 

[May Kasahara]

Let's be honest, this is a really boring game of football

 

[two sheds]

tactical, yes, like chess, boring

and as I say that

 

[Lord Camomile]

That were better.

Never fails

didn't think he was interfering with play really

go N. Macedonia

 

[skyscraper101]

Did anyone else’s feed go a bit weird then? Got a test card for a few seconds and then resumed with no commentary for a minute or so.

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuup.

Just as they started looking at VAR

 

[skyscraper101]

The commentary on this game is really whack. Bower and Townsend out.

 

[two sheds]

bump for 7:45 another toughie

I turned on the commentary early by mistake and it was immediately "we'll be with you right after the break with some great football bakeoffs ..." so I'm glad there's no threat of analysis.

 

[two sheds]

interesting team

and bump`

 

[planetgeli]

Hmmm. Grealish, Foden and Saka. I might turn this on. Is it worth it so far?

Much the same as last Friday. I'm only half watching it.

 

[two sheds]

oops

 

[Petcha]

Dion Dublin making Ian Wright seem like an impartial commentator

Clear pen.

 

[two sheds]

Hardly intentional. McGuire was closer earlier on with his trip and no-arms rugby tackle.

 

[Petcha]

Right. So if an England player had been smashed in the face by a flying arm in the box you'd think that's fine? The ref was doing his job. The weird commentators are not.

 

[savoloysam]

I don't think that was a penalty personally and would have said the same in the other box.

Anyhoo can we play South Macedonia instead?

 

[two sheds]

If it had been intentional then certainly a penalty.

You know what really gets me though, the rest periods these players get. They could have played all these league games in two weeks.

Absolutely

 

[Petcha]

Of course he's fucking offside. I could see that in real time.
