England: Nations League 2020/21

[Argonia]

Bollocks. Why is there no VAR?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Presume the stadium doesn't have the facilities?

 

[brogdale]

Are England meant to be better than Iceland?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Seeing the badge on the stadium seats reminded me, really interesting story behind its construction.

Guardian Spirits: Modular New Icelandic Team Logo Draws on History & Heraldry - 99% Invisible

Four figures of Icelandic legend are embedded in a newly designed national sports team logo — an eagle, giant, bull, and dragon, each abstracted and then combined. Together, they form a sharp and elegant yet geometrically complex icon, like a paper-cut snowflake. The designers released a video...

The short boy got a kick

 

[brogdale]

Just for info, if Iceland had 22,500 more people, this fixture would = Croydon vrs (the rest of) England.

 

[Argonia]

Bollocks we've been all over them and yet their keeper has had nothing much to do (apart from pick the ball out after Kane's goal of course).

 

[The Octagon]

Clearly need to get Kane on corners...

 

[Argonia]

This is torturous

 

[Lord Camomile]

Weeeeeeeeeeell, nutz.

 

[Lord Camomile]

At least they've already got a spare RB on the pitch

 

[Argonia]

GET IN

[The Octagon]

Phew

 

[Lord Camomile]

My stream gave up just as the Iceland penalty was awarded!

 

[The Octagon]

Win's a win, that was awful tho.

 

[agricola]

fortunate that, because the penalty was the most disgraceful thing ever witnessed on Icelandic shores

 

[brogdale]

Croydon* 0 : England 1 (pen)

* minus Waddon

I didn't watch it. How did they line up at the back? I can see Walker and Trippier both started, but they did that in the WC too, with Walker on the right side of a back three. Looking at the line-up, I suppose they could've done that again, with maybe Rice on the left, but I doubt it with Sterling and Sancho supporting Kane.

Oops...

Greenwood and Foden are caught bringing girls into England team hotel

England youngsters Phil Foden and Mason Greenwood will not travel with the team to Denmark today after footage emerged of the pair bringing girls back to the team hotel in Iceland.

Why can't they bring girls back to the hotel? They're not underage for fuck's sake!

Not sure if you've slept through the past 9 months, but there's a bit of a global pandemic on at the mo. Sports teams have some pretty strict protocols around boning randoms in the team hotel.

Covid doesn't exist. David Icke told me so. It's a plandemic to ensure that Bill Gates can vaxx everybody.

 

[Badgers]

Denmark eh?

 

[Argonia]

Getting quite nervous about this one.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Southgate talking about trying a back 3 again in training, maybe for this match. Don't really get it, TAA doesn't need the extra defender as insurance against going forward and our strength is in the front 3 (plus TAA). 4 3 3 is a no brainer to me.

 

[Badgers]

If the 'performance' against Iceland is anything to go by then nervous is pretty optimistic.

Yup ^

Does it not help if you've got an able DM to cover for TAA? England have Eric Dier.
