England v Germany - Tuesday 29/06 - 17:00

[The Octagon]

Lord Southgate sounding good

I think he deserves the The Most Noble Order of the Garter (1348) for this.

Can't wait for 19 year old Sir Bakayo Saka.

 

[JimW]

Much less begrudgery in the German reports I've read. They even seem to have forgiven us Ed fucking Sheeran.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Ah Gareth... (on 1996) "I saw Dave seamen up there....For my team-mates, I can't change that..." Nearly welled up at that!

Ikr

 

[JimW]

We should just rename London Southgate, it's way down there and the gateway to the world so it would work.

 

[Kaka Tim]

have to say - england are playing like the sort of team who often win tournaments (spain 2010 mentioned above - Italy the 2006 world cup , Germany 96) very hard to beat, cancelling out the opposition , professional, cautious not scoring hatfuls of goals. Names on the cup i tell ya

Greece and Portugal too, look at the actual results for winners of the Euro and tell me we're not on the right path.

 

[JimW]

Could be all set up for a massive grind fest against the Spanish, first one to blink and leave midfield loses.

 

[platinumsage]

 

[JimW]

Never scored in the Euros apparently

 

[littlebabyjesus]

That history is just history to these players isn't it? 1990, 1996? They were barely born, if at all born. They don't care. Germany just another team to beat. They're our generation's scars.

edit:

Full quote “For the teammates that played with me I can’t change that, that’s always going to hurt, but what’s lovely is we’ve given people another day to remember” Bloody have you mate.

I welled up a bit at that

 

[Petcha]

Why does Grealish play for such a small club? Surely he's better than that? He always looks good when he comes on.

Handy for his hairdresser

His value has increased as much as Kane's has fallen

 

[The39thStep]

It's a little bit sour for my taste though it is improving with each mouthful!

An acquired taste wheat beer

 

[Elpenor]

It’s coming, Rome

Don't want to harp on the point after that result, but Sancho has been terrorising German defences for 2-3 years now, even if he didn't play no way we weren't confident and prepared for them

 

[Badgers]

 

[weltweit]

Finally an England game that was a pleasure to watch. Well the second half at least.

One game at a time though.

Most pissed off player, Muller.

 

[Lucy Fur]

If it's any consolation I'd sat down for kick off, beer check, snackage check and this Mrs Fur rolls in tears cos the dogs run off. Spent the next 1.5 hours trudging round fields on a broken foot. Still we one and the Mutt is home now.

Just found out I HAVE to work tomorrow from 7am till 6pm plus an hours commute each way

I'd rather play every game at Villa than one game in three at Man City.

And unlike City, Villa have history and fans and stuff.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bleedin' 'eck, I know it was a while ago, but he did win them the World Cup!

Surely we can do better than that

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Why does Grealish play for such a small club? Surely he's better than that?

Villa is in his blood. He’s young, talented, & wants more from the game. We’ll miss him. But he’ll always be a Villian.

 

[Sprocket.]

Surely we can do better than that

Well yes, you should see what I’ve just had from a dozen Barnsley fans!

 

[souljacker]

 

[Diamond]

That was a tough watch. Grealish has to start the next game. Kane was deadweight for most of it. Calvert-Lewin must be on the bench next time.

 

[MrSki]

 

[MrSki]

Surely we can do better than that

Apologies in advance.

edit I removed this because it was out of order & lions are not English.
