England v Slovakia 5pm 30/6

[JimW]

More of an Alf Tupper , Tough of the Track fan tbh

The days when we had a working class literature

 

[Ax^]

so everyone love Southgate again

for a week or so

 

[The39thStep]

Negatives : a very mechanical plodding performance saved only by a shot that could have gone anywhere and Kane doing something . No doubt more photos of politicians cheering England on .

Positives : that win saves a lot of German bar windows and street furniture

 

[ska invita]

Bellingham goal though..... One for the scrap book

 

[Voley]

Fucking hell. My nerves.

It's been a disastrous tournament so far, after all. Unbeaten, into the quarters.

 

[Humberto]

easeh easeh

TV companies will be delighted too i presume

 

[Ax^]

pfft like the fans will let winning stop them having a little rioting

 

[pbsmooth]

Very lucky. But better to be lucky than good in a tournament. Bellingham was invisible for 90 minutes but he has the Midas touch still it seems.

And, no doubt, a lot of women and girls from getting a beating, given the correlation between football and domestic abuse rates.

telling that to the English media before the late equaliser

wish they'd actually dissect the tactics in these post match interviews instead of just talking about vibes.

And pubs

I wish they didn't do them at all

 

[King Biscuit Time]

For some reason I had convinced myself that England going out would be worth an extra 2% to Farage.

 

[Mation]

That was absolutely fucking brutal to watch

 

[JimW]

Reading Chinese news and comments "The China of Europe stagger into the quarters." "Southgate is one lucky man" etc etc

 

[Lord Camomile]

It surprises me not one bit that some of Keane's happiest memories in football is when he won without playing well.

Actually, that said, in one sense that's almost off-brand for him.

 

[Lord Camomile]

That was absolutely fucking brutal to watch

 

[BristolEcho]

Sign of a good team getting a result while having an off day.

All people will remember in 52 years time is that this was the year it finally came home.

The China Of Europe???

 

[JimW]

The China Of Europe???

Guaranteed to disappoint you as a fan ETA the slang term used implies over-paid prima donnas who don't deliver

 

[Kaka Tim]

fucking wierd. simaltansously the most disjointed, erratic, disorded england team and the best crop of players in my lifetime.

 

[two sheds]

I wish they didn't do them at all

they don't, I turn it off when the game's over

 

[Mation]

The China Of Europe???

Together with Albania, we make a quarter of the world's population?

 

[Lord Camomile]

this better not be a metaphor for the Tories

Feels more like a metaphor for Labour.

Very little actual change, but victory will likely be used to justify more of the uninspired same.

 

[JimW]

All a cunning plan to leave the Swiss at a loss how to prepare.

Played 4 and, in normal time, won 1, drawn 3. All teams at least one league below us in domestic league equivalences.
