England v Wales

[May Kasahara]

This game is already utter shit. Like watching cold porridge play against a bit of wet rag. BORING.

 

[Steel Icarus]

I like Neco Williams, lots of spirit

Crowd should shut up with that shit though,

 

[Steel Icarus]

It's basically an attack vs defence training sesh

 

[Gromit]

It's got a better tune than the Welsh one but yes. How exactly is our King 'gracious'?

The English anthem has got the emotional range of a plant pot.

The Welsh anthem has anticipation moving into Hiraeth followed by chorus requiring passion & jubilation (simultaneously) before finishing off with a ton of Hwyl.

This is why the Welsh anthem impresses. It's sang with emotions. Emotions that have their own words that don't even translate easily into the English language.

 

[Gromit]

I can't say I'm enjoying this.

As we need to score a goal every 22 mins (we're behind target). Was never going to be fun.

I‘ve just put the Iran vs USA game on the iPad, and can confirm the two minutes I’ve watched so far have been more enjoyable. Far better atmosphere as well.

No one there harry you big lump

We're arguing about national anthems. That's how interesting this game is.

The Iran / US game has been quite good .

 

[Idaho]

No one there harry you big lump

Went for goal and missed the corner flag!

 

[bcuster]

I can't believe Wales is allowing England to turn this into a slow game. The Dragons MUST pick up the tempo!

 

[JimW]

Hope that's not concussion

very closely played, just like this one...

 

[editor]

Hope that's not concussion

Such a shame he's had to go off but he clearly wasn't well.

 

[DaphneM]

True

 

[May Kasahara]

My god, some actual play happening there

 

[blairsh]

That was a bit of something!

 

[JimW]

A move!

 

[8ball]

ETA National Anthem, check. Jaunty, subjective but I'd say so. What's your point?

Just pettily insinuating that you Googled because you know more national anthems than me.

 

[JimW]

Rashford seems really out of sorts. All set up for Wales to nick a lead on stroke of half time.

 

[Gromit]

Rashford looks hungry.

We need to throw him a free school dinner to slow him down.

We need Iran to score now.

The USA need score 3 or goals to top the group so no need worry atm

 

[JimW]

Wales not exactly going for those goals they need, understandable but might as well go down guns blazing.

No, you need to score. You're going nowhere for sure if you don't. And you don't look like you can get anywhere near scoring at the moment.

 

[8ball]

I would highly advise they kick the ball in the goal too.

 

[oryx]

This has been as boring as the USA game, possibly even more so.

ETA I ran for a bus to get home for this

 

[8ball]

Rashford showing hangriness.

 

[donkyboy]

Watching England is a bore. i've got it running in the background but not paying much attention to it.

 

[8ball]

Did they really say Chesney Hawkes?

 

[tommers]

We're arguing about national anthems. That's how interesting this game is.

We always argue about anthems when England plays Wales.
