[ska invita]

Still got no idea what Kane's supposed to be doing in this team.

Goal hang

4-3-2-1

4-3-2-1

4-3-2-1

4-2-3-1? Yes!

 

[two sheds]

With England "it's just the quality on the ball at the moment"

well yes that's all it really ever is with football

plus they're shit off the ball at the moment, too

foden's looking better though

 

[tommers]

This is better.

 

[two sheds]

"a belting bouncer that bamboozled the back line"

Dont think he, himself knows

 

[strung out]

I wish people would remember that like Italy, England are traditionally slow starters in tournaments.

 

[two sheds]

and slow down in the middle a bit to grind to a halt at the end


"It sorta starts off real slow and then fizzles out altogether"

 

[Lord Camomile]

Matches like this I feel sorry for the 'keeper.

He'll do what he can at his end*, but otherwise he's just got to stand there and watch things fail to unfold in front of him.

Must be infuriating.



*while, of course, any mistake on the level his teammates are making would be absolutely hammered.

 

[SpookyFrank]

I'd still swap Gallagher for another forward and just play 4-4-2

 

[Steel Icarus]

Thus is very poor. Kane is pressing by himself as though to prove he's got the kegs for it (and he'll knacker himself out), everyone is receiving the ball by stopping it while stopped themselves... where's the invention, where's the risk, where's the fucking FUN?

 

[Wilf]

Wonder if England forget Kane is there sometimes? Team bus drives off without him and stuff.

 

[Steel Icarus]

I mean how hard is it to go Oh, Jude spends most of time in centre mid, let's drop him in there, put Foden in the creator/free role and get an actual speedy left winger on

 

[Steel Icarus]

He drives the fucker. From halfway down it

 

[Lord Camomile]

get an actual speedy left winger on

Look, I haven't played for 4 years, but if you think it'll make a difference I'll give it a go...

 

[hash tag]

Roll on half time

 

[ska invita]

Can Slovenia qualify?

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Early night then

 

[Wilf]

Can Slovenia qualify?

Yes, certainly if they win.

 

[Idaho]

Kane is so slow. He's about a second late on the ball.

I've liked the couple of inside runs that Rice has done, even if he just charged pointlessly into a group of defenders both times.

 

[planetgeli]

Best thing about that half was no added time.

 

[tommers]

Been better than the last two anyway.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ref blows the whistle dead on 45 minutes

Will get a lot of empathy from other shift workers who ain't putting in a second more than they have to

 

[hash tag]

Best thing about that half was no added time.

The best thing was the half time whistle being blown.
Listen, we have qualified, so no point in busting a gut.oh, they haven't.

 

[ska invita]

Top of the Group, Top of the World

 

[Steel Icarus]

How many times has Foden got the ball on the left then trundled across the pitch in search of a clue?

 

[zedr]

foolishly agreed to go to a meeting an hour away from home so will be watching it from the comfort of the top deck of the bus

decided to risk the overground and then remembered they have no WiFi when they go inter the Thames

Lucky you tbh

 

[planetgeli]

They should come out in bibs in the second half
