England vs Spain, Sun 14/7 @ 8pm (BBC & ITV)

[tommers]

Very hard to find likeable English commentators imv and I can't follow the Portuguese commentary.

Not learned the language?

 

[Monte]

I'm enjoying it so far.

I've cava, champagne, prosecco, and Estrella Damm in case we get thirsty. I'm snacking on pico azul.

Ah, you just reminded me, I've got a couple of beers in the fridge. Salud.

 

[Elpenor]

Two colleagues are in a field behind Grimsby Morrison's watching England on two big screens. Idiots chucking half full cans and flares etc. Actual toddlers there. People can be so stupid when pissed.

Keep us updated on this one

 

[Wilf]

Repaired to the pub and they've got ITV on.

By the by any advice on how much beer to keep in my glass for throwing in the event of a goal?

Think best to order an extra pint every time just in case

Just set fire to a tenner when they score instead.

Not enough to keep up with the pace and width of language used in commentary.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Rodri coming off? That's massive, Zubimendi is a quality player, but a step down (anyone is).

Was more harking back to the great Des tbh...

 

[Lord Camomile]

quite pleased with that. think we're defending well and had a few decent attacking movements. have a very clear game plan and sticking to it well.

would be nice to see someone running in behind as kane hasn't seemed very perky, but wouldn't be surprised if southgate keeps it as is.

Softening up the Spanish defence for Watkins.

 

[Lord Camomile]

This football malarkey is a bit dull. Do they release the lions as an extra time thing?

The Lions are already on the pitch, you cur!

 

[WouldBe]

Take Kane off

Keep reading that as Kane takes off.

 

[spring-peeper]

Spain scored

 

[Lord Camomile]

A reminder: we have away possession about 6 seconds after kicking off.

They just scored.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Bollocks!

 

[The39thStep]

They've all forgotten how to build tension just by using players' surnames as the ball moves around. I want a little less analysis, less co-commentary and more poetry but it's just pining for the past.

I used to like the commentary as it was on Radio5 about 10 years ago. The worst format is the professional commentator ex-player combo where the games just takes the form of a background to the playful banter and torrents of statistics of the commentators.

 

[ruffneck23]

Noooo

 

[Bingoman]

Oh hell

 

[Puddy_Tat]

balls

[tommers]

Not ideal

 

[Lord Camomile]

A reminder: we have away possession about 6 seconds after kicking off.

They just scored.

WE JUST FUCKING DID IT AGAIN, AFTER THEY LITERALLY JUST SCORED FROM KICK OFF!!

WHAT THE FUCK???

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Rodri coming off? That's massive, Zubimendi is a quality player, but a step down (anyone is).

He who dares, Rodri, he who dares my son

 

[Wilf]

Not only a goal down but I've now got to listen to Ally Mccoist. Bring back Robbie Savage!

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Just got in. What's happening? Is it home?

 

[marty21]

Ffs etc

 

[Steel Icarus]

Right, they've scored, we've got them right where we want them

 

[twistedAM]

What's wrong with Rodri?
