LOOOOL!

What a bunch of absolute pricks.

 

[ska invita]

I think Kane deserves some of the credit for that. He could be a Ronaldo-style tosser, but he clearly isn't.

My favourite thing about Kane is when he scores he doesn't slide on his knees he just does a fist pump...says a lot

Says he’s got old man knees, for a start.

Yeah, Shearer didn't even pump the fist. It was just one hand in the air.

Shake hands with the colleague who provided the cross, and on with the game.

i think thats why i find him relatable
he "runs" a bit like me with long covid lungs too

 

[kabbes]

Southgate’s style is an absolute victory for the importance of good person management. It shows what a team that are there for each other can achieve. When the chips are down, no infighting or recriminations, just a determination not to let down your mates.

LOOOOL!

Yes, because the Dutch are all poor and live in tiny houses on a council estate in Brabant, and it's not like their captain plays for one of the biggest teams in the world. I'm sure their girlfriends get dolled up too.

 

[mx wcfc]

I wish they wouldn't keep showing that England fan wearing a WW2 RAF cap in the highlights. Pathetic

yes...I cant think of even once someone complaining about a pass not being at their feet or any kind of on pitch moaning. that may be partly because there haven't actually been that many crosses and deadly passes, but even so.

I mean, by all rights, he should not be scoring from there.

Ludicrous.

yep i hate it when some tosser taps in a goal that a team mate has worked really hard for and said tosser does the 'heyyyyy I'm great' celebration and doesn't even look at team mate.

Give me the Dutchman with the cheese on his head any day.

And that's been there from the start, of course. Seems like a long time ago when England made the semis of the WC after nobody had given them a chance at the start. Making the team likeable - and like each other - was the very first thing Southgate did.

1000%
Think that so often as it happens all the time...

 

[kabbes]

And the players all clearly love Southgate dearly. The way they talk about him, it’s like he’s their dad. You can’t underestimate how valuable that is.

 

[Epona]

I don't have any sound on, but surrounding a copper (and having it be read as a friendly interaction) seems in the realm of "things you can get away with if you're white"
(The resemblance is uncanny however)

Dimitar Berbatov, Marco Negri, Charles "Charlie" Charles

LOOOOL!

i thought it was the woke liberals who did the 'anyone but england' thing...

 

[Lotte]

It's weird, the left hate England because they're colonisers (or at least the American ones do) and the right hate England because they're 'woke' and there aren't enough white players on the squad.

Incidentally, Alderley Edge is where Koeman lived when he was Everton manager.

 

[The39thStep]

Mate of mine just reminded me that there were three players from Stockport in the squad tonight.

Was it World Cup 2018 when they were all messing around with inflatables in the pool at their base? Maybe a photo taken during pool recovery

You don’t do let loose in a team environment like there I think unless you’re pretty close with each other

LOOOOL!

Does he think the Dutch players are living in two up, two downs?

 

[Pickman's model]

Does he think the Dutch players are living in two up, two downs?

Think Bergkamp grew up in one

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Does he think the Dutch players are living in two up, two downs?

They're usually two up two down, but sometimes they're one up, three down, other times they're all four up.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Think Bergkamp grew up in one

My school bus went past (allegedly) Bergkamp's house when he was playing at Arsenal.

He wasn't living in a two up, two down then.

Yes, it was, and the usual suspects got angry about it and complained about 'remember when the England team used to be men?' How dare footballers mess about in a pool. Bastards.

the youtube channel is interesting and worth a peak into

 

[Lord Camomile]

Just got home with barely 45 minutes of the day left, and I'm going to have a whole chocolate bar before going to bed, because fuck it, England are in a successive European final and I'm working from home tomorrow
