Euro 2022

i wish Belgium would start getting the ball out of their half of the pitch. twud be great if they scored a goal

 

[two sheds]

There's a fair amount of shirt pulling when someone goes past them, but yes definitely seems to be less diving and play acting.

Safe pair of hands

 

[inva]

Gutting for Belgium

 

[two sheds]

Aww was looking forward to extra time. Deserved it though.

 

[redcogs]

Everard player of the match for me. Sad Belgium went down, but the result was fair all things considered. England Sweden will be exciting!

 

[belboid]

We’re all ready in New York

 

[inva]

belboid off to a cracking start isn't it!

 

[redcogs]

Very exciting match - skillful and entertainin - yay!

 

[belboid]

It is highly entertaining. We’re down the side of what has been the Dutch goal. Hopefully they’ll perk up in the second half so there’s as much action there as there was this half.

 

[two sheds]

Really good entertaining game. Bloody hell the French particularly forwards are good.

Cascarino and Diani are real electric every time they get on the ball

 

[redcogs]

France are sufferin

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Missed from a metre out!

France are by far the better side, but the longer it goes on, the more I can see the Dutch stealing it.

 

[redcogs]

Great keeping!

 

[redcogs]

Getting your moneys worth belboid

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Great keeping!

Dutch player of the match.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

That's a stonewall pen.

 

[belboid]

Getting your moneys worth belboid

I’ll say! Which is good cos I think we’ll have got a parking fine thanks to extra time

 

[inva]

Would have been a bit poetic if van Domselaar or van der Gragt had nicked an equaliser, best team won though.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Dutch were poor, I thought. France should have scored a few.

An England-France final would be good.

 

[belboid]

Keeping the French to a single goal is a damned impressive performance. Van Dee Gragt was brilliant. Shame that when they got good moves down either wing there was far too often no one in the box to pass to. And just not quite quick enough to the second ball. France, on the other hand, were excellent at everything bar getting the ball in the net.

 

[two sheds]

The Dutch did make a few really good accurate crosses when they got it down the wing.

Good game to be at

We have arrived ridiculously early, cos it’s raining and the nice bars were full. So we thought we’d take advantage of our expensive, Tony Currie Suite, tickets. Where, for an extra £40, you get a good seat, somewhere vaguely pleasant to sit pregame. And one free pint of Heineken!

The Swedish fans were in good form on the way down.

 

[MrCurry]

I have a dilemma of divided loyalties tonight. My own Norman Tebbit cricket test! I’m a Brit but I got granted Swedish citizenship at the start of June, so who to support tonight?

I might have to wait and see how the emotions grab me during the match, to find out which my heart chooses, but my head thinks the habits of a lifetime don’t change so quick and that I’ll be cheering on England. I’ve already got the drinks setup for both eventualities though!

i am very envious of you belboid - you lucky person. Its gonna be so exciting!

 

[redcogs]

looks like a full ouse!

 

[Petcha]

Not a regular watcher of women's football but watching those lineups at the anthem it's not the most diverse of sports is it (and i say that as a cricket fan). Every single person, players, officials, coaches, physios - white.

 

[redcogs]

Its a fair observation - they took the knee though

 

[Lord Camomile]

I think they actually discussed it during the coverage of a previous match?
