Nations League 24-25

[Silas Loom]

The ouzo and retzina is gonna be flowing freely tonight.

Rather glad I'm not still living in the particular area of N. London I grew up in

I suspect it’s where I live now. Remarkably quiet, though.

The kraken is stirring...

Takes off handbrake, rolls backwards downhill.

The problem was we didn't have enough attacking midfielders. Get Grealish on for Stones, Bowen for Lewis and Sancho for Rice. More attackers means more goals, so.

Carlsey has just said in interview with ITV that they practice the system for 20 minutes yesterday

 

[Lord Camomile]

See, thing is, Greece had to take points off us tonight to give themselves a head start against the other teams in the group, because they're scared we'll do better.

Couldn't beat us in a fair group, so took advantage of our hospitality to steal an advantage.

Cowards.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

oops.

it somehow passed me by that this was on...

 

[ID47]

And there is why Pep sold Palmer.

 

[tommers]

And there is why Pep sold Palmer.

huh? because he foresaw that he would play badly against Greece in a system with 10 attacking midfielders and no striker?

Why hasn't he sold Foden then?

Yes a mistake not to pick any defenders I think

 

[Lord Camomile]

Yes a mistake not to pick any defenders I think

I bet you think Ossie Ardiles made a 'mistake', too?

 

[stavros]

To be fair, both France (1998) and Spain (2010) won the World Cup without a figurehead striker.

Spain had David Villa who surely counts. Stephane Guivarch might not have been a very good one but he was still definitely a striker.

I remember Villa as playing on the left and cutting in. I think a very out-of-form Torres was their official man up front.

 

[Ualan]

Good win for Portugal against Poland but Bruno was extremely unlucky not to score today.

Give him time, he will.

 

[tommers]

Bit of a saner line up today.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Uh-oh, 1-0 up. We all know this is when England are at their most vulnerable

was this on proper tv? I checked but couldn't see it

 

[Puddy_Tat]

was this on proper tv? I checked but couldn't see it

was on ITV here

 

[Lord Camomile]

was this on proper tv? I checked but couldn't see it

It was on ITV1.

I'll leave it to your discretion as to what that makes the answer to your question.

Ah ok ta - I was round a neighbour's for roast lunch anyway but will look for the play-it-again.
