Spain vs Poland

[tommers]

I think I can safely say that we are all supporting Poland.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

A Poland win really keeps this group alive!

 

[Rebelda]

Nice pacey first ten minutes.

 

[tommers]

Yeah, looks like they're both up for it. Spain are even occasionally passing it forwards and taking a risk.

 

[Diamond]

American-accented safety announcements probably the most interesting part so far

 

[Lord Camomile]

Wouldn't expect such schoolboy tactics from a team with their legacy

I thought it sounded Spanish?

 

[tommers]

Haha, they just said Spain had 85% possession against Sweden. Thank fuck I missed that.

 

[Diamond]

Who learnt English while visiting relatives in Florida, perhaps...

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Surrporting Poland here because
a. Mr. QofG's family came originally from Poland
b. Most of my colleagues in the night shift at work are Polish
c. I've been more drunk in Poland than I have in Spain

Solid reasons

He sounded quite upset that the crowd hadn’t stopped talking and watching the game when he’d asked them to pay attention

I was dreading another snooze fest, as it's the only one I get to watch today. I haven't forgiven Spain for the last 90 minutes I watched so come on Poland!

 

[Rebelda]

Arse

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ooh, that's a new one!

See, Spain innovating and bringing excitement to the game!

 

[purves grundy]

A foot onside

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Boo!

[QueenOfGoths]

Someone was lying (laying?) behind the wall. Hurray!!

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Never seen that before.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Never seen that before.

I find it hilarious.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

It find it hilarious.

Commentators didn't even feel the need to comment on it.

Nothing to see there.

 

[The39thStep]

Never seen that before.

City do it on occasions , Zinchenko is the draft excluder

 

[tommers]

Seems to be becoming more common.

I first saw it in the premier league a few months ago.

Mr. QofG's says he saw it first against Man City but doesn't remember who.

I wonder if they draw straws for who lays there?

 

[Lord Camomile]

I guess the guy lying on the floor is actually quite safe, since once the free kick taker has seen someone on the ground they're not going to try the shot under the wall.

Unless their team is already 3 goals up and they're a right bastard

 

[The39thStep]

Might stay or just be a fad . Always remember McClaren at Derby attempting to use basketball screening tactics .

Unless someone steps on them yes . It’s all about dynamic risk assessment.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Oooooooooh!!
