Ukraine v England - Saturday 03/07 - 20:00

[Lord Camomile]

What I don't understand about those is only some players seem to wear them in matches (just going on the few occasions when players do still take their shirts off)?

They're for position and fitness tracking, right?

 

[Rebelda]

Yeah they're GPS trackers. I think most players wear them now.

Eta: I assume it's for post match analysis?

They are? First time I’ve seen one. I assumed he just had saggy moobs.

 

[Rebelda]

I'm sure they help with the nip chafing also

 

[JTG]

Yeah they wear them at all levels of the pro game now. Analysis n that

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

There is going to be a lot of very pissed people up and down the country by 8pm

 

[Badgers]

Where can I get one?

 

[Numbers]

Where can I get one?

You have 2 surely?

 

[Lord Camomile]

But Saka didn't have one in the Czech game?

(Apparently he took it off to get rid of a thermal layer, which it looks like Walker and Grealish are wearing too)

 

[strung out]

England do use them. See here: STATSports | World Leading GPS Tracker & Sports Performance Analysis

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh, yeah, I know they use 'em, just that the use doesn't seem to be "every player, every game", so wondering what determines which players wear them in which games.

Drop Gareth an email and ask him!

Colleague messaged me this morning (after last night's game) saying they were still pissed

 

[two sheds]

Why did nobody tell me there's no football today?

 

[JimW]

Why did nobody tell me there's no football today?

What do you mean, there's a full Brazil Serie B programme and a couple of tasty ties in the Asian Champion's League, though doubt we'll see another 7-0 drubbing like Beijing Guoan got last night.

 

[JimW]

And I see Tractor Sazi have gone in ahead at the half in the Persian Gulf Pro League

 

[JimW]

Gone mad in the big Dushanbe derby.
I'll stop now

 

[Wilf]

Ukraine are playing well and pressing hard so no pushover.

However...

They traveled to Scotland

Narrowly beat Sweden who had 10 players for the last 20 minutes.

Played a physical 120 minutes with a late kick off. The players looked dead on their feet at the end of the game.

Next they are travelling to Italy to play a fired up, young England team who played 90 minute's and rested the evening.

I am feeling confident about a strong England performance/win within 90 mins. Think 0-3 or 1-3 final score.

Glass half full: we're going to win this, easy.

Glass half empty: if we don't win this I've got my root vegetable ready.

 

[Yossarian]

England to win, but it might take them 120 minutes.

Though since there seems to be a link between the football and the massive rise in COVID cases, it might be a win for England if England go out of the tournament.

 

[JimW]

I eagerly await The39thStep's ruling on the sectarian issues involved in playing a predominantly Orthodox nation.

 

[JimW]

I mean, what with all the icons and incense they're pretty much Papists.

And I see Tractor Sazi have gone in ahead at the half in the Persian Gulf Pro League

Mr. QofG's went through a phase of adding matches like this into the mix of his Ladbrokes free £1 bet accumulators as he realised he was equally as 'good' predicting the scores of teams he'd never heard of as he was with the premier league

12 hours

 

[Argonia]

Ukraine are my dark horses for the tournament. Ranked 24 in the world I understand. I am not under estimating them.

[Badgers]

 

[Sprocket.]

12 hours

12 hours for the adrenaline or butterflies to build!!
Come on.
