World Cup Final 2023: England V Spain

[Wilf]

There's dust in my eyes.

The dust of many countries.

 

[newme]

Sam Allardyce is available. It's about time. This is unacceptable.

Do they need to escape relegation now?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Know it's been said a lot, but Earps put in one of those 'keeper performances that deserves more than a loser's medal. She did absolutely everything asked of her, and even the goal had to be precision perfect.

Should get the golden gloves award imo.

 

[Wilf]

Wiegman out

Phil Neville, the king over the water.

 

[planetgeli]

And fuck VAR, seriously fuck VAR. That penalty took forever to give, then they obviously had some guilt conscience card which let them allow Earps to dive off her line well before the kick was taken.

Consistency? VAR is bollocks and always will be.

It wasn't VAR that took ages. It was the onfield ref who went to the screen. It should've taken one view.

Phil Neville, the king over the water.

Nah, very clearly time for Big Sam and/or 'arry.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Daly and Russo off at half time I thought didn't work. They've both been superb this tournament.

 

[dessiato]

Apart from England of course

No. Not this time.

Must admit, I thought it was a pen, but definitely a bit of cowardice from the ref. Sounded like she was getting theVAR person to give it. And yeah, did look like she was off her line.

I'm just curious as to what informs your decision to support different teams or countries on a whim? I mean most people stick with one, through thick or thin. Swapping about is sorta not really the done thing.

Definitely off her line and those have been retaken in this tourno. It was one of those pens that was definitely right but also unlucky. So yeah, inconsistent.

Pretty sure there's a very similar GIF from the Euros??

Got it!

The subs who came on did ok. James saw little of the ball but did make a few good passes when she got on the ball. Kelly was lively on the right wing. Right subs came on, but wrong players went off imho.

but they got precious little service second half, so maybe Daly and Russo wouldn't have got much change out of it either.

 

[Petcha]

Is that James Cleverley on stage?

Yes

They had some good balls in but no one there. Then they decide a striker is a good idea with 3 mins of normal time left....

Lol, I clicked on that and it warned me it might contain offensive or erotic material.

Damn right it does

 

[kittyP]

Yay Earps golden gloves

 

[newme]

How many referees are there lol

 

[Petcha]

Yes

Rishi clearly knew this wasnt gonna happen. He's good at dodging shit, let's give him that.

As I've said before.

I like watching football. I support the teams that I do because I've lived in the countries I support, England, Portugal, France and Spain.

In this case I supported Spain over England because it is my preferred country/team.

I'm English by birth, Spanish by choice.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Lovely to see the squad with big smiles and not petulantly removing their medals.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Great commentary there. "Infantino has managed to find his way down to the stage, through a lot of open doors".

 

[ruffneck23]

Ah well it's not like I'm not used to this and I have admit apart trom a couple of dodgy ref decisions, Spain were better

Yeh, this is where i am with it. Going to eat some weed and go for a walk now

 

[Petcha]

I love Sarina Wiegman. She's so so calm. I hope England can keep her.
