Re: Match #32: Czech Republic vs England (8pm, Tuesday 22nd June)

is there another nation in Europe with realistic ambitions of winning the whole tournament that is talking about deliberately finishing runner up to plot an "easier route"? Do you think the Germans would be playing for a draw against Hungary in order to avoid us and get the Netherlands? I...

Re: The problem with England...

Well that's how our group worked out mate, but some of the others have some amazing permutations. The Danish group yesterday was all over the place. Groups E and F look brilliantly poised as well. You get meaningless games in all tournaments. Just because our specific game is a bit nothingy doesn't...

Re: Declan Rice

Against Scotland, none of those three looked so effective. One of Rice or Philips should have made way for a more attacking/creative option. Probably Grealish much as I hate the diving cheat. I think we could have put Calvert Lewin up top and let Kane play a little deeper as he does for Spurs. Woul...

Re: Match #32: Czech Republic vs England (8pm, Tuesday 22nd June)

I was a bit disappointed about working tonight and missing the game. After finding out we have already qualified then I'm really not bothered. 1 - 1 Same, I'm having needles stuck in my shoulder shortly before kickoff, I was worried I might miss the game and now I couldn't give a flying one any whi...

Re: The problem with England...

Goes to show what an absolute ****ing joke the expanded tournament is. If only the top 2 went through then you'd have us and the Cechs going at it to avoid defeat because a win for either Croatia or Scotland could see one of us not qualify. The Cechs having drawn with Croatia would go out if they lo...

Re: The Johnson Government 2019-2024

It says for decades. Which obviously includes the last one. It's also slightly disingenuous to use the "levelling up" against the Conservatives given it was only introduced as a campaign slogan 2 years ago and frankly the time since then has had a few "distractions" to deal with...

Re: The problem with England...

Let's where we finish in July. If we go out with a whimper in the last 16 then the criticism will be fair. Should we get to another semi final, a lot of you need to line up against a wall and let Southgate do his worst :crylol: https://youtu.be/MRclQ-V06FE?t=4m55s probably not much... This smacks o...

Re: Declan Rice

Very few people understand what he does and what a great DM he is. DM rarely get talked about in good light and are always underrated Trouble is Rice isn't playing for Man U, Man City, Chelsea or Liverpool so their fans dislike him. He isn't a youtube player, he is not going to do fancy tricks to g...

Re: Shamima Begum can't return to UK (updated)

I do agree that she should be punished, and that she has been an adult for the majority of her time in ISIS. But if this was a 15 year-old girl who was groomed by a peadophile, I think we'd have more sympathy. She should be punished, but we also need to look at how she was brought into this and why...

A fit Henderson would provide that Sadly all we've got is one that hasn't played since February... The real problem with England is expectation and a lack of realism.

Re: Brexit referendum result aftermath

More immigration from India could still be less immigration couldn't it? Tbh those opposed to Brexit seem to be the ones obsessed with immigration. Our "non EU migration" was always pretty high, almost always higher in fact. https://fullfact.org/media/uploads/Net_migration_by_nationality....

Despite those pictures of her and the other 2 Mosqueteers leaving of their own free will. Maybe there was a massive Twat Magnet on the Turkey / Syria border and they just couldn't help themselves.

Re: England Managers

This is true. Not only is he the Captain, he is the player with the most robust goalscoring record, and the alternatives don't have the same capacities that he does. He is a total centre forward who can have a poor game and still score a poachers goal. To drop him would be to play to the gallery. H...

Re: The refereeing and officiating in this tournment

It's all well and good saying its been brilliant officiating this tournament but I notice they don't show us the lines and stuff we get in the Premier league. In true UEFA style, we just have to take their word for it. Would people prefer that in the Premier league? They've shown it a couple of tim...

Re: The refereeing and officiating in this tournment

Thought the ref last night got a little whistle happy and at the same time failed to book some of the heavier tackles. It was a difficult game to ref and the players didn't make it easy for him but I think he could have let a lot more go, which has been a common theme in this tournament. I also thou...

Re: The Johnson Government 2019-2024

Imo he was a populist but how often was he described as such? The one time I am aware of led to a number of articles explaining we had all been using the term incorrectly and he wasn't populist because he didn't want to jail Theresa may. The contorted logic also meant almost no one was, including J...
