England v Brazil | Friendly | Match Thread

[Norbert D]

The Brazil manager looks like Chubby Brown.

 

[jimharri]

Well fuck me, I never knew Jimmy Floyd Hasslebaink was a coach for England.

 

[paulchapo]

Brazilian wankers getting engaged on telly.

Welcome to modern football

It reminds me of the old Chelsea headhunter Jason Marriner when he was asked about modern football a few years ago.
"Modern football?? Modern facking football??? Kids with painted faces, candy floss, curly coloured wigs......what the fack is that all about???"

So i see phil still as the bandage on his hand and it looks like a rigid one, so i am thinking he could have Dupuytren's contracture. Dupuytren's contracture is when 1 or more fingers bend in towards your palm. There's no cure, but your fingers can be straightened if it's severe.

Or, he wore it in a game out of necessity, had a stormer and now keeps wearing it for luck ?

 

[Blu1]

He's the best defender in country.

Literally can play 2 positions for Engerland. His own and covering Slabby.

Yes agree but I don’t want him playing in a pointless game

 

[paulchapo]

Get that fucking thug off!

 

[Alexia_Ko]

It must be so frustrating for Foden, Rice and Bellingham to be playing with Gallagher

 

[SebastianBlue]

Paqueta’s second foul on the yellow.

His family must be fuming right now.

 

[Tb1981]

Paquetta now on 7 fouls

 

[Nellies left peg]

How dare you doubt Southgate's managerial skills?

Calling bluehammer 85, please come and justify this England team selection.Gallagher, Chilwell slabhead and Pickford are fucking wank

 

[IronsideKozuch]

It’s all gonna end in tears again for England at the euro’s ..

Come on, whose there to really be favourites against England? France. Otherwise they can do it. Spain and Portugal strong, Germany should but has not been lately, maybe Netherlands and Belgium. England and France main favourites for me.

 

[super_city_si]

I genuinely think part of Southgate’s approach is informed by trying to avoid being accused of copying Pep.

Which means he just employs a shite setup and shite tactics so he can be seen as being his own man.

Possibly. But the top 3 teams in England all invert defenders, 2 of them clealry copying pep. They do it cos it fucking works.

 

[stan bowles]

Paqueta must be fluent in English the amount of times he's spent apologising to England players he's fouled.

 

[Tb1981]

It must be so frustrating for Foden, Rice and Bellingham to be playing with Gallagher

He has lots of energy
Nothing at all else though

 

[hertsblue]

Jimmy Floyd Hasslebank, a failed manager who resigned with his Burton Albion bottom of the table is now a coach with England, wow.
England are just an international Wimbledon, a set piece team

 

[remember arthur mann]

Magliar is such a balloon.

 

[bondsman]

Will Gallagher’s mustache have grown in by the euros

 

[bridgeno1]

Florian Wirtz scored after 9 seconds for Germany against France in Paris!

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

To be fair, they’re not there to be coached, they get that from their clubs. It is down to the manager to assess each one as an individual and utilise their strengths, mitigating their weaknesses, to create a system that gets the best of the individual qualities which is effective within the team.

Does Southgate do that?

No. And what you’ve described is actually coaching tbf!

 

[levets]

Fuck me, they’re really trying to talk up this game aren’t they? Piss poor for me.
