England v New Zealand - Sat 6th June, 21:00 | Friendly

[Blue Bogey]

Who is Ngumoah?

16 year old Liverpool academy prospect.

 

[Ho Chi Man City]

Just ordered a new telly for the World Cup.
After this game I might cancel it lol

Hope it comes with Matterface/Dixon noise cancelling headphones.

 

[cleavers]

Or we’ve finally got a manager who has picked a squad based on form rather than the media’s favourites.

LOL, have you seen some of the squad ?

 

[I'm Blue]

Hope it comes with Matterface/Dixon noise cancelling headphones.

Or a brick proof screen : )

 

[SamBlue]

Apart from Toney for Kane the second half line up is better. There should be an improvement in the performance.

Much better!

 

[remember arthur mann]

Is Toney signing for the rags, he's never off the deck. Probably taking diving lessons off penandes.

 

[west didsblue]

Fair point

Hope it comes with Matterface/Dixon noise cancelling headphones.

Matterface is a completely unsuitable person to be behind a microphone.

I know people are skeptical of anything modern but they learned that more time was lost to players slowing down, more stoppages and onboarding water incidentally than would be lost by just having the drinks break. That was part of the reason they did it. Plus we didn’t have any of the knowledge of hyponatremia in the 90s that we do now.

Literally dozens of kids died in the US playing their summer egg-type football before they realised how big a problem it was and tightened up the regulations around hydration.

I get that people have nostalgia but I think sometimes they romanticise the wrong things. I have no problem with prioritising the health of players.

I have no problem with drinks break at all

I have a big problem with American commentator/reporters referring to the game in “quarters” like I have seen this evening

“USMNT 1 GER 2 in the 3rd quarter”

Absolutely fucking no to that NO

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Then you'd agree all the games you played in evening, or indoors in an air conditioned environment.
Its all possible.

Of course that’s preferable, but realistically that would preclude many countries from hosting it and I think even more people would be complaining about 2am games than about the drinks breaks.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Is Chris Killen on the bench?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

This might be worse than Soccer Aid.

 

[CΛL]

About 3 minutes of action for every 10 minutes here

Yes bin that off. Also half-time shows.

Also they should ban advertising during drinks breaks if they want to dispel the idea it is just done for commercial interests and not player safety.

Lol

 

[brummie blue]

These prices are ridiculous

Glazers for you.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Fancy playing a 34 year old in that heat.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

No Liverpool players in the squad just mentioned. Presumably Liverpool don’t consider themselves to be in England. Or we’ve finally got a manager who has picked a squad based on form rather than the media’s favourites.

Isn’t this Rio lad a scouser

 

[TShed]

Matter face reckons 25k are rammed into this quarter full stadium ffs

 

[johnny crossan]

Watching Dan Burn run with the ball reminds me of John Wayne
