Is he winding us up?

The wind up tag should be those that can’t give any other player credit unless they play for their team and who criticise us even when we’re 2-0 up away to Italy

 

[Captain Flint]

That is one fugly stadium

‘bouncebackability’

is this the level of education in the north east

I heard that and thought WTF!

 

[give it to gordon]

Walker been decent enough after a wobbly start. Stones very good, very assured in everything he does. as usual in an england shirt he's getting a bit frustrated at having to tell rice where to be every single pass. Phillips had a good enough half, nothing standout but is doing everything asked of him well enough. Grealish having a mare. Misses an absolute sitter and was nowhere to be seen at the backpost earlier when a tap in awaits anybody who gets themselves into the back post as every winger should.

Calling kanes record goal immortality is fucking pushing it, fair play to him but the majority of his goals have been pens and against semi-pro trash, not as impressive when we're seeing international records broken all the time nowadays.

Funny I thought Grealish was doing ok and that Phillips was missing just jogging around lol

 

[BlueHammer85]

Are people really suggesting that wasn’t handball?

Same people that think VAR has ruined the game probably

Clear handball that would not have been given a few years ago

This is England's problem. In qualifying they do look like World Beaters. Its when it matters they have issues.

Why try and hit that with the outside of the foot.

He just tries to be too clever. He probably smacks them in nine times out of ten in training. Haaland shows how it should be done, don't try and look technically perfect, just hit the back of the net, that's all that matters.

Why try and hit that with the outside of the foot.

I think he just mistimed his swing and meant to hit it with his instep.
