Apparently Mbappe suffers with that mask. If so, why play him?. Surely another attacker ( Giroud?) at 100% would be better than Mbappe at 75%? I dunno He's that special 75% is probably better than 100% of anyone else. That mazy run and shot (just over) a few minutes ago was fantastic. Acceleration ...

Wakner

Thought was ok to say, but caught by the Oxfords

Looked like the oxf*rd sign

I don't blame Foden, he's out of position and can't play with any freedom like he does at City. I take your point but if we are playing with wingers then we need to play actual wingers there imo. Oh, we need to play with a left side. Foden should be in Bellingham's place. Then you decide whether to...

But what are you actually being penalised for with a handball like this? Seeking to gain an advantage? Can't be that because it clearly wasn't deliberate and no-one could argue his hand was in an unnatural position - it's exactly where it should be when running. There seems to be a basic disconnect...

All this VAR is ruining football is just nonsense. OMG, they're correctly and accurately applying the laws of the game fairly quickly. Ignoring the closeness of the offside, for over 100 years the basic principle in handball decisions has been intent - handball had to be deliberate to be given (the...

Yeah the mrs just said to me I’m usually more animated. I said I’m numb to it. Don’t really care. ’average’ players who happen to be playing alongside world-class players in their club teams?….it’s been said before. Scratch the “30 years of hurt”….make that 60 :| My Italian mate this morning said i...

Weird. I don't feel anything right now. Usually I'd be nervous, gutted. Nothing Yeah the mrs just said to me I’m usually more animated. I said I’m numb to it.

The only good news for me is that this will surely be the end for Southgate...

Maybe there are so many players he could take off he just can't decide

From what's been given there is no question that's a yellow and he's off

Looked well off in real time

[quote="Brogue"]How can we get it so wrong. we have so many good players. It an achievement to be so shit with such good players.[/quote

It really is

Somehow we have a team of players who look so unsure of themselves, Rice the only exception

Georgia did us a favour there. No England v Netherlands match up. Based on what I've seen there isn't a lot in it between the Dutch and Slovakia. Both fairly shite. In fact I'd go as far to say the Netherlands might have suited us better, they'll try and play football against England and leave gaps...

That's a quality finish with less than 60 seconds to go

Pretty grim as there seems to have been no statement that he is OK yet https://apnews.com/article/varga-injury-hungary-euro-2024-6b761a2ef4fcb895e5dcb2091a3b4313 BBC just said he is conscious Just read that he waved to supporters from the stretcher before he left the stadium Makes the decision to c...

6ft Kerplunk

bcubed Not sure how they haven't given that

Armstrong looked like he might have been offside from the through ball. Maybe they've checked that so no need to then look at overturning the penalty decision.

That would make sense

What is the event they are saying that UEFA showed the replay of but BBC cut away? What was that? Hungary are the one team I want to crash out, awful country seemingly full of awful people. Hungarian player at the very least knocked out, at worse dead. Pretty grim as there seems to have been no sta...

Seemed to jump into the defender looking for it and one angle showed he had hold of the Hungarian shirt. Thought that ref did well. When you think how many penalties are given for the slightest contact that was a rugby tackle Footballers are con artists and sometimes they get caught out. Of course ...

That is not a penalty. Cheating b*stards...just like 78. Definite pen and I'm happy for them to lose Seemed to jump into the defender looking for it and one angle showed he had hold of the Hungarian shirt. Thought that ref did well.
