Loafer When was last time we had no English teams in the cl Semis? Must have been ages right?

URZZZZ Obviously they’re still world class talents but perhaps those suggesting England should win the Euros at a canter should perhaps look at the respective performances of Rice, Saka, Bellingham and Foden tonight as they were collectively disappointing!

Silver Fox I only followed the shootout on text but did I read right that Ederson took one of Citeh's penalties last night? That's quite the bottle hob from their outfield lads isn't it?

They are taken like that all the time though, and as long as the keeper dives then the commentators are telling us what a cool character the penalty taker is.

Greatwesternline I do sometimes wonder whether commentators are a bit dumb, or just stick to narratives because it makes their life easier

bit of both imo.
Same as when someone takes a pen that goes in and the replay shows it went at a very convenient height for a keeper and not that far to his side, but the keeper just went the other way, and the commentators go on about what a great pen it was.
I do think a lot of commentating (especially co-comms) is just about saying stuff that reflects the feel of what you are watching. How factual or correct it is is almost a secondary thing, its just meant to fit so as to enhance what you already felt

Was the best one, too. Thunderblasted it into the bottom corner.

Often makes me laugh when they say something was a foul, or should have been a corner, and then the reply shows they were wrong, and there is always an awkward silence, whereas if the reply show they were right, they double down in their exasperation.
No one would mind if they repeatedly said, oh look, ive changed my mind, the replay shows i was wrong. But they just rarely seem to do it.
