Blow-in

Maybe there is a very small decimal point you can't see.

First time the England front line has not looked like the old man indoor team in Father Ted.

Well obviously he cant, or he would have made a change.

What is the logic of bringin Shaw? We are at the knockout phase and he has not even made a sub appearance?

Slovakia sitting back very early.

Spaletti says "hold my moretti!"

Surely Bellingham in the middle with Rice. That frees up the no.10 position for Foden and in turn makes space on the left for the Newcastle winger whose name escapes me. If Bellingham cannot pull strings from. Midfield maybe he is not the world beating superstar that he is being portayed as The only issue might be that the last easy game to trial this might be behind you now.

I don't mind them representing England especially Grealish as I can only imagine how irritating he would be as the one top class player in an Ireland team. But maybe don't have your picture taken kissing the badge just before you jump ship?

Damn you auto correct 😂

All good points, the main ones being huge competition in Ireland for sports with Garlic games. The abysmal running of the FAI. Huge corruption meaning what little money the govt gave them was misappropriated. Just look at the farcical search for a manager 6 months in and they are going to end up giving it to John O'Shea by default. What sort of mandate does that give him to make changes? And what message is that to young players coming through? Glad we are not at the tournament as I would be embarrassed.

The fees will be "undisclosed" and no matter what sort of shite comes in, Chaddy will just say "fees were undisclosed prove that we didn't spend 7m on 3 36 year old centre forwards with 5 legs and 6 goals between them in the last 4 years, and a 16 year old loanee from Southampton" and on and on it will spin people saying we didn't, and Chaddy saying prove it.

Are we sure they didn't represent us in court somewhere and we have been unable to pay the bill and this is the compromise? I am only half joking 😞

Also Jack invented the high press.

Could be?? It was a the best of times.

Mike Basset.

I think I agree, I don't see Wharton getting a game under Southgate and I think Bellingham is so good he can play anywhere. Kane needs pace around him.

The point he was making was that the English press had set the lad up as a world beater and he isn't, he is a really good player. Bellingham is a world beater, noone else in the team really qualifies, maybe kane but in the current style England play he is effectively Englands Jordan Rhoades scores too many goals to drop but is not contributing.

Wash you mouth out with soap, Whaton is nothing like Kalvin-Philips!!

James McClean is not going to get a fair hearing on here, and for what its worth I wouldn't be a fan either, but to say no-one is saying Declan Rice is world class is bollox, the English press has spent the season comparing Rodri and Rice and if most people eventually opt for Rodri it is always very close (Stick to Foorball Podcast did it recently) And no, this is not sour grapes I know he played for Ireland all through his youth career but we have been represented by a significant amount of players who no more saw themselves as Irish than the queen did (Andy Townsend) and, you were willing to take Grealish off our hands so we owe you!! 🙂

I was saying Booo-urns!!!

The insurance dog? I think he does, "oh yes!!!"

Ironically with some pace and forward movement TAA might have had something to look for with Watkins up front.

Ericson looks like he is blowing out his ass time to get him off. TAA does not work if there is no-one bombing forward to receive the long corssfield passes, I feel a bit sorry for him because he is a one trick pony and England are playing slow and ponderous. Anyway you won't see him again but it will be Rice/Gallagher for the rest of the tournament Cannot see Wharton getting any gametime unless you win this and he gets 20 mins at the end of the last group game. Either way England will top this group, get a handy passage to the QF and that is where the tournement starts.

That goal from Shakiri must be up there as goal of the tournament.

You can imagine the agent talking to waggot "With his metal leg it is now unbreakable!!"
