I’ll have another go The Lionesses are the first senior England football team to reach a World Cup final since 1966 Hope this is ok with all the pedants

This is a football thread FFS.

They’re all shouting Go Spain outside the stadium apparently What a nation of tossers

England are in their first World Cup final since 1966

Excellent so good to beat them on their own midden

Don’t care what they call it. The game is football

Their defenders can’t deal with the long ball over the top

Soccer?????

Great goal but England should be winning

Should be 2-0. Bright missed free header

Good goal come on!!

Stanway should have buried that early chance

Nationals have been full of England stories right through the WWC and particularly since the quarters - great reading Decent piece on the BBC 10pm news tonight but the BBC were out of order last night. There is no news value in ManU v Wolves. Goods news editors are like good footballers - worth paying for. You're sacked

Never heard of previews? The build-up to big games?? News from the WWC England camp was on all the main networks, except the BBC, which chose to have a piece on ManU v Wolves The news editor needs a good bollocking

On another note, WTF was ManU v Wolves featured on the BBC 10pm news and the women's World Cup semi-final less than 48 hours from kick-off ignored? The WWC has attracted enormous interest while most people outside partizan supporters s of both clubs couldn't give two hoots about the game at Old Trafford A bizarre and poor editorial decision

As you know the years pass by in the blink of an eye as you get older. So 30 years ago seems like yesterday to me. It all goes quickly. Speedie and that cohort are to my mind very much in the modern mould and very different to the players of the early 1960s when I first started going to matches.

Tronstadt looks another Trybull to me , not offering much and bit well, what's the modern word..... meh? Certainly not a player to make a difference. The club were after O'Brien in January, the type of midfield enforcer we need. So where is his replacement?

Guardiola’s Barcelona always took short corners. Worked the ball back to the centre halves and started playing their boring tikka talks stuff again rather than risk giving the ball away by hitting it long across goal. Dull as ditchwater and not what I want to watch. I used to turn the TV off

It was a problem last season and it's going to happen right through this season too. Managers in this league know it and they know how to play against us None, but none, of the team's problems have been addressed in the summer transfer window. We still lack physical presence and we're still at least 2 strikers short.

If only - one of the best players to have pulled on a Rovers shirt in the modern era

Showing that he's better as a sub and not a starter

We need bigger, more physical, forwards, and not big like Gallagher who has all then physicality of a big girl's blouse Luton had big lump up front called Morris last season - perfect for what we need

Great drama, shame about the result....... now come on England

Brighton to receive British record £111m for Moises Caicedo That's third division Brighton, as in Hove Albion Caicedo joined Brighton from Ecuadorian side Independiente del Valle for £4m in February 2021 Over to you and your scouting team Gregg

I remember Coddington as a classic lower league English centre-half - uncompromising, tough as nails, hard in the tackle and would put his head in areas where many players would think twice about putting a foot. There's no way you'd call him skilful and he'd look at Rovers' present centre-halves playing the ball around at the back and wonder what the hell was going on but he was of his era and he was a good player for Rovers and I enjoyed watching him. RIP.
