International Footy

Rio Ferdinand not impressed by the handling of the situation.
Difficult to comment without knowing exactly what went on

The crowd booed Gomez when he was sent on. Kind of backs up my opinion the Southgate shouldn't 'have made meat of one and fish of another' and should instead have left them both out!
Anyway england brushed aside Montenegro with a 7-0 hammering to qualify for the Finals with ease. Brilliant eh? But what the press / media / public need to realise is that the entire population of Montenegro is about the same as the population of Leeds!

 

[Drog]

Just to add to this bolox it now turns out that Southgate offered Gomez and his family counselling after the match because of the booing!!!! FFS I want bloody men to pull on the england shirt not Namby pamby precious little darlings! Wtf is the world coming too?

 

[Drog]

79 mins 1-0 up. Billy Big heads England have been that poor I'm actually willing Kosovo to score!
Hudson odoi (who?) couldn't pass wind tonight let alone a football! Rice and winks aren't up to the mark either. If any of em played for Norwich / Watford etc they'd get nowhere near the team. Kane and sterling appear disinterested too whilst mings and maguire are playing like strangers.

 

[Drog]

Cue the appearance of rashford and mount to bring some quality to the situation and inspire a little urgency in sterling and Kane. What a difference! 4-0 and a spirited Kosovo put to the sword.

Ft and the kosovan manager disappears down the tunnel without shaking hands with southgate. A distinct lack of class and manners but who cares?

The Kosovan manager may have lacked class but their fans were first class . England tends to be disliked throughout the world , but it appears the Kosovans welcomed the team and the fans with open arms, due to the work carried out by the RAF who helped to defeat Milosevic .

FIFA to introduce a cap for agent earnings.
Surprise, surprise they ain't happy

Now this is a game worth watching again this Sunday 31st at 3pm.

World Cup Rewind - watch Germany hammer hosts Brazil

This weekend we are giving you the chance to relive Germany's 7-1 thrashing of Brazil at the 2014 World Cup in full.

www.bbc.co.uk

I remember watching it live on television and couldn’t believe what I was seeing!

 

[Drog]

ditto! The hordes of perennial Brazil worshipping press and media commentators were in a state of deep shock weren't they? Everyone else thought it was bloody hilarious.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

The perfect example of ruthless Teutonic efficiency. It was great!

 

[Drog]

How will clubs with players on international duty go on? For example will Lenihan be required to quarantine for two weeks after trips to Bulgaria and Slovakia should the govt (and even BRFC) decide that they are high risk nations?
I would have thought common sense would have seen international fixtures to be amongst the first casualty's of the Coronavirus pandemic.

After seeing the crap that Maguire has got himself in by behaving stupidly abroad they still have no more sense than act daft too! I think being thick has become synonymous with being good at football! If I was Southgate I'd make it compulsory for all England players travelling abroad bring their mothers with them. Or even better their Grandmothers!

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Rooney doesn’t play for England anymore pal.

I see England are playing Denmark this evening; A team that, like Iceland, is just about our level these days.

 

[Drog]

Bit harsh that tbh Husky. You were similarly disparaging about England's Cricketers chances before they thumped the Aussies I recall. You aren't Scottish are you by any chance?

Brainless cricket from England in the end. This whole 'we will bowl as crap as we want (short to a small legside boundary) and chase down anything' was always going to catch up with them in the end.
One wonders what the hell the bowling coach is getting paid for as they kept on making the same mistakes.

It was a good job that the Pakistan wicketkeeper took mercy on Ali and didn't bother stumping him or it would have been a 30+ run massacre.

It was entertaining, but one of those games where the score made the game look closer than it ever was.

Aussies are up next. I don't know about you guys but i'm still concerned England are a bit over-rated in that people keep saying we bat deep, but I can hardly remember a game where any of the lower order has made a significant contribution and helped win a game.
It goes to show just how important a genuine all-rounder like Stokes is in a team.

I don't think we'll be seeing Gregory in an England shirt again and maybe Billings has had it as far as T20 is concerned too.

Is there a ku klux klan convention in Copenhagen this week?

The only thing that needs to be added to my 1:39pm comment is:

Bring back Big Sam, all is forgiven.
