The Footie Thread

There's a rumour that Billy Gilmour will replace David Marshall in midfield for the England game

This is my favourite of the ones I've been sent ???

Yeah. But isn't it weird that the whole tournament hasn't been ruined by VAR yet? It's almost as if our officials were actually the problem all along... ?

now look what youve done, VAR strikes one out 3 mins into the next game!

Yeah but it was the right call wasn't it? I don't there's been any real crap ones where he was actually level yet.

 

[Orikoru]

Finland and Russia are both pretty rubbish. Probably the lowest quality game I've seen so far.

Edit: Curse of the commentator. And I'm not even one.

I'd say our CB options are better than their striker options

@Orikoru I'd say the same with our keepers. It's been said before but Pickford has never made a howler for England. Henderson could have pushed him this year but he largely sat getting splinters and is now out injured anyway.

All of the above are opinions of course.

Kyle Walker has been in goal.
That’s why they took him???

I hadn't looked at this thread for a week. I had a really good giggle skimming through the comments from the England "experts". Some real insights from the fella in the pub, top sources. I have more reliable sources in my kitchen cupboard, Heinz and HP. Bizarre mixture of negativity and exasperation - Sterling is a proven international player with a good recent record who fits the England playing style better than Sancho etc.

Some great observations too - I have identified the voices of reason!

If your spending time talking to tins in your cupboards your missing the match.

not sure which is worse, Arsenal reportedly offering 40m for Ben White or Brighton for turning it down!

actually its Villa thinking they can get Smith Rowe for £25m lol

Brighton are, for the amount of money they bring in, one of the most financially stable clubs around. Bloom, Barber and Ashworth run the club brilliantly.

Simply put, the don't want to sell Ben White and financially, they don't need to. Seems fair enough to me?

You didn't watch the Scotland game then? ?

I hate the stutter run up rubbish. When you can hit the ball like Bale just step up and hit it hard and accurately and your team's 2 up.

Firstly, they're all better than him but especially Donnarumma, Courtois & Lloris who are world class. Secondly, I'm kind of old school in that I like my keeper to keep the ball out of the net first and foremost. Having a good kick on him is nothing more than a bonus.

Gonna be controversial and say Lloris really isn't that good.

He got the ball but slid in from behind (between the attacker's feet). That is clearly not allowed and must be a penalty.

There's nothing in the laws to say you can't tackle from behind

 

[AmandaJR]

I would imagine the bosses at Juve are wondering where the Ramsey that has cost them £400,000 per game has been!

Ooooh, a little bit of passion and handbags ...................................... love it!

It may carry on after the full time whistle, too.
