[Football] Nations League: England V Iceland

[The Wizard]

Quite amusing that Grealish didn’t get selected all that time, looks shoulders above most of our midfielders as a ball carrier and player.

This could be a rout, Iceland look utterly dire. England smashing small teams whilst losing to anyone good, Groundhog Day.

 

[Eeyore]

Looks like an angry England team with ants in their pants v Iceland's reserve team.

Could be like listening to TMS if they get it right.

 

[The Wizard]

Maguire skinning people and threading passes through

 

[Is it PotG?]

Tyler trying to make it sound exciting with the occasional 'AND IT'S LIVE' commentary volumes.

About time he moved on.

3-0 it is then.

Excellent - Grealish is starting. Let's hope he gets a mild injury that keeps him out on Saturday.

That’s three starts for England in a week.

Fingers crossed he’ll be a bit tired come the weekend.

He screams at the wrong moments.

Not too loud for the goals, then an incredible outburst of “FODEN”.

His EPL Super Sunday propaganda will still on about 65 minutes.

Out of interest why is the three letter name in the score field ISL and not ICL........

We are playing Iceland not Israel

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Couple of injuries in that lot.

Iceland have let key players go. Can't see why he would put out the best available anyway.

Because he’s an idiot

Has rice played all 3 games? West Ham must be delighted.

 

[The Wizard]

This hogging from Kane

 

[Is it PotG?]

Turn the volume down, whack on a piece or two from one of Iceland's finest...(RIP).

Both will be off at HT - Grealish and Rice

 

[timbha]

Anyone else think it looks like the Chelsea Pensioners sitting either side of the players tunnel?

 

[Silverhatch]

Football has lost its soul when the ‘system’ keeps a talent like Grealish out of the national team. Lamptey would not look out of place on this pitch too.

 

[Eeyore]

3-0 it is then.

These are a good team.

Icelandic for Iceland is Island hence ISL not ICE

Cheers, understand now

I was just thinking how much Saka reminds me of Lamptey at LWB, could be the future of the England team.

Yeah, I'm struggling to muster up any enthusiasm for football at the moment. I haven't watched anything since the Burnley match. I really couldn't give a s*** about the Nations League or international friendlies and I'm not even sure I'll watch the Villa match on Saturday as I'll probably be going out for a long run instead.

Likewise. In 50 years of watching the game I have never felt such lack of interest as now. Maybe it’s the Covid affect but mostly I put it down to other factors such as the absurdity of VAR, fixtures all over the place, general greed in the game and teams that are just a mish mash of average overseas players. Call me an old fossil but I just can’t relate to it anymore.
