[Football] England v Italy UEFA Euros qualifier 7.45

Novel one for me - If you have to be stuck in a hospital

Sorry to hear in you're in hospital watching this. However bad this for you will never beat me in 1993 when I was still 14. I had my tonsils out in the morning (which is literally like having your throat ripped out) and then watched England lose 2-0 in Oslo on my side in my hospital bed as I'd had a suppository inserted into me for the pain......

You’ve kept watching that long

Last ITV programme I watched was 30 years ago, to be fair.

I'm still to be convinced that we can get consistently excellent results whilst playing De Zerbi Ball. But when you watch this, supposedly two of the best teams in International football, you really realise how exceptional a lot of the football we currently play is. It's seems on another level.

These are the most recent Euros finalists and I’m watching going “our best starting XI coached by De Zerbi could beat either team”.

Phillips showing his lack of game fitness now but Southgate leaves him on

Kane cheating again Quelle surprise

British police getting batoned by Italian thugs (bottom left of video) make them understand what it’s like to be an English fan abroad at least

I commented our first touch is better than most of the England team. Our passing more accurate too, although I accept a national team doesn’t have the experience of training with the same team mates week in and week out.

A blade of grass downs Kane, oh how it must have hurt

 

[A mex eyecan]

i think Kane needs to see a neurosurgeon. He gets clipped on this ankle yet falls to the floor holding his knee

This is the best programme on ITV I have seen for about 30 years.

JIm Bowen, for half an hour, staying in the red, out of the black, and the chance of a speedboat is much better than most England games.

 

[The Wizard]

I don’t know what we did to deserve this nonsense for 90 minutes, it’s tepid, dull as dishwater bilge.


And that’s just Dion Dublins commentary.

Had you called for that extra pain? Very 'accomodating', the NHS back then

You should check out Celebrity Karaoke on Roller Skates hosted by Ant N Dec on ITVX. You’ll thank me later. Promise.

 

[Icy Gull]

Are you suggesting they found it?

I missed the first 20 minutes . . .(but based on my lifetime, I doubt much changed)

We totally dominated the first half, I thought we might see a four or five nil

The fact he leaps like a gazelle on crack also amazes me. His pain receptors must be all over the place

…what I’m finding curious is how you are watching the game on ITV…I’m on C4

 

[dangull]

Maguires neanderthal challenge on the Italian player on the build up to the goal sums it up. Dunk may have done better?
I Blame him for the France goal that put England out of the last World C up as well

Lol - too much information

I don’t mind the hospital bed but the fact I paid over £7 quid for the pleasure of watching Championship league level football on a machine that looks like a 1980s Amstrad monitor with a picture quality to match

Isn't it the same thing?
I'm a BBC and 'Dave' man.

 

[The Fits]

Also, think we played well first half, but Italy look way off don't they?

 

[Guinness Boy]

F**king hell, this is like a different game now. Anyone remember that away game at QPR under Hughton around Christmas time when you just knew Charlie Austin would equalise? This is basically that.
