[Football] England v Malta official match thread

[indy3050]

Kane ‘won’ a penalty there no doubt. Clever forward play and appalling decision.

 

[Weststander]

An Agincourt-esque volley of paper airplanes from very bored punters.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Dreadful from England

 

[dazzer6666]

Well that was a heap of shit.

 

[ManOfSussex]

Yes, sorry about that.

England to romp their way to the Euros with a tactical genius at the helm who's sought after by every Premier League chairman.

*removes tongue from cheek*

But we're 1-0 at Wembley against Malta. That's amazing.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Southgate is such a dullard

Chance to give Mitchell a go at Lb, plays a CB
Palmer should start ahead of Rashford
f***ing Henderson stinking the place out as well

 

[The Wizard]

Not normally a fan of that xG bollocks but as it fits my hatred of that buffoon Southgate, England are losing a game on xG to Malta, at home.

Not a shot on target at home to Malta ffs.

 

[St Leonards Seagull]

From watching Brighton to this, it makes my eyes hurt.
Shows the difference a good manager can make. They look lost, absolutely no gameplan.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Which is still a pen.... the keeper came flying out

Kane had control of the ball

Checked by var, not a clear and obvious error by the ref. If kane had decided to actually play football and not worm hunting, he probably could have put his skill and speed to use, but as I said, we see it differently

 

[The Hermit Kingdom]

Do me a favour!

He went down like he’d been shot by a sniper after engaging contact with the keeper.

Classic Kane simulation. Good to see some refs and VAR know his game.

100%, even bends his left leg to start his ‘descent’ before there is any contact. Never a penalty.

 

[hart's shirt]

So at half-time, England are 1-0 up at home against the 171st ranked team.

Footballing behemoths currently ranked above Malta include Fiji, Cuba, Vanuatu, South Sudan and St Lucia.

The biggest cheer was when a paper aeroplane landed on the pitch.

 

[Eric the meek]

Dreadful first half. There's no invention from England. I could go on, but what's the point?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Checked by var, not a clear and obvious error by the ref. If kane had decided to actually play football and not worm hunting, he probably could have put his skill and speed to use, but as I said, we see it differently

So VAR is good now?

 

[The Wizard]

If I kick the ball in front of me and leave my foot there and someone boots my ankle off because I didn’t move it, it’s still a foul, it’s not on the player with the ball to avoid contact.

 

[Is it PotG?]

I feel for the poor suckers who splashed out and made the effort to be entertained by this dross.

Fair play to them.

 

[Weststander]

Going against the grain, that was a contrived and unnatural collision, glad it was called a non-pen. That type of winning a pen crept in over recent years, some call it an art form, I call it cheating.

Admittedly and sadly, that’s a pen 90% of the time in the PL, unless we’re the attacker.

 

[Eric the meek]

The Premier League produces the fastest, best, most intense football in the world (as long as Palace aren't involved).

Why can't we reproduce that intensity at international level?

 

[ManOfSussex]

Jules Breach is just lovely though.

coz Southgate isn’t capable

Overrated.
