[Football] Germany v England

[Shooting Star]

If we’d equalised against Palace with a dubious penalty this place would be full of laughing emojis and Palace wind ups.

Score against Germany that way and it seems to have triggered half of South East England.

It’s definitely high up in my Top 5 least favourite traits about NSC. If that had been Muzza we’d have been applauding how intelligent a striker he is.

Did you stand there arms crossed when Murray won a pen?

No but I booed very loudly when Ashley Barnes took one


















No I didn’t but plenty did on one occasion

I saw that, looked it to me!

Southgate outers trying to convince themselves Kane wasn't just booted in the calf to suit their agenda. It's just weird at this point. A because he didn't pick Dunk

I want Southgate out not because of what you have put but because our best player spent most of the match on the bench!

Exactly.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

The world would have been a very similar place without those 94 minutes of football.

100% fact...and I didn’t even bother watching it

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

Well, at least that very incisive Channel 4 commentary explains what the penalty was not offside and was stonewall.

 

[Robdinho]

I didn't think it was possible, but this Channel 4 coverage seems to have even more ad breaks than ITV

 

[dangull]

Kane was already way off balance, falling and the ball was running away. So he used his renowned acting skills to enhance the fall.

The TV commentary seems to agree with me

Who cares? We are Brighton fans and dislike that cheat Kane intensely. We happen to like Glenn Murray.

 

[Icy Gull]

I can’t say I enjoyed that and I won’t be watching the next two games

I'm not sure that either Bowen or Grealish can be described as England's best player unless your prism / terms of reference are incredibly narrow.

Bowen's had 1.25 glorified friendlies and Grealish flatters to deceive more than Graham Potter circa 2020.

Still have reservations about Southgate's tactical acumen, but the Grealish substitution came off so credit where it's due.

Only 37% possession, but 15 shots from that versus Germany's 10. Both had 6 on target.

Always a decent point in Germany, especially after the disappointment in Hungary.

Now it's time for a little payback on Saturday with Italy...

That reveals that the majority of British football supporters have morphed into selectively condoning cheating over the last 20 years or so.

There was a time when we all mocked the likes of Shearer spouting “Well, he invited the challenge” or “Well, there was the slightest of contact”.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Is it possible that he wasn't offside as he hadn't touched the ball?
I assume if you're fouled in an offside position, it's still a foul

In a worthwhile game yes. Issue here is this is a game set up to get the team/squad ready for a tournament and it's the disjointed way we are playing and the personnel being used. The result is secondary to the understanding between the players. and the tactics being adopted by the manager. Our defence had bigger holes in it than a Boris party explanation.

Speak for yourself. I’m a Brighton fan and I regard Kane as an England legend - even in a Spurs shirt.

It's in Wolverhampton on Saturday.

Well done. They'll certainly miss you.

See you for the Qatar World Cup where, despite England being shit, Southgate being shit, the whole tournament being a blood stained exercise in sports washing and ruining our domestic schedule, you'll nevertheless be watching the denouement, flag in hand, should we progress out of the group and into the part of the tournament the long term plan and it's young players are targeting.
