[Football] Greece v England official match thread

[BN9 BHA]

The Greek manager looks like some nan from Eastenders.

I thought it was Bernie Ecclestone

Apparently England have only lost to a team twice in the same calendar year on four occasions.

Of course, I HAVE to work this out. I was thinking that we may have lost to Italy twice in 1976, and Croatia might be in there. Dunno. Any thoughts ? Ah, Belgium 2018. That's for sure. Italy 1990 ?

Belgium 2018 and Hungary 2022 are two of them.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Is it just me, or does this pitch look really narrow?

No It's not. Look at the 10 yard line from the corner flag. It the camera angle just like W Ham the peoples stadium.

Come Sunday they'll be saying how big the Wembley pitch is, like they say about OT. Funny thing is both are the average size, ours being one of them along with 15 others in the EPL

Weren’t talent spotted by Dougie Freedman.

They were talent spotted by Alf Ramsey.

Was about to say same thing

Is Gross really the slowest player in Germany? Surely it’s Kane?

Italy 1973 and Wales 1936 are the other two apparently.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Pliers bangs it in!

 

[Weststander]

Matterface … the home crowd got noisy for 2 minutes, so “I better start screeching and describing their forays forward as breathtaking”.

Crowd and Matterface narrative then shut down in a flash.

 

[US Seagull]

We are going up...we are going up

 

[World of Sport]

Ferguson gives away a penalty,
arm in a unnatural position.
Gets substituted, Kellerher saves the penalty.
All in the space of 5 minutes!

 

[hart's shirt]

Delightful from Curtis Jones!

What a debut goal!

 

[Guinness Boy]

That was liquid football.

 

[sir_gullahad]

brilliant

 

[BN9 BHA]

That goal is why we love football

 

[Hendrax]

Lovely goal

 

[Javeaseagull]

Get in! Tuchel out!

 

[jcdenton08]

Couple of lovely goals tonight, and I LOVE that celebration for the third that’s class

There is a touch of George Harrison in there too.
