[Football] Ireland v England official match thread

[Durlston]

wonderful football. reminds more of the arsenal of old.

What? 2003/04? Henry, Ljungberg, Pires, Bergkamp, Vieira, Reyes?

Behave!

Rice is having a superb game

Well he’s got next weekend off

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Lee Carsley sings what he wants!!

 

[Guinness Boy]

Gordon looking great out of possession as well as in. He knows Coleman’s shite. His press trigger is basically them passing to Seamus

 

[Flounce]

Blimey, I am actually enjoying watching England play, it’s been a long time

 

[Worried Man Blues]

The value of the ball over the top

I was just about a to post the same thing. 35 minutes gone, and I’m not wondering what’s on the other side.

This is NOT a vintage Ireland side. In fact, it’s a very poor one.

We’ve looked good but wasn’t uncommon to see something like this under Southgate against a minnow in qualifying, so I think some are getting a BIT ahead of themselves and just want to stick the boot in on one of the greatest ever England managers.

Ruislip flag at the back, anyone we know?

Bertie Mee, Charlie George, Bob McNab, George Graham, jumpers for goalposts.
Marvellous!!

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Pathetic Anthony Gordon.

 

[Jeremiah]

Ireland seem to have taken the Crawley approach to football. Kick anything that moves.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Good half, but, my word, Ireland are shit.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Credit to Lee Carsley.

People have said Kane needs runners around him and Carsley has provided that with Gordon, Saka and Grealish. The second goal was liquid football.

But, crucially, England have been fun to watch. So far, so good.
