[Football] Sweden v Ukraine

[Bry Nylon]

It’s like watching Wimbledon vs Mansfield Town in a 1990s FA Cup third round replay

 

[big nuts]

It's the straight leg, and the position of the foot which is the issue.

He didn’t have much choice though, he was on the stretch. Just very unfortunate the player got injured. You see so many clearances like that in a typical game, just without the injury.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Both teams giving it everything. Sweden will have psychological edge if they get through to pens after going down to 10 men.

The TV directors that filmed Erikson?

The coverage does seem to be less compassionate to its audience for this tournament.
I'm now seeing a poor Swedish defender get kneed in the face in super slow motion.
I wonder if it's a computer or algorithm that directs things these days.

But without the quality and finesse.

but most of those are pointing the toe, not the full studs. its the flat foot that does the damage and is not allowed.

121 minutes.....wow

 

[Washie]

Ukraine nick it at the end

 

[Razzoo]

Great ball in. Bring on the Ukrainians

 

[Poojah]

FFS. That’s the second time today I’ve gone for a piss and missed a massive goal.

[Sheebo]

Perfect hopefully …

 

[Gabbafella]

Ukraine it is then. Probably my preferred team out of the two.

 

[Washie]

That's going to give Ukraine a lot of energy for our game. Croatia played a day later and went to penalties and then beat us so.......

 

[Pevenseagull]

if that had been in the Prem early last season they would still be looking at it and have eventually called it offside.

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

Wow.
What a battling game that was.
Sweden play some good football but I think we would have coped with them.
Ukraine do have a toughness about them that I am concerned about.
They can't be taken lightly.

 

[Weststander]

Deserved in the end imho.

Sweden seemed so conservative, defending in big numbers. Hughtonesque.

Ukraine weren’t eye catching, but looked to create openings.

FFS, uncomfortable few days in my house coming up.

England V Ukraine

Will Gareth play a back 3 again, to deal with Ukraine's wingbacks?
