[Football] World Cup - Day Fifteen... D-Day for England

[The Wizard]

This commentary pairing

 

[jcdenton08]

Dion Dublin - “I want to see more from Dembele” after 2 minutes. Wow.

 

[A1X]

Of all the teams in the last 16, Poland are by far the least inspiring so I wouldn’t care if they got battered TBH

 

[bhafc99]

For all this is a state-of-the-art, brand new purpose-built stadium, the main camera angle is a bit shit. Should be a lot higher up.

 

[A1X]

More empty seats than the East stand at the Amex on 89 minutes

 

[US Seagull]

Dion Dublin - “I want to see more from Dembele” after 2 minutes. Wow.

To be fair... he's not wrong

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

It looks a very middle class England support out there, either that or they have carefully selected the fans they interview on the box.

Where’s arse-flare-man when you need him?

 

[Icy Gull]

Poland look SO much better than they did against Argentina…so far

 

[Icy Gull]

If that challenge by the keeper had been on Messi..penalty

 

[Icy Gull]

Those saves…WOW!

 

[US Seagull]

How did Poland not score there?

 

[Steve in Japan]

BBC not exactly pushing the boat out with this commentary team. Monotone, dull and stilted. Dion "did I mention I used to play" Dublin.

 

[Icy Gull]

Just f*** off Dion

I do quite like him though

 

[US Seagull]

So now we gotta delay while this a hole takes his necklace off? FFS

 

[Icy Gull]

Another Albion cock up…not signing Giroud

 

[bhafc99]

Got to feel for the Poles a bit there. Best they’ve played all tournament, really should have scored, and then BAM - it’s probably all over now.

 

[Quebec Seagull]

Beauty by Giroud. Off-balance, not even looking at the goal -- his sniper's GPS just tells him where to stick it.

 

[jcdenton08]

I like Pochettino, he’s absolutely spot on in his assessment. France have been no great shakes.

 

[Curious Orange]

I have no sympathy, if their number 18 had held the line it'd have been offside.

... I'm just a bit grumpy as Junior Orange's team were holding an okay line first half today but were sitting too deep, and when told about it at half-time still sat too deep, lost the shape completely, and shipped five goals.

I agree. Which will take the edge off the atmosphere.
