LondonHMFC Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Just into the office now, have had time to calm down after last night's events. Now trying to work out what my favourite moment was, 5 - Mark Saggers sounding close to tears at the final whistle, his only audible mumbling's being "Young Lions" 4 - Slaven absolutely schooling Hoddle in regards to tactics. Hoddle is as outdated as the muller rice in the back of my fridge 3 - The bloke who has just sat beside me who has said "I actually thought we could do it" 2 - Luka Modric's comments 1 - Roy Keane absolutely TELTING Ian Wright.

nsr Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Barring the unlikely event of Griezmann or Mbappe scoring 4 goals in the final (or Lukaku getting a hat trick in the 3rd place play off), Duke Harold of Kanebridgeshire will at least be top scorer. That'll put him on the shortlist of all the big European clubs (it probably won't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't give anymore greenies as I lost my shit last night, but indeed that was excellent. Also Jason Cundy on Talksport calling about eight callers "Scum" because they questioned why they should be proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitburn Vale Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Tyldsley is a class 1 clown !! Any chance he can get lost up a cave in Thailand somewhere,with no hope of rescue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Largely because almost none of the big teams lived up to their reputation. True, but none of the traditionally lesser teams really did anything either.

19QOS19 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Have to say (maybe Unpopular Opinions for this pish) that Guy Mowbray has been the only commentator/analyst not to boil my piss this tournament. He shouted just as much in the highlights last night for every goal. I mean he shouted that wee bit more when the free-kick went in but he still reacted well to Croatia's goals. Compare it to that fucking tosser Tyldsley's reaction to the winner - a totally deflated "and that will likely send Croatia through" and he was definitely bearable.

Menzel Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Honestly thought they were going to go on to the final. I am incredibly hungover, and relieved, right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 England are fairly predictable in that they will almost always beat lesser sides and almost always lose to better sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 6 hours ago, Duncan Freemason said: Its the English way to know but ignore the simple fact that they played two sides either above or around them in the world rankings, and were beaten in both of those games. They seek to qualify the Belgium game in two ways.....they made 8 changes, but chose to more or less ignore that Belgium made 9. They then grasp at the straw of “we didn’t want to win the game”. If England had been allowed to simply handpick their group and knockout opponents in some sort of WC fantasy, it would have differed little from what they actually got. At the end of the day, they played 6 games. They won 4 (one on penalties), and lost 2. So out they deservedly go. This. Many times over. Their run is like a Championship team getting to the Scottish Cup final by beating a Highland League side, a couple of League One sides, and another Championship side. It's a good achievement, because you can only beat what's in front of you, but it doesn't mean they're suddenly capable of taking on the very best teams.

dorlomin Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 In 1990 it was 24 years since England won a world cup. In 2018 it is 28 years since 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 That Modric interview is what I imagine crack is like. You could watch it endlessly. A player they're nowhere near producing the likes of. Telling them why they're constantly so wrong. All with a little smug grin forcing its way onto his beautiful, hideous face. What a boy.
