Mr. Brightside Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Gary Lineker isn't taking it well on Twitter. He's managed to get himself involved into several spats with Tory MP's. Bizarre.Tbf he’s not wrong about politicians jumping on the bandwagon, particularly Tories. David Cameron couldn’t even remember who he “supports”.

19QOS19 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I think England are a level above painfully average, to be fair. Sweden I would say are precisely that. Columbia too. I wouldn't say they were found out against Croatia, either. For an hour, England were the better side. For the first half, they were comfortably the better side. If they had gone in two or three up, nobody would have regarded that as unfair. I think the manager got out-managed in the last 30 and extra time though. Southgate is a good guy. He really didn't deserve to be treated like a joke figure after his time as a club manager.It's been pointed out already but how they could have been 2 or 3 up without hitting the target the whole half would have been some achievement. Once again it was a game where they created no clear chances from open play apart from two offside efforts by Kane. How does a manager get out managed? They were beaten because Croatia were the better side and eventually got the winner. They could and should have had the game killed off before extra-time. At no point in the game did England have enough pressure that they could have killed the game off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 By the end of BBC Breakfast, they had convinced me that they had actually won the thing. Golden Boot, Best Behaved Supporters, World Cup, Best Goalkeeper, Best Socks...all won by England. Thank God for the lunchtime news and the balanced viewpoint of Martin Keown. Turns out that they morally won the World Cup, which in the long term, is much more meaningful. Also, his message that “the journey is only beginning”, and “improvements are coming” should be ominous for the rest of the world, since Argentina, Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Brazil and Uruguay (to name a few) were well satisfied with their results in Russia, and fully intended to do nothing in the next four years. Oh special mention to Sally on BBC Breakfast. Apparently, England pile huge expectation on their players, but not this time. The media and support left them alone. Now, after reaching the semi (again, no context of the circumstances that took them there), next time around, those high hopes and expectations will be justified pre-tournament. Good work Sally......you have cranked up the old England Merry Go Round all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Szamo's_Ammo Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 It was glorious right enough. Expect "Gareth" to go back to being Gareth Southgate after a mauling from the Belgians on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They needed to have slips for the final in the shops by opening this morning, so makes sense they'd produce slips for both teams. Would like to have seen the odds being offered on it mind.

It was an unchallenged shot from the edge of the box that he didn't even get on target. Keane rightly got stuck into him about it. Far more than a half-chance.

David Cameron couldn’t even remember who he “supports”. Most top politicians claim to "support" a team, but very few are actually serious. Jeremy Corbyn is one of the few who actually has followed a team (Arsenal) most of his life. Theresa May claims to support AFC Wimbledon. Although to be fair to her, in her time as a Councillor in Merton she was about the only one to actually actively work with a group of Wimbledon fans on a proposal of getting the club back in Merton and prevent any moves away (at that time Dublin was suggested). Considering we all know what happened to Wimbledon after, that doesn't create much confidence in her negotiation skills... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not suggesting they were, but that was one of two clearcut chances (Kane being the other) that they could and maybe should have scored with. You should know by now that pedantry is the way of P&B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
