Baba Yaga Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 In a way I prefer to watch a 0-0 with Spain because if they were 1 or 2 goals up I would find watching them play keep ball even more boring. Definitely should have seen a goal or 2 in that game for both sides so not like there weren't moments. Thought it was a joke when they were talking about Isak like the next Ibrahimovic but I wasn't by the end, only watched clips of young Zlatan but ridiculous skill levels on both of them!

Rich Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Not read the whole post, so I expect this might have been mentioned before. Did anyone else have a problem watching the England game, where the nearside of the pitch and any players there were almost invisible due to the shadow? Expecting a whoosh any minute now.

Liked the fact that because Kalas was getting mentioned so often so was Bristol City (although not as many times as there would be if JP was commentating) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to say but that was like watching paint dry. Spain only put the hurry up on their weight of passes when they were running out of time. I think you're underplaying how hard that is to do at intensity for 90 minutes. Not pretty to watch but it's also far from easy, the concentration and focus required will be just as tiring as the physical movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathandao Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has been called up to England's Euro 2020 squad to replace injured Dean Henderson. Manchester United keeper Henderson has withdrawn from the tournament with a hip issue that would "continue to limit his involvement in training". He will return to his club for further assessment and treatment. Sheffield United's Ramsdale has no senior England caps but was part of Gareth Southgate's provisional 33-man squad before the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
