Baba Yaga Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Was hoping Ukraine would win as a QF tie against them should be more entertaining, think they are going to have a fair few injured still by Saturday. Good cross and header to win it, fair play to the sub who missed a sitter earlier but came back. You will.never see Scotland celebrate like this as Hampden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bredwood Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 So much for Group F being the group of death. All 3 teams that qualified are out. Maybe the effort put in to get out of the group worked against them in the round of 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 No easy games at this level is there? Think I am right in saying of the four matches which were Group winner v 3rd, the latter has won three of them. The exception being Portugal.

Port Said Red Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 The idea that extra time for these 2 teams might work to Englands advantage took a blow at the end, Ukraine didn't look at all tired. They did lose a couple of starting players though, every little helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of substitutes teams can call on makes extra time more exciting than previous tournaments when it seemed that teams just played for penalties.

Harry Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Not sure if it’s BBC or Sky to blame here, but I was watching on catch up, having had to take a break after the England match to put the kids to bed. The recording of the programme finished at half time in extra time, so I missed whatever drama occurred in 2ET. Great. Usually if a programme runs on, it still continues the recording.

norf bristol red Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Sorry if anyone else has said it, but did Harry Kane’s celebration of his goal remind you of Glynn Riley scoring at Wembley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know what you mean, although he would have a job jumping those electronic signs the way Riley went over the old static ones. I thought I saw another nice touch just after the players finished the celebration, Kane turned and looked at the crowd like he was trying to commit the moment to memory.

ExiledAjax Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 7 hours ago, 054123 said: Good job he didn’t lunge at the player and simply volleyed the ball Unfortunately, the law doesn't require intent to endanger. It merely requires endangerment, regardless of how that's caused. By the letter of the law it's a red. Should it be a red? Not in my opinion. I think we agree there. The law needs an addition to clarify either what "endanger" means, or by the addition of a defined set of actions that are presumed not to cause "endangerment".

SecretSam Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Really pleased for Shevchenko that they're through, loved him as a player, felt so sorry for him when Chelski ruined his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstart Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Bearing in mind how crap we usually play against Sweden, with Ukraine knocking them out and Mueller missing that sitter last night, I'd go buy a lottery ticket today if I was Southgate - he's on a roll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 The Ukraine game will be tough IMO, especially being away from Wembley for the first time and with us having to handle the pressure of being favourites. That said, Austria and Holland beat them in the group stages and we will never have a better chance of getting to a final. Just hope we don’t put in a drab display after last night’s Lord Mayor’s show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Guardian podcast covers the red card well. The letter of the law is fine, but the law isn’t relevant as it’s not a challenge or tackle. He kicks the ball out of mid air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was the first time football broke my heart. I remember Euro 96 and I watched it all, but I was just a little too young to get the emotions of it.

I'm not sure though how relevant our performances 15 years ago (or even the previous game 9 years ago) are to how we'd play against them now, more accurate is how we dispatched of them very comfortably at the WC I think Ukraine is the better pick, they look like they are struggling with injuries and fitness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
