That ball from Scott is absurd. This is why just looking at goals/assists doesn't do him justice, how many players even spot that ball let alone play it with such quality?

Bell was fantastic - really deserved a hattrick.

Every generation struggles with technology that was obsolete before they were born ?

What a hit! Fair play Sam - real opportunity for him now

FTFY

Then the fake moustache falls off mid interview. The game is given away completely when he tries to catch it.

An example of a "malaphor". We will burn that bridge when we come to it.

Cardiff City tried to insure Sala for £20m the day after his death - court - BBC News Bit beyond my understanding, but sounds as though Cardiff realised they had made a mistake with their insurance then tried to fix it after the crash? Not a great look!

Just reminded me of one of the greatest ever TV scenes https://youtu.be/P3i36ybA8Ms

Yes i agree - i was responding to a previous post about 15% interest rates. Deposits and that were far far more affordable, but banks were still greedy and mortgages were still tough for normal people.

100%, blanket statements that houses were "cheap" in the past are oversimplifying, but lower prices at higher interest rates makes it more realistic to get on the ladder even if in real terms mortgages were still incredibly expensive.

It does feel like a copy paste of every unfounded criticism of younger people. My 2 cents. Even in the last year buying a house has become unreachable for so many more people, prices have been outstripping salaries forever, but it has been insane post covid. I was able to buy my first house in April last year, even in a cheaper part of the country it was £55k more than it's last sale price 16 months earlier. We had been saving for a long time, making sacrifices and being realistic with the houses we looked at and we still needed some help from our parents. We were so lucky that it was an option, this isn't feasible for so many people. The "stop paying for netflix & avocado toast" mantra is even more outdated than it was as recently as 2019. Edit: another thing I have heard is "houses were cheaper but interest rates were higher", now interest rates have tripled its hard to see how anyone can genuinely afford to buy their first home in their 20s.

First game i haven't watched for a long time. Who's gonna pay me to stay away ?

I scrolled straight to the bottom of the thread and though it was Greg who was being discussed, that would be a bit silly!

Nearly a Semenyo special there!

A "Party line" was always a number you'd ring to get directions to the rave for me ?

Right!? Ref has done well not to fall for the diving but where are the cards?

Skillful without being flashy. Direct without being a long ball team. All helps to be a really entertaining team

Jude Bellingham is outrageously good

Nah if he had been trying to miss he'd have had a hattrick

Marmite player. Because marmite doesn't play for england either

Completely anonymous, almost like he isn't on the pitch

Bit better near the end of the half, but so so slow to react to everything! USA will fancy this second half, caused us a lot of problems with their pace.

How close do you want to get!

Funny they go on about how "dirty" the Iran side is, then show Bale diving and an Iranian player winning the ball.
