Port Said Red

Denmark never seem to add up to the sum of their parts do they?

I thought it was chest first so he was right to turn it down.

Having watched the odd game on the Welsh channels over the years, I can confirm he can be just as annoying in Welsh too.

Ah I have just posted about this in the WC football only thread. Sorry

Lovely story at the end though with the lad Finlay who has Cerebral Palsy. He met Grealish about a month ago and asked him to do a special little celebration next time he scored, which happened to be yesterday. Grealish needs commending for remembering his promise in the heat of the moment.

Only if it does actually stop teams doing it, some might consider that disrupting the flow of the game is still worth it. If it doesn't actually reduce the time wasting we could all be in the ground until 17:30 on a Saturday, or gone 10pm on a weekday.

Shot on target...

Watching the news this morning you could be forgiven for thinking that Wales had thrashed USA and that England never played at all.

Wow! They have a section in Private Eye called OBN Award (Order of the Brown Nose) for people who suck up to others in print. I should submit this whole thread and win myself £20. https://gaschat.co.uk/thread/20414/wael-appreciation

Tom Lockyer was sat next Morrel on the Wales bench, are they claiming him?

Landslide - Fleetwood Mac

I like the look of Tyler Adams, looks like a young Korey Smith to me.

Seriously, these commentators.... it's like listening to Radio Bristol talk about "those Gasheads", are Wales fans really any more special than the barmy army or some of the ultra groups across the world?

It's been the same in every game so far, they must be stopping the clock every time the ball is out of play.

In the first half I said to my missus, I doubt we will see a fitter team in the tournament than the USA. But they have run out of steam in the second half. But of course their home season has only just finished, are we seeing one of the advantages of a mid season WC for the European teams?

Last thing to add, Marley Rose came on in the 2nd half and it's the first time I have seen him since his injury. He has really filled out but he is so silky smooth, I really hope he gets a chance to get around the first team.

Have they been more favourable than the ones that previous England Managers have had though?

We were excellent, progressive, front foot football from the off. There was a scrappy period after the 10 minutes it took to deal with Iran's concussed goalkeeper, but other than that we did a great job. Bellingham could be the rising star of the tournament.

Proper football fans have some idea what they are talking about as well.

Thank you. I was about to post something similar, as a 60 year old England fan, I can remember tournaments where we were expected to progress and failed. We have had the odd group of death, and occasional bright moments, but generally we have underperformed until recent big tournaments.

Where are all the Jordanian players they were supposed to be bringing through under his stewardship?

Just read some stuff on the Local League thread, sounds much better than before.

Who has gone in there now Dave? Someone they trust more?

Dutch showing the usual tendency of arguing amongst themselves at tournaments.

That's odd, I thought we were steering clear of Yate at the moment?
