I was lucky to be in the box next to the directors (guest of Heineken) the night he was at City a few years back, got the chance to meet him and was very impressed with not how well he spoke but also how genuinely likeable and friendly he came across 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 That was a really good half of football. As you'd expect from a team dominated by Barcelona players Spain have had the majority of possession but the Germans, although not lacking flair, are amazingly efficient. What is interesting from the Germans is the number of times their right back finds herself at centre forward. Looking forward to the 2nd half.

The Original OTIB Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 "Commentary" is abysmal. Robyn last night barely described a pass. JP just mumbling and reading stat lists. Oh for Barry D or similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Is that the first JP commentary without a City reference? Anyway it was, a fascinating game of two contrasting styles. In terms of ball control and passing the entire Spanish team could play inside a phone box, but they lacked a cutting edge and, apart from one stunning save, they didn't work the German keeper. Germany were stereotypical of their football history and nation being well organised and efficient. England now can't meet Germany unless we both make the final. We're likely to meet Spain unless they lose to Denmark. We certainly have the ability to out power and out score Spain but can we keep it tight enough. Spain have the ability to pass it around us if we are not. Can't wait to find the answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 The goal celebration music in tonight’s Holland vs Portugal game is so annoying. Really hope there is no one from the club watching it thinking “what a great idea it would be to reintroduce this!”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) Another decent game - Iceland vs Italy. Got to say the technique of striking of the ball in front of goal has improved enormously in the Woman’s game. Absolutely belter for Holland’s third, and great one this evening too. The foot to ball contact so clean and precise, hit perfectly. Other observation is that the Woman presenter at half-time and the blonde pundit were excellent. No need for positive discrimination, appoint solely on talent and the cream inevitably rises to the top be that male, female or purple-coloured with green spots.

Quite agree and to compound it a second yellow too. I wish a referee when told by VAR to check on the monitor would be brave enough to stick with their original decision rather than submitting to the whims of the VAR official. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Odd commentary for me, aside from the fact that JP didn’t mention City, there seemed a fraction of delay between sound and vision. I knew the penalty had been saved before the keeper saved it. Most bizarre. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few minutes earlier the picture froze and I am just wondering if after that we were being fed pictures a second or two behind the audio. As you said, Pearce was telling us the penalty kick had been saved the moment the ball was about to be struck by the taker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
