Diversity and inclusion ? It's alright mate... I'm a pale male so apparently have been having it all my own way for far too long. Somebody clearly hasn't met Mrs VdM.... ?

I can't personally recall either of your examples but I'd be pretty sure I watched them. This is not a bad game really. The last opening game I think I remember was italia 90 when Cameroon surprised Argentina, much to everyones huge amusement... ? Our man Wanchope bagging two and a couple of crackers from Lahm and Frings... Switzerland v Czechia was a bit dull. Italy have pressed very very well. Turkey look lethargic.

And do he and Bale have the same myopic hairdresser? Meant to be discussing Wales but seemed more interested in having digs at England the sad thing.

Van der MoodHoover Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Now that was a decent goal.. Even though Turkey are shot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Been a good game IMO. Turkey are dire, but Italy have looked tidy and will be very tough to beat. Not sure where the dark horses label afforded to Turkey comes from though. Zero intent and zero shots on goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Think Turkey reminded me of us early in the season. Single striker, no support around him, trying to play out from the back against a strong press, too much tippy tappy sideways and backwards, not enough energy or physicality..... .... I could go on... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1of4 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Due to Southgates tactics I didn't give England much chance of winning the Euros. Watching how Italy are performing tonight, that chance looks to be getting smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their left side has had total freedom and even though Spinazzola or Insigne could be MotM they were wasteful. Turkey couldn't even make a decent set piece.

Alph Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 It's a shame it's FT. Jenas could have said something that made sense or wasn't a cliche if we kept going. Fook me, he's annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 And having heard Rios perceptive analysis that italys performance was going to "make people sit and stand up".... ..... please could we have the D and I quota filled by somebody more articulate?

Malagaram Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 What do English pundits know about football,both Shearer and Ferdinand predicting score draws,yes we do need better pundits,and Ferdinand sitting in a BBC Studio wearing white trainers,at least Savage wasnt scared to say that at least Mancini was well dressed.
