Some English fans, like the one quoted below, also refuse to accept that times have changed and that furbo is now global. Harry Kane dives, whisper cozy things in the ears of referees, make rough challenges on players who last had the ball a minute ago, tries to break the necks of his...

20 seconds to take a throw-in and fiddling around with a towel... sorry, but I don't mind a yellow. In the Premier League he wouldn't get one. If you take more than 10 seconds before throwing the ball after you've gotten hold of it, I think a yellow card is perfectly fine.

I'm sure Southgate has quite a good awareness of the 16-21 youth teams but a national team is mainly about quality today and while I think there's some reasonably talented midfielders in the U21, nothing is indicating that they would do much if any better than Henderson & co. Its up to the clubs...

Depening on which Brighton fan you ask about which manager, its either that "the players made the manager good" or "the manager made the players good", depending on what the current narrative is. As I said, "usually win / usually lose". Yes, sometimes there are surprise results and these can be...

Both the credit and the criticism is a bit silly. England share a trait with the 210 other FIFA national teams: when they play against teams with worse footballers, they usually win, and when playing against teams with better footballers, they usually lose. There's not an awful lot a national...

Naw poor England doesn't get to take half a minute to throw the ball

I'm gonna have to go with the latter

Scandalous that England and Italy can't give me 3.5+ goals in a game. Luckily Denmark scored a late one to save my late night-plans.

Nope, doesnt matter.

I'd appreciate if someone would like to put the ball in the net

Stop disagreeing with me, we're the same person ffs

Another goal for either team would be nice for my drug consump... eh, economy.

The "Italian way of playing football" is dying a slow, painful death unless its already dead. Mancini is more Zerbi than catenaccio.

0-2 is a good result. Anything like 0-4 or 0-5 and Mancini is gone and it'll be squeaky bum time deluxe in the Brighton camp.

Not bad. Back to "Gareth Southgate is fantastic" for a few days now I suppose.
