[Football] Nations League: England V Iceland

[nickbrighton]

Couldn't see a thread on this at all. Is anyone bothering to watch? I usually watch the England team when they play, but tbh my football mojo is very low, even for The Albion. Still haven't decided whether to watch it tonight or not.

Could the apparent lack of interest in this game (Dead rubber, No Fans, Disappointment in the Belgium game etc) also be true of the Premier League? I certainly feel myself struggling to maintain the same passion for all things football atm

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Another dull selection.

Want Southgate gone now

You have Kane/Sterling/Rashford/Sancho/Grealish/Ings/Calvert Lewin among others and we keep picking negative teams.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Excellent - Grealish is starting. Let's hope he gets a mild injury that keeps him out on Saturday.

 

[raymondo]

I'm far more enthusiastic about my son's U11 games...and they're off because of lockdown ...

 

[Barham's tash]

International football outside of tournaments is completely moribund. Even more so when we’re managed by Mr Wallpaper paste. Dullsville.

 

[Sirnormangall]

I’ll watch until we go behind and then change channels to the Repair Shop

 

[Is it PotG?]

Good news shin-pad diving bloke has 3rd start in a week.

Might stay home and wash his hair on Saturday.

 

[Motogull]

Fukk that shite.

Is our ladies game on anywhere?

 

[Sirnormangall]

I’ll watch until we go behind and then change channels to the Repair Shop

....forgot to add that between going behind and changing channels there will be a short period of cursing

 

[vegster]

Can't believe Kane has to play again this break, this is going to ruin my Fantasy Football chances.

Couple of injuries in that lot.

Iceland have let key players go. Can't see why he would put out the best available anyway.

 

[BN41Albion]

Surely everyone has something better to do than watch this shit tonight!?

 

[Seasidesage]

Southgate is actually an even bigger idiot than I thought. We are already out playing the worst team in our group in a dead rubber and he puts out the same faces. This is going to teach him nothing while alienating the rest of the squad and the club managers who's goodwill he needs...

Kane a case in point, nothing to prove against Iceland !

Was thinking the same - a pint for the icelander who boots him right up in the air and leaves him in a writhing heap!

 

[Weststander]

Saka was screaming in agony when fouled then. Ten seconds later in full spring lamb mode.

We English have caught up with the best of them.

I wonder if they coach the sound effects at EPL clubs, as well as the parachute rolls and turf slapping?

 

[The Wizard]

I just don’t understand why we are playing 5 at the back, why can’t this tw*t Southgate adapt?

Eric Dier is our starting centre back ffs and we have RB Walker starting games at centre back. Literally all we have is a long diagonal ball to the wing back and set pieces, we make it so easy for teams to defend when really attacking should be our strong suit with the players we have.

 

[Stat Brother]

It would be nice if Waistcoat W****r selected Bug-Eyed ASDA ad man.

I'd appreciate having a evening avoiding both tw*ts.

 

[timbha]

Was that headed goal off Rice’s shoulder?

Yeah, I'm struggling to muster up any enthusiasm for football at the moment. I haven't watched anything since the Burnley match. I really couldn't give a s*** about the Nations League or international friendlies and I'm not even sure I'll watch the Villa match on Saturday as I'll probably be going out for a long run instead.
