  1. It's one that's given elsewhere. Probably shouldn't be getting overturned but it's definitely not a TRAVESTY like some will suggest
  2. You can criticise him for the LB situation, I have myself, but in and of itself it really, really, really isn't weird to not start a player who's only played about 30 odd minutes in several months. You need to build up match fitness, and I'd rather have Shaw to come on and finishing the game than throwing him on from the start and then having to swap to Trippier when Shaw's inevitably gassed.
  3. Don't get why people find xG confusing. It's literally just a way to and answer "ah yes, but what about the quality of those shots?" which I remember my dad asking whenever you'd see 20 shots vs 10 or whatever. It is not, and has never meant to be, a perfect explanation of who was better. Its issue is weirdos thinking it means everything when it doesn't and is why freaks online try and argue bollocks like Jesse Marsch was harshly sacked without watching us when we were ****ing horrific.
  4. I'll be baffled if either England or Netherlands beat this Spain team
  5. Will go against the grain and say that wasn't a particularly good game. Better than I thought, good that Spain have won, but that was mostly a bit meh. France are so, so toothless. Fun period with the goals but outside that it was a pretty standard France game.
  6. There's a couple I prefer from a purely technical standpoint, but given this was in a semi final by a ****ing child, then yeah sure, no qualms if it's goal of the tournament.
  7. Think England have a slightly better chance against France (if we got through, of course), but Spain have been so much better to watch.
  8. Might as well argue pointlessly argue over something until the next game on Tuesday! Spain have looked good, but will France bore them to death? England have been rubbish, so can Netherlands punish them or will it be penalties again?
  9. I'm massive believer in keeping the flag down, but some of the linesman this tournament have kept them down for baffling amounts of time
  10. It's funny, I think some of the criticism was incredibly overboard after Denmark, but now they've gone the other way. First half I think was fine to decent, but second half and extra time were really poor. Fortunate to get through.
  11. In fairness, he did do a lot of work on the players before 2018 to change the mindset and did a lot of research into penalties. He does genuinely deserve some credit for that. He's helped change the mindset on penalties, and it does make a difference.
  12. It's definitely not a penalty, but that's incredibly risky and stupid from Zuber.
