Quote: Lazzard @ 7th June 2022, 5:45 PMHoping for not too much c**tish-ness from certain quarters of the English fans tonight.
Also can anyone one explain what the hell the Nations League is and how it works?
They've already started; 7 arrested I think.
And the Nations League? I sort of get the promotion/relegation thing but I don't understand how the finals work.
The England players are all going down injured like Emma Raducanu during a game of tiddlywinks. Can't wait until half time so I can turn over to watch Ever Decreasing Circles (which is ironic really).
Surely Kane was offside when the ball came through to him prior to being tripped for the penalty. No-one seems to have mentioned it.
Very dubious penalty even if it was off-side.
England lucky to get the point.
Entirely disjointed - our exciting play-makers like Saka and Mount, invisible.
Keeper endlessly kicking the ball into touch.
Does not bode well.
Yes Pickford, Maguire & Mount can't do anything to not get picked constantly by Southgate, but Pope, White & Maddison are far better players who can't get a look in. Even Grealish & Bellingham are used very sparingly as subs yet cause most of the danger whenever they're on. The manager's childish puritanical exclusion of players who like to play hard as well as work hard is killing England. This twat should be a vicar, not manager of England ffs. Get rid of him!

OMG (as I believe the young people say). Are there two people on these forums masquerading as Alfred J Kipper and each with a completely opposite view on hard and hard-working players?

I think we should be told.
Well no, there's one Kipper only. The focus was on 'play hard' as in the well known phrase 'work hard, play hard' and not the footballing term, as in hard player. So the 'work hard' bit is redundant, it's just part of the phrase you misinterpreted, which is understandable I suppose. Maybe I should've put 'party hard' but it's not really one of my sayings.
I was referring to players like Maddison, Grealish, Foden who England badly need for their creativity but Southgate has currently or in the past blocked their England progress because of their 'partying' lifestyle. Although he's strangely done nothing against others like Walker, Sterling and Maguire who've also had bad press for their private life excesses and can't get a breather from playing for England.
Stiles was a hard working headless chicken. Haynes was a gifted playmaker who'd be in anyone's England team today, except the current manager's. Good hard players are great, like Phillips. England succumbed to the krauts when he went off. Southgate looks much more like a woke PE teacher than a manager of a national team with a lot of potential.
South African clubs banned for life after two games see 41 own goals scored with results of 33-1 and 59-1
There is another Kipper. I saw a program the other day about the missing Suzy Lamplue case.
They were looking for a bloke called Kipper.

I thought exactly the same thing but nobody mentioned it.
World Cup play-off Australia v Peru on the red button.
Peru's singing of their National Anthem was so passionate. Take note Trent.
Gone to penalties but at least there are no pontificating pundits.
Australia brought on a specialist penalty goalie for the last few minutes. When it went to penalties he was dancing along the line, waving his arms about, high kicking. He looked so stupid! He fiinally saved the last one.
Well, England are a bit shit, aren't they?
0-4
Wank!
What do you expect with Basil Brush in charge. Grealish on the bench again and Foden, while bang inform Maddison's far too naughty in his private life to be allowed to play for England, he went into a nightclub shock horror. While out of form and knackered favourite Walker was in a gang bang video and hasn't missed a single minute's play.
To be fair to Southgate he has done a brilliant job so far
I mostly blame the overpaid bunch of prats he had to pick from
