Foden had been a mobile, hungry player out there.

Yeessss....but nooooo....

Whew! and over from the corner.... Whew again

Like some earlier games, England struggling to pass through a compacted midfield. Without the space, they aren't making enough movement, to shift the Dutch out of shape. Foden looking frustrated by it.

After the Netherlands start, I was a bit worried. But England the hungrier of the two, and stronger in the challenge. Some nice crossfire switches, and Bellingham and Foden really mobile. Trippier obviously not the/ or his best out left. More of the same second half (maybe getting Shaw on if fit enough)

Depay off a plus (cue sub causing all sorts of problems)

Wow shot from Foden. Getting a lot of joy tonight and centrally. Either would have made for great goals

Solo close...

Get in!!!!

Wow. That totally ruined Unkel's hindsight based chat, when it got referred. A bit surprised at it being awarded.

Hecks. A lively Netherlands start undoing England was always a possibility. An early cracking goal and England already with work to do.

Perhaps City have a youth keeper to sell them too. 🙂

Sweet

The signing of Snake Plissken took many by surprise, but none doubted his ability to destroy an opposition attack...defence...team bus...stadium...

Tart

Good for their development. I've not seen much of Ballard, but liked SAA and was hoping to see him feature more last season.

I guess people can get bored with utopia after a while. 🙂

A few weeks back, I read the 1st few lines of a standard SOG post. It was full of the usual whataboutery and deflection. I stopped, realising there was no point, as he hasn't learned a thing since he joined here. From the pages of the Guardian, and the mouth of James O'Brien to our screens. I found the ignore function. Having paid the fiver, we were getting a torrent of this stuff, that would make a water utility blush. My post above was based on watching the responses to the same old approach, and another thread going the same way. I've managed to be part of a stalking group, when I've got the person I'm stalking on ignore, and can't have responded directly to in a while. Still, a T-Shirt is a T-Shirt. I can put screenshots on how the ignore function works for you SOG, as it's something else you regularly struggle with.

Tight

The squad show off their new pink onesie kits, with variations for away, third and 'keepers outfit on the right. The delay in release due to main sponsor, Moonpig, making sure the dinosaurs looked fierce enough, and that the FA were on board in protecting players' heads from injury with the likes of party hats.

Champion of democracy. Right up to the point it doesn't meet his world view. Then it's clearly wrong, and must be changed. A thread springing forth from "I'm not knocking democracy" before proceeding to do exactly that, and moan on about it endlessly. From the guy who called someone out for not entering his voting poll. Not that they had to was the follow up. So, why call it out? Very democratic. Where any democratic vote going in a way they disagree with is a "sham" and where the link to PR given tells us that it's what all the "advanced" nations are doing. "If we believe in democracy..." Pathetic.

Lessons in comedy #32 The original idea is important. But it's the delivery that gets the laughs (and likes in this case). 🙂

Ham

5 players in, but still really need replacements for Downes, Stu, Fraser, A right sided attacker and Che. And that's being generous in thinking Lallana has been brought in as direct competition across the midfield 3.
