Whitey Grandad

Two footed dive. Double tuck with pike. Or something.

What's with all this 'kick the ball straight at the player standing right in front of you' ?

Or transfusions of oxygenated blood during the hydration breaks.

When the tide comes in slowly it's still called a flood.

Piles of money.

The position of the ball is not relevant to the obstruction. The keeper was blocked off from going for the ball.

There's a reason that they got rich.

Leaning back and not looking at the ball. A typical defender's clearance.

Ignore the fall. The keeper was deliberately blocked off. The German player ignored the ball and was only intent on stopping the keeper from getting to it.

Heimreisen

More entertaining than the match.

Ausgezeichnet

If only the Germans had a word for schadenfreude.

Unbelievable

These commentators seem to have a strong pro Germany bias.

Meh. Keeper was deliberately blocked.

Hardly a Dibble really.

But then would you have been able to buy it? We got out of London in 1971 and moved to Hampshire for a better life.

It's not their money.

Do you mean 'invest' or do you mean 'subsidise'? I see precious little scope for a return on investment.

That's a bit more than I was prepared to pay to be honest.

That's a good point. I forgot about renewing my membership.

For a moment there I thought it was the start of a joke 😒

"Hoist with his own petard" is a quote from Hamlet. In this instance a Petard is a small explosive device, a type of bomb. The name ultimately derives from the French for fart, as you have said.
