Turkish

Early start this morning not what’s needed after the final last night but lots to be done. Busy few days ahead 6.20am Monday morning flight As need to be at location bright and early for a VERY important and exciting development. That’s all I can say for now

I see it all the time. My lad trains twice a week at a football school based on futsal and once a week with our local pro club which is league two club the difference is frightening. The futsal club which was set up by Simon Clifford is all about ball mastery, touch, movement, skill development. Getting as many touches on the ball as they can every session. If the kid doesn’t get it they practise and get help until they can. As I mentioned some kids and parents moan and pull them out because it can be repetitive but that’s how you learn. at the pro club they do drills and either the kids gets it or they don’t they don’t get help, the ones that get selected for matches are the big kids who are fast and strong. The ones that struggle physically get ignored despite being technically a lot better. And they wonder why when they get to 15 and everyone has caught up their struggling to produce players ,the only offeeed one academy player a pro contract last summer for example

They said that in the two tournaments before this. He was poor in euro 2020 everyone said he was carrying an injury, same goes for the last World Cup and in this tournament. He was terrible in this one every game he slowed it down, gave it away, he got booked tonight because he was so slow on the ball. He’s clearly a class player his goal scoring record is a match for anyone but he’s looked so poor the last 3 tournaments the difference when more mobile strikers came on was evident

Are Saka, Bellingham, Kane, Foden and Palmer worse than Jammal, Williams and Morata? I’d say absolutely not but the only England one that delivered was Palmer and he only played 20 mins a game

Fucking he’ll Harry Kane had more touches in his own box than the Spain box tonight 🤦

It starts from when they are 5 or 6 years old, believe me I’ve looked into it a lot. The Spanish, Brazilians, Argentinians they coach kids on technique, skill controlling the ball with all parts of the foot, one touch. We’re getting better with it but I look at the academies in my area all the kids are the big, strong, fast ones. The smaller kids with good technique are still over looked, parents are still stuck in the mentality of winning games and wanting their kids to play for teams that win stuff. As I’ve mentioned before my lad does a club which is all about technique but parents and kids get bored with it because they say it’s the same thing every week, that’s how it works, repetition, repetition, repetition. Doing stuff over and over again until it becomes natural. Anyway I don’t think Spain have better players than us they play in a system that gets the best out of their best players. We don’t.

Moving forward under a new manager there needs to be some changes Kane has been poor in the last 3 tournaments he offers nothing slows everything down no outlet no movement. Even Morata who was poor in the premier league looked a class above Kane tonight. Forget the past we need to move forward with Watkins or Roney. Cole Palmer also has to start such a classy player who made a massive difference The movement of Spain was levels above us we’ve got the players who do it week in week out in the premier league. Need ti find a manager who can get them to gel.

Typo we were fucking brilliant and absolutely robbed. Second goal offside header at the end definitely over the line

Best team won. Can’t really argue with the result

About time Kanes been terrible all tournament

Lucky to only be one down getting torn apart here

We look fairly solid but had nothing going forward. Far too slow no width, Kane awful again and slowing everything down. Spain not been great either.

They’re cutting inside every time and being crowded out, get down the line Walker overlapping and stretch them FFS

Got himself booked because he was slow on the ball

No Spanish player singing the national anthem. If they lose itlll be because of a lack of PASSION for their country

I’ve never said he was a wind up merchant he isn’t.

How many times have you talked about yourself on this thread? it’s amusing you’re yet to see a report on it yet but have posted stuff about what Nigel frigging Farage has said and of course the compulsory guardian opinion piece. Such a bullshitter

Suga done one of a few players in this clue

How do you know who was caught in the crossfire? You’re so busy to see the news reports you said. (Apart from when you Farage klaxon went off that is)

Have you caught up with news yet Sog? Funny how you’ve not seen it yet managed to find an article with Farage discussing it.

When he admits he’s lied about it for 5 years I’ll stop mentioning it

Yes what you’re not saying we all know if this had been someone else you sure as anything would have “managed to catch up with the proper news report” you spend you days listening to LBC phone ins, research what voting systems they use in Gambia and trying to prove what Jews are so don’t try and pretend you haven’t see what’s happened in the US 😂 we also all know if this had to someone else you’d been droning on about the “far right” all day. Too bad you don’t have the balls to just say what you think resorting to lying again. Also forgetting I’m on ignore for the third time this week 😂😂😂😂

It’s not what you’re saying it’s all the stuff you’re not saying. had this been someone else you’d be on your 20th boreathon post of the day already ranting against the far right. Why haven’t you condemned this attack yet? You’re never normally so quiet when it comes to politics

Why do people always end up accusing others of living in bedsits when they fall out on Internet forums? Anyway I gave you another like Marky, your average is going up 👍

I just gave you a like pal. Hope you feel slightly better now. ❤️
