Stunt.. couple of them are posing hard. Couple areaverage. The one with The trainers proves high heels makes totty look far better as she's slouched and looks poor.
Funny I told the missus to bend over she was getting it hard in celebration.... But we all communicate differently I suppose
trippier and dier were fine. that's 3 out of 3 for spurs. rashford was excellent. really just make walker or vardy take the other. get Henderson away from them cos he's useless. but seriously let's not go to pens again cos pickford was ****e.
my worry here is fitness. I don't think England will get full recovery before Saturday so we can't afford another set of pens
The players who stood up must have been the best in training or them. Even an injured Kane was brilliant. So let the confident ones go, don’t let a David Batty/Ince/Southgate type step up.
We should be okay. The only one making forward runs was Maguire who has been a revelation. Him and Tripier have been a revelation.
Its 4 days after some players could barely walk at end of 120mins. We should not underestimate this effect on the players. Trippier has been best player. Thus far maguire hasn't had a decent opponent. My god colombia were just thuggish idiots yesterday. England were so comfortable. What on earth were they thinking. anyway I don't expect any swedish player to trouble him either. I think they will play to his strengths. Tuesday to saturday is going to be tough when the opponent had a regulation 1-0 in 90mins.
henderson. confidence is no good if its all acting the big man saying yeah i'll take it. southgate should have a ranking of who is top 10 pen takers min and go through and they should all be trained and prepped that they will be taking. how the **** he was going round asking i don't know. It should have been right. kane 1. (i always put first pen taker as best pen taker) Rashford 2. Tripper 3 Dier 4 the issue is the list then drops off. england just need to be sure that they are not easily read pens and guys pick their spot and hammer home. but anyway QF can't go to extra time. I don't think that will end well. That croatian keeper was tasty on pens as well. We should be hoping to play russia in SF after sweden.
So we’ve just told the world where we’ve been practicing to stick our pens so if we get to pens again, I can imagine the keeper will have an advantage unless we change takers or the takers change their spots.
True story. Out of extreme frustration at the way penalties were going .... Me [under my breath]: sorry for calling you short and fat Pickford: saves pen ...... What with Firmino's goal and now this, I have the magic touch
Pretty much what I was thinking during each and every interview about the shootout. Thing is, do they start practicing a different place now or stick with it and let the opposition believe they'll change? They can't all sick with it though, might be a bit obvious after one of two
If Kane was a good footballer and not just a great goal scorer, we'd have had the game sewn up early doors.
