The General Football Thread

Because their new home ground in Truro is still being built, their home games for this season were due to be played in Plymouth 55miles away.
Plymouth pitch became so bad they had to go to Taunton to play their home games 125 away.
More bad weather has meant no games have been played at Taunton so have had to play their last 3 home games at Gloucester 195 away from Truro.

Manager Paul Wotton; "You're going to a home game and the away team are getting there quicker than you."

 

Just been given a free Club Wembley ticket for tonight

 

It's weird England being clear favourites against Brazil.

 

Smallbone starts for Ireland. Baz and Manning on the bench. Didn’t even think Manning had been called up!

 

Smallbone doing Smallbone things, breaking up play, neat and tidy with the occasional cutting pass.

 

Lovely to see Gazza at Wembley

 

England very poor so far

and then nearly score

 

The Brazilians love a foul

 

Bellingham has been fouled about 8 billion times

 

Bellingham just constantly fouled whenever he gets on the ball. If this wasn’t a friendly not sure they could get away with this many fouls tbh.
And at the other end Maguire with a brain fart and Brazil should have scored.

 

Why has Ben Chilwell suddenly turned into Ali Dia? He seems to have no idea how to kick a football.

 

Chilwell doesn’t have a left foot for a left footed player
Maguire yuck
Gallagher is average

Positives
Gordon looking good
Just love Rice

 

He'd have to have a brain to fart with.

 

Bellingham is levels above. Quite quiet atmosphere here, but fun enough.

 

Bellingham with cramp after an hour, presumably because he’s been constantly kicked for an hour.

 

Glad this game means nothing as we’ve been ponderous trash

 

England have been a bit **** defensively, not that that surprises me as it is Englands big weakness and what stops them from being a top top team imo.

 

Well that was bad. Can’t get behind such a boring negative team. Haven’t got excited for an England team since Sven

 

Another timid display from Southgate's side.

 

Obviously the bookies no nothing. Not much good to say about that performance.
