I’m going to count how many more times the commentators use what has been the last couple of years’ favourite football pundits word “press”. This will provide me with some entertainment whilst sitting through this.
I'm just going to count how many people i can spot in the crowd wearing high-viz jackets. Gotta do something to pass the time.
According to the expert on co commentary it's difficult to play against 442.... well feck me sideways..... as Slovenia have played that for ever why haven't they worked out what to do to break them down....
It's a sad day when you tell your young lad that, as a special treat, he can stay up late and watch the first half...an hour later here so he's been really looking forward to it all week...and he's just voluntarily taken himself to bed after 40 minutes. "Well Daddy, that is why I want France to win." Heartbreaking.
But they were **** too. Tell him to support Argentina. He won’t be disappointed. In this tournament at least. Half time. Phew.
The Slovenians will be kicking themselves that they aren't beating the international minnows England.
You see, you just don’t understand how incredibly difficult international football is. Our brave lads are up an against a country with a population of just over 2 million. That’s nearly 20% of London. It’s just virtually impossible to play well against people who earn a tenth of what you do.
