Didn't spot that during the game, love it. Dark arts at its finest.

Did the scorer of the second goal control the ball at the same place that cost us a penalty in the CL Final? That made it Portugal 2 -0.
 
Doherty played another 90 minutes for Ireland, this time in a 1-0 loss to Finland.
Stephen Kenny's trying to change the whole style of play of the team and it's not working.

Ben Davies also played a full game for Wales, as they nicked a late win against Bulgaria.

Doherty should count as home grown. We only need to annex the Republic.
 
Foden and Greenwood have been sent home for sneaking a couple of girls back into the team hotel , I know they are just 18 and19 but for ****s sake lads keep it in your pants until you get home and phone Rooney , I'm sure he has some contacts under 75 with their own teeth

Does anyone think that a domestic ban for bringing the game into disrepute will follow - I doubt it they don't play in white (normally)
 
If they did , you can be sure the headline wouldn't be 'Naive' but something a lot harsher. But they are the media darlings so we can't say they were 'stupid and disgraceful'

I am wondering if the media treatment of them is tempered by (1) the teams they play for and (2) how they've been built up by pundits as the next big thing. For the record I suspect if they played for other teams their treatment would be far different. Still, could be worse. If Sterling had breached lockdown rules, all the rest of the team would have to apologise to him.

I've just seen a paper article condemning Foden and Greenwood for disgracing our once proud nation <laugh> I suggest the journalist take a good hard look around him as the government attempt to drive this " once proud nation" over the Brexit cliff so their hedge fund pay masters can make a few Bob
