DeBruyne what a player. Belgium suddenly exciting again

 

[danvilla2]

KDB is ten times the player Eden Hazard is

 

[CDX_EIRE]

I can't work out of the Danes are very good, or Belgium are just crap.

Probably the clearest way to see it, brutal in the first half without KDB and then getting even better with Hazard and Witsel on.

Belgians = useless without KDB

 

[CDX_EIRE]

England vs. Belgium would be a great game. Two shocking defences with even worse keepers behind them.

 

[Divine_islet]

Really rooting for an equalizer !

 

[The Fear]

I make no apologies for confirming IF Jack and Tyrone aren't selected, I will definitely be shouting for SJM and Scotland.

.

Goodness me Pride.

I think that is ridiculous. (With all due respect )

I shall be hoping from start to finish, for an England win, I'm English, I support my country, not individual players. It is a team game and a 1000 other cliches.

And Jack might well be saved for the knockout phase, but as good as he is, he's not the be-all and end-all internationally and I would expect he'd agree, in the full knowledge, this is a team game and a squad game.

As Amy Winehouse sung, what kind of fuckery is this!?

 

[danvilla2]

I might celebrate a little inside if SJM scores a screamer

 

[danvilla2]

Why are the cameras even showing Arnoutovic and effigies of him on the camera? What a ****

 

[Divine_islet]

Well taken simple penalty.

Someone else may have already pointed this out but its shocking just how much better VAR is with proper officials running it as opposed to the jokers hired by the FA. Do we need to start importing referees as well.

Standard of on the field refereeing is much better too, gone are the days when the European refs blow up for every small infringement. I felt some of the England players on the weekend were expecting fouls to be given they would’ve got over here, but the continental refs seem to let more go (and rightfully in my view).

 

[JW1985]

I know he'd scored a penalty but I'm just not seeing anything in Memphis Depay that shows why Barcelona are signing him.

 

[Pangloss]

KDB is ten times the player Eden Hazard is

Best in the world in his position by a long shot.

 

[The Fear]

Not sure this is going to end well tomorrow?!

Still, at least the pandemic is over.

I don't think we are alone in loving SJM as the Scottish start to arrive in London.

He's only with you on loan for a short while though lads and Lasses.

Poor effort.

Where is the middle WHO ! after the first ‘we’ve got Mcginn ’.

C - , must do better .

 

[mike_field]

No, I can imagine good natured banter and spirits will quickly go wrong after the final whistle.

Not bad for a bunch of Sweaties though.

1) they’re skint
2) he’s a free agent
3) they have a Dutch manager

They’ve definitely gone down hill haven’t they

 

[Melon Donkey]

Ha!.

Just talking on the beeb about Gazza’s goal against Scotland . Don’t remember Jimmy Hill banging on at half time about Gazza being shocking and should be given 10 mins before being dragged off in the second half

 

[villasince67]

Can someone knowledgable about the European game tell me how Martin Braithwaite is at Barcelona? He looks wank to me. From Toulouse and Boro, to Barca, how’s that work?

Ask Josep Maria Bartomeu why he panicked and bought him out from Getafe and then compounded his cock-up by giving him a four and half year contract. They even got special permission to get him out of the transfer window as Dembele was injured [again & again]. Total farce from Bartomeu and his purchase cant hit a barn door - even worse than KPB. Thank God JMB is no longer there.
