Yep, typical fucking cheating Italians... I'll never forgive them for what they did against the All Whites

[voodoo]

@no-quarter how could you sleep at night

[sparky]

Not a good day yesterday for Nations that make excellent chocolate.

[A Former User]

England off to a good start! Goal from Kane.

Enjoyable so far, as football goes...

[Billy Tell]

Can someone who knows about soccer tell me the point of Luke shaw? I see a holding midfielder with no attacking instinct whose signature move is a gentle tap backwards to the defensive line.

Am I missing something?

[TeWaio]

@billy-tell I know nothing about football, but they should ban the back pass to the goal keeper. So zzzzzzz

[A Former User]

@billy-tell well I don't see a point in any of them so far, hoping the more gin i have the ball will start looking the right shape and the players might fill out a bit and look less fragile.

Forgot how often footballers fall over and roll around, some guy in the banana colour just randomly decided to limbo on his own and has done himself a right mischief!

I think in ice hockey once you go over half way you can’t pass it back over the centre Line.

[Billy Tell]

If Ukraine can get one back this will be very interesting.

@billy-tell basketball has that too

[A Former User]

Engerrrrrland!

[A Former User]

And another, oooh excited now

[Billy Tell]

Ok in fairness to shaw he’s sent in the cross for the last 2 goals.

[Hooroo]

Yes. He is a defender. For starters. Left back tonight in a back 4.

Yeah I get that but he pushes up into midfield gets the ball and then tamely passes it back.

I suppose with Sterling doing his thing he doesn’t really need to offer much.

[Billy Tell]

Not sure what more one-sided. ABs va a Tongan club side of eng vs Ukraine.

His crosses have been extraordinary.
