Olywhites had an attacking chance but chose to kick it back, their negative tactics cost them a free kick in a dangerous position and a YC for Stenseness

I haven't been keeping up with the news. Is that a new variant of coronavirus?

It was. Obviously not a good one

I’ve gone from watching an exciting game with 14 women trying to bash two shades of shit out of each other then springing up for more to watching 22 men (well maybe 11) falling over in agony if someone gets too close to them.
And it’s fucking tedious.

Definitely far less direct ⚽️. The loss of Reid has destabilised our defence. Japanese are starting to create chances

Sarpreet Singh is not in our squad. A Bayern Munich prospect isn't good enough for the Olywhites?

Maybe you should finish the joke with a drumstick for effect? 🥁

[canefan]

Woud makes a great save from a point blank Japanese goal chance

[canefan]

We are under pressure now, Japanese are cranking up the offence

Dont think he was released.

They agreed not to select Singh as he is to be loaned out to another Bundesliga club and would have missed preseason.
