This was before the Germany vs. Portugal match.

Didn’t say much.

  • he did not watch much football but he tries to watch games where Liverpool players are involved.

  • said he would prefer Germany to play with a back four. And didn’t sound like he is a fan of any system with 3 (5) at the back.

  • would love to see a midfield 3 with Kimmich, Gündogan and Kroos.

No, its England are like Tottenham which Kevin Hatchard is referring to in this respect.

Tbh, i didn’t really properly start supporting England until Italia 90. It was difficult times in the late 1970s and 1980s, with the hooliganism and minority bigots and our parents were reluctant to let us go to the matches.

:joy::rofl::rofl:. Oh my word, Crouchy was very awkward player when he scored goals. I remember his scissor kick goals against Bolton and CL Galataseray.

I noticed with some of the German analysis, all the commentators (pundits) are always standing in the studio. Is this common?

Sorry, don’t want to get into a tit for tat, but clearly England are West Ham:

“The whole England v Germany rivalry is a bit like Tottenham v West Ham. One has a real problem with the other and is absolutely desperate to beat them,(West Ham/England) but the other team has rivalries it feels more strongly, and is a bit bemused by the intensity of the whole thing.(Spurs/Germany)” . It is definitely more important to England than Germany. The Germans consider Italy and Spain as their real rivals.

Have you slipped lftikhar into that line-up Livvy…? :wink:
If so… which one is he :0)

Ronaldo = Higuita

Foden = cunt

Hazard - didn’t recognized him

Mbappe looks like those footballers from Cameroon in Italia 90. Well his father is from Cameroon.

Hummels = not so Wee Joe Allen

Modric = Wee Joe Allen

Thiago - I have no words.

Donnaruma = Ron Jeremy

Probably due to 1995 Cup winner’s cup final, score at 1-1 and only a few seconds remaining to go to penalties. Then Nayim lobs Seaman from a similar position from the Ronaldinho freekick. Seaman could’ve saved it had he not jumped a fraction of a second too early.

Henderson on Klopp after England discovered they would play Germany next: “As soon as the final whistle went he just sent me a smiley face emoji!”

I’m sorry Maria but I think you’re going to be disappointed. The losing teams in the round of 16 don’t have a play off. :astonished:

Very late in the day this but I’ve come up with a Gilmour /Chilwell/ Mount explanation that holds water.
Gilmour tested positive and Scotland could credibly show everyone else in their squad had kept inside the bubble outside of the periods connected to travel to Wembley and the game itself. Crucially, to my knowledge no-one in the Scottish camp has a track record of breaking bubble protocols in the 18 months. Almost 30% of the English squad have been caught once at least breaking these protocols. Mount, Chilwell
Foden, Walker etc.
Gilmour,Mount and Chilwell are repeat offenders
From 24 April this Spring when police caught the three of them at a party at Chilwell’s home but didn’t press charges.
And Chilwell again at a birthday party last year with Sancho and players who didn’t make the squad.
It really always looks like it involves that complete bellend, doesn’t it?

Think Foden is een excellent player who I love to see playing for us, have no idea why you think he is a cunt.

Can’t speak for @GermanRed but I would say Foden qualifies as a cunt because he broke Covid regulations to shag prostitutes while leaving his pregnant girlfriend at home.

But maybe I’m just old fashioned.

They were no prostitutes but didn’t know the part with the pregnant girlfriend which makes it worse.

A young bloke who made a mistake, Bobby Firmino was caught for drunk driving. These guys are no saints they make mistakes like we did when we were young. As long there is no pattern I’ll don’t think they are cunts.

Nah- cheating on your missus isn’t making a mistake. It’s being a cunt… especially when she’s up the duff.

Whenever it’s about dutch players you come up with this ‘most of them criminals, rappers and wannabes’.
