“TV expert Christoph Kramer compared England’s destructive style of play at the European Championships with that of 1. FC Union Berlin. This did not go unnoticed in Köpenick.”
The funniest thing about Americans using “soccer” is that in their football only two players can actually kick the ball. If anyone else kicks it, it’s a foul.
I can definitely remember “soccer” being in relatively common usage in the 70s on World of Sport and Grandstand. I think we have forgotten that it originated amongst the same people who would refer to “rugger”.
I watched a little of the boring match with France playing.
The other team were like Man City in that when ever France counter attacked they just bought the player down. The ref awarded nothing, the most PL game I have ever seen during an international competition.
Glad i have decided to follow the commentry on TAN much more entertaining.
What’s this whinging accusation about?
I’m enjoying this on TAN!
I presume you are just confused that I haven’t a clue who’s playing when I see the teams playing except France (as thay have a big Cock on their shirts and even bigger ones running around!
I did recognise the ref.
Amusing headline, soliciting Rooney’s views on what is going wrong is a bit perverse, considering he is thoroughly established as a crap manager. If he says it is on the players…the manager probably has to go.
