Why would you target a player?
Because you know you can rile him up and get a reaction.
Not really. People who are similar can conflict on some issues.
Their humour is very sarcastic/ironic like ours, they have a similar arrogance, and actually a similar love of queing in an orderly fashion
The main thing I gleaned from that video was just how much of a routine save it would have been for a decent keeper. Couldnāt give a bollocks about the celebration.

Have you seen Joe HartĀ“s theory about the ball being dodgy and fooling keepers out of routine saves?
I didnt buy it like
FFS, obviously you didnāt get it, you arenāt part of the goalkeepers union pffft
That is exactly what Pickford did on the shot!

Depends
yes to how he manages to make the routine look world classā¦ hes a bit of a comedy to be honestā¦
but onto the celebrationā¦ that was pretty funnyā¦ and yeah, kinda agree, needed a bit of a responseā¦
in the grander scheme of things, some of the argy bashing is pretty OTT from this placeā¦
they arent all horrible ā¦ they just play for keeps. theres a bit of Aussie cricket about them to be honestā¦and i think people just hate on that single mindedness and that āall inā kind of additude.
but lets face it, when they play for usā¦as inSuarez play for usā¦you can see why their home fans love them.
its sport as it should beā¦ everything. skill, passion, emotion.
good on Jude for giving it backā¦ part of the theatreā¦ maybe, MAYBE @Quicksand has a point, its a bit snide.
buts its better than little golf claps and a guard of honour or some such shitā¦
back to Pickfordā¦yeahā¦routine thatā¦ how has he got 100 capsā¦ridiculous
The irony of this is that there is only around 210 countries in FIFA, so by claiming to have the support of 200, he is saying he has similar level of support as Putin or Xi Jinping

Maybe weāll see more Falkland Island protests tonight, given that France were the first to settle there
The English swapped it for Dunkirk so thatās an iligitamate claim.
The French are demanding the channel islands back btw 
.
Minor point, but it irritates me when AI screws up little details. England have two No 11s, two 6s, and no goalkeeperā¦
ā¦ actually, it might have got the last bit right.

I would have taken him instead of Dan Burn 100%. Maguire or Burn up front chasing the game? No contest.

Terrific as it is to hear the uninterrupted perspective of people from extra-regional, nuclear-armed areas of the world, Argentina does have a legitimate claim to Las Malvinas, those āpointless islandsā, which sit alongside the claim to Antarctica. The UK is not invested in the region and it is an entirely hostile claim, existing for no reason other than potential destabilisation. Itās nothing but a bit of militarist expansionism from the British and itās fueled by the vicious nationalism for which the British are so well known.
If Las Malvinas are nothing but āpointless, penguin filled islandsā, then leave. Guerra sucia, Milei and the occupation of Palestine were/are not funded by an Argentine.
Also, if ValentĆn called Bellingham a āloserā, he was not wrong.

It doesnāt much matter if you are a goalie or not. It was poor goalkeeping.
You are more likely to get none goalkeepers bigging up standard saves.
The Pickford one prior to it when he tipped it over was big standard but you had the numpty on commentary goā¦ great save.
