There has been an Octopus, crab, hippo and elephant that I can remember. Don't know how MrsBinners record stacks up but the sausages are in the freezer as we speak. Do we draw lots for the dog as usual?
Sako in as a counter to Maehle. He's a better shield in front of Walker than Sancho or Grealish, although at the expense of a bit of unpredictability in attack. Depending on how the game goes I expect he'll come off around 60 or 70 minutes. Hendo if in the lead, Sancho/Grealish if not.
Big banana skin here for England. 8 guys, 11 goals. Can't just mark one guy out of thr game. The press are banging on with nonsense about what'll happen when England lift the trophy at Wembley.
If the players look as terrified as they did in the tunnel for the last couple of semis, they are finished before they start. If not, there is hope.
Buckle up. I think the first 15 minutes are going to be banging. Denmark high energy, high press, trying to use Dolbergs pace and Maehle. Just like Belgium. If England survive, game on.
It's coming home 😛
Not if the centre halfs get opened up that easily
first touch has been poor on three or four occasions, when a bit of composure would have found us in decent positions. Part nerves, part the intensity from Denmark.
And Jordan just needs to calm down a bit.
They all need to calm down. I was surprised by how willing they were to play the quick ball forward. Even more surprised that they were finding space to do it between the Danish lines. That's not the defending I'd expect from the Danes. The reds have settled down, the whites haven't. The spaces aren't there anymore but they are still trying to hit them.
It's not coming home 😳
Superb free kick! Pickford maybe should have saved it but still...
Some goal, that.
Couldn’t help feeling if Pickford had bigger hands… 😀
Christensen had been watching Italy. That was a dive. Cracking free kick though
He can’t reach up to the crossbar
He can’t reach up to the crossbar
He can’t reach up to the crossbaaaaaar
He’s only got little arms
Yeeeeesssss. Great free kick but Pickitoutofthenet shoulda done better.
all ball watching gathering around the ball. no width and kane back deep again.
Saaaaave!!
EDIT: And the equaliser!!
and kane back deep again.
He isn't going to beat the giants the Danes have at the back in the air, so dropping off and playing low balls in for Sterling to run onto is smart.
yesss denmark score again
Lovely dive from Sterling!
Let's hope the keeper coach had a word with Pickford. He was wound up tighter than a bomb disposal techs sphincter.
Lee Dixon says ‘level head’ just as they did a close up on Maguire. I laughed.
So much for Northern European teams not playacting and diving eh!
They both had their arms up. Apparently outjumping your opponent is a yellow now. Ridiculous.
someone needs to have a word with maguire as he looks like hes about to explode
If it was really the head injury he was claiming how is he allowed to continue playing under concussion rules?
So much for Northern European teams not playacting and diving eh!
Both teams tbf
Not really surprising given that absurd yellow but yeah, he's got to get his head together, play the game
Both teams tbf
Yup that's what I meant
If it was really the head injury he was claiming how is he allowed to continue playing under concussion rules?
Macguire got a yellow, so he doesn't have to go off if he receives treatment on the field.
And Macguire continues to play with fire.
Schmeichel shows hows its done, calm and efficent and pickford seems like a shouty child with ants in his pants
Help! Why can I not see the match?!?
We have been trying to get it since 20:00, and although the ‘home page’ on my tv says to ‘watch now’ on the ITV Hub, the match isn’t there. It’s literally not an option anywhere once you log onto ITV.
Just watch it on normal telly...
It's a bit weird but you have to select the watch live option on the left menu then scroll right and select watch live again for the match. At least that's how it is on my Samsung TV app.
@grum, when I click ‘watch live’, I get a menu to my right with itv2, itvBe, itv3, and itv4, but none of these have a game of any sort listed.
@jambourgie, I haven’t had a regular tv for many years. 🙁
Hmmm it does come up on mine once I've selected watch live on the left but it's not very intuitive. It's itv the main channel that it's on
As a desperate measure you could try hesgoal
itv hub was stuffed up a few games ago. just replaying the 3 second clip. Ended up switching on the freesat. check on your phone etc
‘He does fall over sometimes as well..’
Boy, who said Southgate doesn't gamble. Grealish on the left means Sterling on the right which means Maehle is unmarked.
Could easily be a pen. Soft but it's a foul imo. Probably not enough to overturn the ref on the field though.
Someone wanna explain what the VAR guys were doing there?
Edit: with all those monitors, I'm leaning towards epic Fortnite tourney.
Big Kane, kicks the defender, goes down like he's been hit with a cruise missile. Pesky Italians, eh?. 🤣
Big Kane, kicks the defender,
Toepoked the ball actually. As the replay pretty clearly showed.
You know when Lee Dixon says it's not a penalty for England, well, that.
Was 6 and half a dozen, but the dying swan doesn't help your cause. England look like they're the only team capable of winning this as it stands, bit early to be hanging on for pens.
one of those where he couldn't really keep the ball but by toepoking past the defender means the defender misses the challenge, and creates the contact
Could easily have been given
Defender didn't get the ball, got the man. Soft but anywhere else in the field as they say.
As one of the analysts said a few days ago, the way the game is these days, you have to go down to force the ref into a choice.
@nobeerinthefridge is looking out for England dives the only way you can enjoy football now? 😛
the dying swan doesn’t help your cause.
In this case I agree but sadly, often it does
Wasn't a pen. Kane was looking for it.
Italy won't be worried watching this game
