So … 45 minutes of headless chicken from Raheem, hoofing hopeful long balls up front, and Rooney shooting wildly off target from 35 yards out? Oh… and that grand piano landing on Sturridge
Bongohoohaa – thd Mrs Binners bet was a fiver on Engerland going home
I may have had a cheeky bet on Iceland going through. I could cash out for a tenner now, or leave it and possibly win £50. Trying to decide if England can make a comeback.
Could do with the win, seeing as the Raheem hattrick is looking less and less likely.
We can do a tally of how many times he tries the kick the ball and misses completely. Clearly the Iceland keeper hadn’t seen his finishing, or he would have let him go.
Take first goal as an example.
Pundits on TV covered the long throw in detail before the game. Man at the front for flick on, 3 runners coming from edge of box.
You can bet the England management team also covered it in detail – several times.
And what happens in game? Totally untracked runner scores. Basics. Failed. Shit.
Why is our best striker playing out wide on the right?
Because that’s what England managers do. They picks names first, formations second. They then try and cram the names into the chosen formation. Other, teams, rightfully, choose the best player for each position of a chosen formation.
