Unlucky lads, I'll take me 40 points tho

Lot of good football there tho, better than I thought

Most parodiable description of ones goal ive heard in manys the year

xp yeah brady, houlihan, coleman, long all decent footballers awaiting a framework.
Trap a cunt obv

At one time I was nearly cheering another Irish goal, but forty points is forty points.

lol i am doing terribly at the predictor thing. i have plumped for 0-0 in tonight's game which on current suggests that we're gonna be on for a 7 goal thriller

Imagine being Belgium and still playing Fellaini.

Also how shit do your fullbacks need to be for you to consider breaking up the Alderweireld-Vertonghen partnership, especially with Kompany out.
― Matt DC, Monday, 13 June 2016 18:27 (eight years ago) link
yeah that does seem an odd one but then otoh i guess all of Italy's problem players are gonna be in the wide areas so mebbe you'd prefer to have your best defenders out wide? idk clutching at straws here really, i agree with you, toby/jan/thibaut promises to be a defensive combo unmatched by any except Italy and possibly Spain in this comp., would be daft not to play them together
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 13 June 2016 18:39 (eight years ago) link
Alternative Belgium left-back is Lukaku's younger brother iirc. I'd be more worried about the guy playing for Montreal who's starting tbh.
If Lukaku is still in the form he finished the season with, and the alternative is Benteke, they might struggle. Would be good to see Batshuayi, Dembele and Carrasco at some point.

by "all of Italy's problem players" i apparently meant Candreva, seeing as Insigne isn't in the team tonight and Darmian is on the right. And fuckin Fellaini in the hole for Belgium. this game could be total dogshit

awww i thought big Glenn fronted up to Zlatan admirably
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 13 June 2016 18:44 (eight years ago) link
Eder is really unconvincing. Pelle has been the only real goal threat in the last couple of matches i've seen.
Again, lots of options on the bench with El Shaarawy, Insigne, Bernadeschi, Zaza, etc.

Feel like given we're all expecting this to be poor it's primed to throw up surprises
― The Brexit Club (Noodle Vague), Monday, 13 June 2016 18:47 (eight years ago) link
xp yeah, i was living in Rome for a few months after Xmas this year following the team quite closely and it was very cool seeing El Shaarawy come back into form at last, I hope he gets some time in these Euros.
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 13 June 2016 18:48 (eight years ago) link
Giaccherini is shite

― Windsor Davies, Monday, 13 June 2016 19:32 (eight years ago) link
Absolutely. Terrific pass.

exorbitantly talented tho flaky Belgians getting turned over by underrated pragmatic Italians, who saw this coming
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 13 June 2016 19:34 (eight years ago) link
(tho i shd note that i plumped for 0-0 on the BBC predictor so clearly i did not see this coming)

Oh dear Oh dear Lukaku. Dat pass from DeBruyne tho.

Mertens v good ever since he came on.
DeBruyne though. Thats what you call an off-day.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 13 June 2016 20:29 (eight years ago) link
Giaccherini has been excellent. Maybe The Prem didnt suit him
― Neptune Bingo (Michael B), Monday, 13 June 2016 20:30 (eight years ago) link
He was poor enough til the goal but vg since

Origi shouldnt be on this pitch either.
― Daithi Bowsie (darraghmac), Monday, 13 June 2016 20:39 (eight years ago) link
DeBruyne playing shit yet still giving both Lukaku and Origi massive assists. Makes u think.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 13 June 2016 20:40 (eight years ago) link
Secomd of debruyne worth a century of whelan caps is what it makes me think
