Football

Alvaro Morata is infuriating AF.

I've still got PTSD from when he was at our place, he makes me so anxious... Can't watch him...

Incredible games, just caught up... Wow!

Don’t know what it is with him, the constant whining, fishing for fouls and pennos, excessive rolling over, por ser un niño de papá etc.

He still scored a pretty good goal though. I’m just bitter and old.

He slouches and whines, he's lazy and undynamic, a total goal hanger... What's to like?

All would be forgiven if he stuck 'em away... I think he's a bit shit, Luis Enrique is wrong...

Doesn't Saka's flexibility give Southgate the option to play Saka at full back and start Grealish?

I would prefer Saka over Shaw at LB anyway.

just caught up with yesterdays highlights. can imagine they would be cracking live.

particularly that France Switzerland game.

not sure if will watch England game today. will depend on how harrowing the Tour is I guess.

but i can guarantee you this. if it goes to Penalties I will be watching. and I really hope it does.

Er. He sounds ace.

Edit : Like you said, if he stuck them away.
I'd worship a player who scores but seems to do nothing.

Some awful news:

Ronaldo?

Viera to Palace. That's some climb down from Favre and Nuno. With all the players they have out of contract they could be in trouble next season.

That's definitely going to push me over the edge to supporting Germany I think.

When will we get the @snottyotter clan FIFA predictions for tonights games?

We're all at home with Covid so been getting some practice in today playing a women's tournament. Shortly I'll start getting pissed for the last time until I stop isolating and will then have a go at a Germany prediction with the difficulty about level with our ineptitude.

That's a very risky gig. I have them down for the drop.

Team announced, now have dread

Two lots of 3-4-3. This game is gonna be shit...

Southgate is just like Pep, except his idea of a perfect team isn't 11 midfielders, it's 11 defenders

he's a bit shit, Luis Enrique is wrong...

Concurred.

I'd worship a player who scores but seems to do nothing.

Like Raúl?

FIFA predictions in, very predictable. Shocking first half with some pointless last ditch defending, no idea how it ended up at 0-0, very lucky. Southgate must've said something wonderful at half time, Harry Kane finally came good and got a goal at fifty something minutes and we looked alright for a while, the Germans got back in it from a corner and I thought it was over until a lovely through ball got Foden (Gareth's team selection is not the same as FIFA's) from midfield on the end and a beautiful curling finish left Wembley with no social distancing in place. I thought we had it but a classic England scrappy last 5 minutes let the Germans back in. Extra time was tense but no further goals led to dreaded penalties where my daughter's lack of understanding of the game mechanics meant 3 Southgatesk sky balls and a German win. I'm knackered.

I forgot Stirling's last minute extra time run like a tiny T-rex down the left from halfway to fluff the shot, could've won it for us.

KÖNNEN WIR BOOGIE, lads ?

Our bench would make a pretty exciting team. (Especially if there was a centre forward on it).

German fans waving pro-LGBTQ+ placards while England fans boo their anthem. The gulf in class obvious before a ball is kicked.

I don't like the booing of an anthem gives the opposition fule to the fire. Think it will be technical game

It will technically be a game.
