samboy Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Hi gang. I love it when at the end of a match it goes to the above. Anyone else or is it just me ?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 They should do this from the start. Get it all over in just 1 day. That would be brilliant. Good suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gu5 Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Are you crazy? When England play the roads are dead, best time to take the bike for a ride - let’s hipe they go right through to the end ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbird Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Why just don’t have the game just penalty shoot out then the World Cup would be all over in one day for another 4 yrs, save us all from watching all the play acting. ?

Vince Green Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I just thought there was some rubbish football going on yesterday. The object is to score goals not just keep passing the ball endlessly round and round the midfield. Spain in particular looked like they were trying to go for some sort of record for time wasting.

Mungler Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Yes, Spain chalked up a record number of passes but did nothing with that possession - I think they got less than half a dozen shots on target. The Croatia game was pretty dull too; Croatia didn't win it, Denmark lost it. I hope we've practised our penalties because it's all heading that way.

There is a reason for "recycling" the ball around the midfield. The team in possession is searching for an opening. This happens normally against a defensive team. It is preferable to watching the Wimbledon style from the '80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team in possession is searching for an opening. This happens normally against a defensive team. It is preferable to watching the Wimbledon style from the '80s That's right based on the assumption they really are searching for an opening. That suggests a couple of strikers should be moving upfield ready to start an attack at some stage. In the Spain match I was talking about that wasn't happening. They were just churning for churning sake and every now and then send the ball back to the goalkeeper. Nothing that looked like an attacking formation was even starting to take shape at the sharp end. That's why I said in a previous post they had the aura of disinterest. Get this match over and we can all go home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes agree, Well done England for winning after playing against a side who should have received at least three Red cards. What a weak Ref he turned out to be. Mind you some of our passing of the ball was diabolical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think overall our team were ok and had the bit of luck needed. Hopefully will have extended their experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) The Mrs was watching it while I was sitting outside having a beer, popped in and caught the drama queens all lined up for a free kick. It took them 4 minutes to take it with one of the England blokes taking a slight knock to the chest and chin. You can see the delayed time from contact to the guy playing hurt then falling to the floor. Believe me if you get a head butt or a punch to the face you don't wait to see if someone's looking to start rolling round in pain. Bloomin drama sport for the wooftas. Hilarious.

Jason_ox Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 It’s funny though I thought the same as Dougy, bunch of wussies etc but the more I’ve watched the WC it’s come to light all this rolling around on the floor is for an advantage free kick/penalty etc the acting is something else.
