Been coming, hard to say it's undeserved. Come on Howe, are you asleep?

I've only seen clips of that Carragher, Richards and Henry show they do and it looks absolutely banterriffic

 

Couldn't watch a whole show

 It does sometimes get a little heavy on the banter and fake laughter. But a lot of the time is much calmer analysis, it's often a great show. But agreed it's better to just watch the clips

tripper's kid getting Mbappe's shirt  incredible

Basically 2 doable pots (E and H) and 1 hard pot (F). Come on E or H!

Have to say, don’t think I’ve been so bored watching NUFC. Regulation loss at the Etihad. Passed off the park by an utterly ridiculous city team that makes football an entirely joyless experience. Like watching someone really really good at FIFA. 

 

 

 

 Was thinking this too, can't remember being so bored by NUFC in the last year. City just too good

this forum is hilarious right now. people celebrating a goal from 5 minutes ago while others complaining about a goal given up 2 mins ago while others celebrating it being waved off by VAR now

I still have my mouth open from that Joelinton chance. How in the fuck

I may just start saying stupid stuff to myself in an English accent. 

Can get the commentary with subtitles, audio commentarys just broken. Perfect situation really

Bit of a weird answer for me as well. After the 2006 World Cup, interest in football in the US exploded overall and so did mine, and a popular online sports writer named Bill Simmons wrote a lengthy quasi-pop culture article talking about how to get into the EPL afterwards, comparing each EPL club to a bunch of US sports for reference. A couple stood out to my college roommates and I as similar to the underdog teams from big towns I grew up with - Liverpool and Newcastle. My roommates decided Liverpool was the one for them, while I wanted to be a contrarian from them, and the infamous video of Dyer and Bowyer fighting was enticing enough to follow NUFC as a lark.

Fast forward a few months to the 06-07 season, I've found this N-O forum and watched enough hilarious low-quality Chinese streams of matches to get hooked. I then graduated, moved to New York, and started waking up early in the morning to get to a pub called Nevada Smiths along with a bunch of other ex-pat Brits to watch NUFC, and a lifelong passion was formed. Despite never having made it to out to Newcastle itself or seen NUFC in person, and despite games here in Seattle often starting at 6AM or 7AM, I still manage to watch nearly every match (sometimes on a delay now when the baby wakes up too early). My now diehard Liverpool supporter friends enjoyed more success these last 17 years, but hoping to finally have the upper hand now and taste some real success after all the fallow years!

Edit: Here's the infamous article that started it all. Quite the cultural artifact of the early internet: https://www.espn.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/060719_2

Croatia finally look tired. Shame for them, scoreline is so undeserved

Our announcers in the US have been so great, Stu Holden really pointing out what's going on (e.g. Pickford distribution)

How did he miss?

This is awful from Martinez

Here we gooooooooo

What?

Stonewall pen

Ridiculous. Has to be a yellow

How has Brazil not scored yet?

Fernandinho

Feels like this first 45 flew by in the blink of an eye. Feels wrong for this to be the quarterfinals

Unstoppable

What a run by Lukaku to set that up

Is Martinez doing his Lukaku on the right wing tactic he used to do at Everton

Yep. Works well I think, good way to get KDB more involved in the center.

Belgium's shape today is so much better. A front 3 of hazard, KDB and lukaku is so good
