Kid Icarus

It's still cunt behaviour. Totally down to supporters being treated (and thinking of themselves) as customers rather than supporters.

Ref was shit there tbh, he's given those as free kicks all game so far

Very easy to defend what's defendable. This tournament isn't that. And ye nah, glass houses.

"At least we've been defensively solid"

It's a weird match like. It somehow better and worse than last time.

Can't see this finishing 11 v 11 with this card fetishist

YES! Fucking get. IN!!!

13.5% wine. Be kind

£33m on the Brighton scale = better than Messi doesn't it? hahaha haha Either way, don't give a shit tbh, Edward (who I love on par with a brother I'm on good terms with) is happy with losing him, at worst begrudgingly, at best willingly, and that's all I care about. He knows more about football than me, than you, than most. My reservations are bequeathed by his prowess. Go on Edward, go on. I've had one pint.

The temptation to do a mocking TBG style post is getting harder and harder like.

Don't believe this one and generally think the 'take the points deduction' posts are mental, but this is one where it probably is better to take the deduction than sell the player. Would be an absolutely moronic move.

You know that fact about how if you win the lottery you're much more likely to fall out with friends and family, take things for granted, become paranoid, suffer from depression, lose your mind, turn to addiction, lose who you are and kill yourself etc? Anyway, how are you all handling Newcastle's summer transfer window so far?

There's nothing to suggest we ever wanted him to play for us.

McCoist

Can see why Eddie wants the Georgian 'keeper, what a save. Save of the tournament.

He's been sensational, love how direct he is.

All just doing the same thing you're mocking tbh They're mocking his appearance, that's toxic masculinity, better buy into it and call them bald and ugly

People have always complained about Southgate not playing certain players at tournaments tbf. I still remember the incredulity when he played Trippier at left back in 2018. Then it was "why isn't he playing Trent/Grealish/Foden/Bellingham/Maddison/anyone but Maguire/Dier/Henderson/Mount" at previous tournaments since then, even when we were winning. The difference now I think is that despite all the complaints in previous years, you could point to the scoreline, the players who were playing performing and scoring. Easy to forget that I think most people were happy with the squad looking like it was based on merit (a naive selection method imo) rather than his favourites. It still wouldn't surprise me if at some point we went Kane up top, Foden 10, Gordon left, Saka right, Rice and Bellingham midfield, just as everyone is saying is obvious, and for it to be an unmitigated disaster, because that's how these things seem to go. Speaking of gaslighting, me and a few others on here probably felt like we were being gaslit by others who asserted we were playing badly, x should playing, y shouldn't be playing, better players than the golden generation etc all while we were beating teams they claimed we should be beating and getting to semi finals and finals they claimed we should be winning. in a way this tournament so far has felt like a self-fulfilling prophecy because now I'm actually seeing us play and get the results that Southgate's detractors always insisted was happening.

It's 100% been shit for me personally because of expectations, that's just my own feeling on it based on what I get out of it. The fun and pluckiness that was still there at the WC has turned to resentment and expectation and I felt that going into this, not just now. Underdog England has gone, we're fully England expects England again now and I hate everything about that version of England. The 'we should be doing so much better with these players' factor has been here post 2018 and slowly crept in to the point - probably since Rice and Bellingham's transfers - that I think it's taken over as the popular opinion now. Obviously doesn't help that we've been shite as well, if we had performed like at previous tournaments it might have overridden it.

Desperate attention seeking like, so obvious

The whole tournament has felt off for me from the start tbh, I don't even feel bothered. Through all the whinging from a lot of people, 2018 to now has been a lot of fun, we've had an underdog feeling that really got everyone pulling together. But the claims from some about these players being this incredible generation have embedded themselves and there's an expectation rather than pluckiness and to me that's part of what's ruined it, everyone hates 'England expects' England.

I'm taking this as cart blanche to attribute things like "basically the Lebron James of soccer" to you

It was part of the Cole Palmer highlights
