This will be hailed as some tactical chess match where no one could get the breakthrough, won’t it?

 

It'll be described as "absorbing" which along with "chess match" and "tactical battle" are bywords for the plethora of boring games against the so called top teams.

Just had a random thought, do players define the era they play in or does the era define the players in terms of officiating...

 

Was just thinking how Fernandes operates in just the right era for his type of player, where players scream when tackled and get soft free kicks for nowt all the time. Then thought of him trying to play in the 80s when they had Robson, Whiteside and Moses in there playing on muddy shit pitches, bloke wouldn't last 90 seconds playing back then

Players adapt to the environment. Happens in every sport. Refs are dogshit and fall for dumb bullshit, so players are more likely to attempt dumb bullshit.

think they’d adjust. Those players would probably be screaming in agony  in this era too if it meant they could buy a foul or win a pen.

Commentators have been talking about this game like it’s been a fucking chess match. 

 

 

 

 

Gotta find some way to make this absolute dirge of a match seem interesting.
