st albans fox

Effectively both players went for it on the 18th the better drive won it A winning fox at last in ‘26

I don’t expect it to happen but if Argentina win this without too much bother then the weak side of the draw will have been the strongest!

When was the last time a 39 y o played outfield in a World Cup final ? answer never - oldest was a Brazilian defender in 1962 aged almost 38 We are watching history - it’s crazy. Be really interesting to see how Spain marginalise him - England did a good job for an hour.

Dunno i think they'll look after it really well if that happens maybe better for them to chase (and we know Argentina will make it a scrap if they go ahead)

Been wondering this every day for the past three and a half years …. finally I can sleep knowing it wasn’t Chanel or Hermes

Understated

I’m sure they’ve said they’ll deal with it post tournament

Young would love to have that 18th tee shot again

Is there a sell on to his Portuguese club ?

Sky pundits reckon -11 or -12 will be enough today pretty sure it will be -13. One of the boys on -8 will shoot 65 or burns will shoot 67.

Both tackles were high the ref commented on the first one which he said was across the shoulder there was no comment on curry’s tackle which forced the try into touch. of course it may have been judged that the Argentinian fell into it but they definitely didn’t discuss that one.

Thankfully they were so wrapped up on the grounding that they avoided checking where curry’s tackle was. If judged high then a penalty try which makes it 31-31

Might be rice for a short time

Second game that quansah started and couldn’t finish how many unfit defenders did we take ??.

Trying to give unused players minutes nearly cost us that game from 4-0 up watkins wasn’t the player to replace rashford - should have been Gordon. Toney stayed on too long. our lack of another six with two unavailable meant rice had to stay on when he was running on empty. Anderson should have come on earlier to shore up that screen in front of the back 4. and Bellingham is the best 8 in world football. running from deep is his biggest strength. He’s not as good a ten. His ability means he can do that job but you then stifle his running with the ball. we have others who can play as a ten (if we need to have one). if we can find some better defenders then we can win something.

Rory didn’t hold back on his opinion of the incident …….(and Bryson)

Absolutely isn’t but the way of governing where you fly a kite and see who shouts it down and how loudly has become a thing and smacks of weak leadership imo

Word is now that burnham will not issue new drilling licenses …….. different leader, same u turns ????.

U mean this on FB ?

They only extended his contract a few months ago Whoever authorised that can’t afford to sack him now the FA funds are for the game across the whole country, not the FA - if they chuck around £15/20m like that then their positions are surely untenable imagine an organisation where abject failure is rewarded …………….

We can’t afford to sack tuchel a break was only a negotiable option if we failed to reach the last 16 euro 28 at home is winnable but we can’t beat France or Spain without a huge mentality change where we can keep the ball under pressure. Selecting players like Wharton might help (and hopefully a keeper who is totally comfortable with his feet )

Saw a video of Clark doing something similar yesterday (in a scenario with light fescue) where he steps across behind his lie to take a practice swing less obvious but no reason whatsoever to do it. Players will obviously not be doing that today !

They couldn’t have planned for such a dry period burning out the rough the wind is blowing this afternoon and could become quite stiff in a couple of hours

England players are petrified of making the mistake that costs us so they go into hiding wont show for the ball or the second pass And our keeper isn’t confident enough with his feet to take the pressure off the receiver We generally do better chasing the game for that reason - we don’t want to be pressed the weight of history still weighs too heavy on that shirt. The coach has to change that mentality of fear. Southgate had a good go at it and our loss to Spain in euro 24 was because they were just too good for us. But events in 2021 and 2018 did for Gareth. tuchel failed to help on Wednesday evening - he had the second half drinks break to get into their heads but he couldnt do it. And then he doubled down on their fear with the 72 min sub.

At this time, neither club have been found guilty of any psr breaches. Isn’t there a time bar on these things ??
