Even Vardy detached himself from the national side whilst a chance (albeit diminishing) of playing Interesting point you make about Vardy - my interest dwindled after he retired.

I wish contributors on here would respect the right of others to hold different opinions & emotions without going overboard in dismissive comments. It is a discussion board and the variety of opinions should be welcomed. As for the club v country debate, maybe age is a factor in the different sides taken. I err on the very old side, having been an avid Leicester supporter from about 1956. I've lived through all the ups and downs of City, including the 3 Cup final defeats, as well as following England since well before the World Cup win. I can understand that many supporters have had their interest in the England team diluted over the years by the cynical England set-up, by the continual overhypeing by the gutter press, by the ridiculous overreaction of some English fans, etc etc. None of those things stop you being proud of your country and supporting it in sporting events, but some prefer to show it in a more restrained and measured way.

Sampson Posted 9 July 2021 Posted 9 July 2021 I don't think anyone has a problem with preferring you're club. It's just those fans who say "I'd rather see Leicester win a throw in than England win a tournament" But now cheer on England and celebrate wildly now England are doing well. There's so many people who've moaned about international breaks and Sterling being picked over Harvey Barnes and who say they don't care about England who are now suddenly basking in the glory now England are doing well If it was the other way round to people supporting Leicester we'd all be calling them all glory grabbers and cringey. The same applies for England. So many people who constantly slag off England are all of a sudden becoming die-hard England fans. 4

Proper nutjob and it'd be f'in hilarious. 5
Jonezy Posted 9 July 2021 Posted 9 July 2021 Just became a dad again apparently. Grats to the Schmeichel family. 2

I'm struggling to hold conversations with those that have never shown an interest in football in their lives but do now.

Pretty low. If noticed at the time, I wonder what the outcome might have been. Retaken penalty at least I'd guess, though given it wasn't a particularly good penalty wouldn't be that much of a punishment. Don't think Kasper actually noticed it though (you can bet he'd have complained loudly and at length if he had ) Seriously though, you want to win fairly. Schmeichel noticed the laser - admittedly not during the penalty, but before that. He said it came from his right side and a bit behind him. Both he and Højbjerg made the referees aware of it. 1

I was saying this to my dad the other week. He's never had a bad run of form, the odd mistake as with any keeper, but it's never ran into 2,3,4 games. He's been so consistent over the last ten years, he's been incredible and should be held in the highest esteem by everyone not only for what he's achieved, his driven force and professionalism but also what he's been through while at our club. Legend. 1

Wymsey Posted 20 July 2021 Posted 20 July 2021 Perhaps he could be backtracking on what he initially said to a reporter.

Seems more likely that it was a made up load of nonsense to begin with. If he’d actually said it then he’d be apologising for speaking in heat of the moment. If he says he didn’t say it then I believe him.
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 20 July 2021 Posted 20 July 2021 Doesn't sound like something Kasper would say. But so what if he did? 1
LCFCCHRIS Posted 20 July 2021 Posted 20 July 2021 (edited) https://mobile.twitter.com/kschmeichel1/status/1417429610556542986 Edit: already posted. But yeah he didn't say anything about the ref or not wanting England to win. Edited 20 July 2021 by LCFCCHRIS
AKCJ Posted 20 July 2021 Posted 20 July 2021 You've got to be fairly mental to go around making up quotes for social media clicks and likes. 1
Popular Post eblair Posted 20 July 2021 Popular Post Posted 20 July 2021 Just one further thing about how good Kasper is. How often do you get keepers or players that turn up in top games, Schmeichel has blinders in our biggest games. If you listed some of his best performances they are in some of his biggest games: Leicester 2 West Ham 2 FA Cup Final World Cup round of 16 champions league games against Sevilla Euro semi finals ^that takes serious bottle and hallmark of world class player 8
coolhandfox Posted 20 July 2021 Posted 20 July 2021 (edited) Why would it matter if he wanted England to win ore not. Something out of nothing again. Edited 20 July 2021 by coolhandfox

I agree entirely, so what, he's Danish and is entitled to his opinion. Like it or not, Sterling did on occasions dive or as some pundits put it when it's one of there own 'went down a little bit easy'. Likewise it made me smile when England supporters claimed the moral high ground against the Italians whilst failing to recognise that we'd got a player in Kane who on the Wembley turf at times was more reminiscent of Bambi on ice 🤣. 2

His penalty saving record is outstanding. I genuinely wouldn't want another goalkeeper. Saying that, you could also say that Divok Origi turns up in big games

I think the Sterling incident was viewed 50/50 by the England fans which tells you something about it... 1
