Quarter Finals

First decent team England face and they don't do anything.

Better team for most of the game

Only for dead ball situations. If he catches it he can roll around for quite a bit before kicking it. Pickford does that so we'll btw

Not true at all - the keeper is only supposed to have it in their hands for 6 seconds at any given time

 

[DualityNSNO]

8 minutes has literally been the average this world cup to be fair

Aye but usually for a reason, like a lot of var and all that. Barely any long stops and 8 min is just random

They are more than decent and England have played pretty well, much better than against Croatia and Italy.

I wonder if there's a support group for England penalty takers?

Yes they meet at pizza hut

 

[chicoazul]

French lad in the crowd there caught calling England “Fat tattooed king noncing hype ferrets” which I thought was a little unfair.

I wonder if there's a support group for England penalty takers?

Every time they gather together everyone that has pulled on the Three Lions, right?

 

[Azza]

Better team for most of the game

*checks the score*

 

[Kurt.]

Should just throw the kitchen sink at it now surely

Give it ten minutes after leaving the stadium …

They’ve mostly played well and had a go against the team that’s probably going to win it all

There’s no need for them to feel any shame for that

Yeah but also they can wait for the ball to roll on it to catch, etc.

 

[evilwebby]

Typical England when the pressure is on mate.

Golden era generation often played like it was the first time they had got together

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

The big question, for me, is did @MaupsGoat get his curry yet?

 

[USABlue]

8 minutes has literally been the average this world cup to be fair

Makes sense, pretty sure I was something last year that the ball was only in play for like 60% of gametime in the prem

But France still haven’t played anywhere near there best, we more or less have.
