SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2020/21

I can still recall old Mister Barnslow getting out every morning and nailing a fresh load of tadpoles to the old board of his. Then he'd spin it round and round, like a wheel of fortune, and no matter where it stopped he'd yell out, "Tadpoles! Tadpoles is a winner!" We all thought he was crazy. But then we had some growing up to do.

 

Prime Minister is now condemning booing and ordering country- which he has locked down again- to get behind the team.

I foresee huge booing tomorrow.

Scotland, The Slave, will take the knee ONLY for the game with England.

Pick the fucking peanuts out of that one.

 

Fuck, looks like Cristian Eriksen has had a heart attack. Doesn't look good at all.

 

It looks very bad indeed.

He just staggered forward and straight down.

TV people need to have a loom at themselves here too, they could have cut away a good bit sooner.

 

He died only recently.

 

BBC now showing some gardening instead.

 

Shocking.

If his aorta burst, then nothing can be done.

If it was a heart attack, the fact that medical staff was there inside seconds and that they gave him an oxygen mask when he was carried out gives a little bit hope.

 

Just a question of waiting now i think.

SOME of the fans seemed very slow in getting the memo that an emergency was underway.

 

Game has not been officily pulled yet but its going to be, has to be.

 

It will definitely get canceled. The question is whether or not Denmark will continue the tournament and that probably depends on the upcoming news

 

Agreed. I don't see Denmark staying on if worst comes to worst.

The problem is replacing them... Most other teams have broken up for the Holidays.....it would probably have to instead involve some sort of mathematical chicanery to decide who gets what.

2020's effects are far reaching yet....

 

Looks like they got him going again

 

Big announcement due at 1845h

 

Fantastic, props for the medical staff!

I already thought that I must clean my life habits and make every moment count from now on. Now it seems that I can carry on the same way after all

 

Its ironic.... He lives cleaner than any of us can imagine. But he's in hospital and I'm contemplating pizza. Funny game.

 

Liam Brady crying in Dublin...... "i thought he'd been hit by a coin"

Jesus Liam it must have been some coin.

 

UEFA will have that 18:45h update any minute now...

 

Uhhhhh game is now restarting.

 

Both teams requested it after hearing Eriksen was ok. Bizzarre.

 

I think they should stop talking about it now.....

 

Schmeichel with the error

 

Wasn't a pen for me, right outcome with the save.

 

Scoring chances 22-1 for Danes, Hradecky and a poor penalty taker saved the day for the Finns

 

I cannot recall a country as large, as relatively populous and as well-funded as Russia that has been so steadfastedly SHIT down the years in every major tournament.

And I excluded the USSR teams of 1986 and 1988 as they were.........USSR, not Russia.

 

Yeah that one's always puzzled me too. They did alright in 2018 but rode their luck to get to the quarters. 2008 has been the only time they've impressed me but yeah for the most part they are dire.

 

O i had forgotten about 2008 but that was 13 years ago.
In 2018 they were hosts and beat Egypy and Saudi in group games before beating Spain on pennos and losing to Croatia likewise.

In between they got baszhed by Uruguay, population 4.5m

 

That is/was a golden generation Uruguay team...however, the russians are really dour, 2018 was just host country spirit, they were almost as bad then, was impressed with how the belgians took out the trash
