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

Wow. Big quality there from Russia. Worth waiting for. Sorry Ugot.

 

If Simo Häyhä had a seat in the arena that goal wouldn't have occurred.

 

Lol. The game wouldn't have even taken place. Pew!! Pew Pew!! Ping Ping!!

 

Commentators at first think it's like the Eriksen situation. Oh no, a player has collapsed! Wait, another one! What's going on? Now yet another Russian player is on ground!

 

No fizzy 50p Ashbeck water when i got to Tescojones. Ootrage. I blame Brexit.

 

And these guys won't be getting resuscitated or tweeting about it either

 

Man City at Spurs in Premier League opener

Everton at home to Southampton

Liverpool away to Norwich

Spurs face Citeh

 

Finland threw the game as they didn't want to risk being poisoned with polonium 210.

 

PUTONIUM 1-0

 

Was Australia put in as a late replacement for Wales? I didn't see anything on the news about it.

Maybe i just have the wrong stream.

 

I was thinking the exact same. THERE is NO reason for any side to play in a colour that does not feature in their national flag. Italy? BLUE???
Wales are all over this lot so far.

 

Where are Cahill and Viduka? I wonder what goes through some of these manager's heads.

 

Classic desperation stuff from both sides. Wales finishing has not been representative of the clubs their players represent-Juventus, Spurs United etc.

 

Never mind Cahill. What about this lad?

Try writing a book like this today...

 

I have to finish my book about hockey in Italy before i take on that one.

 

Bale converts the penalty to add the extras. Too much Rugby on the brain.

 

Stick or twist?

 

Great save

 

And Dan James with the heavy heavy cross

 

Robbie Savage. Literally the stupidest cunt on Earth. A moron with nothing to say and a sing song voice to say it with. Tears, songs.... Waaah. Gimme my £8

 

stick

 

Any chance when Bale is interviewed after that match he says was this was revenge for the Armenian genocide?

 

Good, if wasteful, performance from Wales.

 

You ever think of doing this professionally?

 

Italy playing like good teams used to.

 

Hopefully they don't resort to catenaccio crap as soon as they face a side with a little bit of firepower.

 

Its part of the game...but they've got an attacking streak to go with it.

 

Italy have impressed me the most so far.

I hate Switzerland, they seem to qualify for every major tournament but never do anything when they get there.

 

Agreed on both counts. Italy look-LOOK-like big teams used to.

Totally effortless in their attacks, theres none of this mad hectic nonsense...refreshingly willing to SHOOT the ball too. SHOOT!!!

The Swiss? They benefit from the diaspora of football mad nations but predictably lack the national fervour to drive on to any meaningful level.

Remember them and the Ukrainians met in the 2nd round of the Worlds one year...it went to penalties in the worst game ever.
