SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2023/2024

Great tournament so far. Austria,Slovenia,Slovakia,Serbia,Romania all totally unafraid and prepared to have a go....

 

Lol ref plays advantage after a clear foul , let's Thuram drive on, Thuram skies one high a d wide and then the ref turns around to tell the injured Frenchy "hey, I gave your mate the advantage, be quiet "

 

Karma. Turtle pretends to be hurt to the face. Gets a free kick. Ball comes in. Turtle gets his face smashed open.

 

Lol that's hilarious. He feigned a blow to the face to win the free kick then got cleaned out trying to score from the same free kick. Off he goes to have his nose reset. And now he's booked for refusing to leave the field to have his treatment.

 

Great game. Austria fearless..really deserved something.

 

Mbappe is a natural heel, when he first came on the scene with Monaco he was full of smiles and new kid optimism, but now 'money' mbappe is cynical, often lazy and no team player...France like England look like they are not making the most of their talents, the gameplan is really basic, but man for man they are more individually talented than England, better at bailing themselves out when facing a team with a clue

 

Yeah, maybe its harsh but definitely a touch of roy of the rovers, you wonder if he (and others) might be even more effective if he wasn't trying to be involved in everything and straying into others' areas...maybe not and i'm typing bollocks

 

He's been reading his own.press clippings. A few injuries and a few setbacks and he's the next Marcus Rashford. We've all seen this movie before.

 

Boppys nose broken is front page news ....no analysis of how he got it broken ,of course.

 

Nah, a different character, much more ambitious, and a much higher level of footballer. Given the number of games he has played relative to age, he will be lucky if he avoids injuries over the next few years.

 

I've enjoyed this Turkey-Georgiz game. Both going for it. 1st half especially was very entertaining.

 

What a goal

 

Yep, but I can't stand these Turkish fans.

 

It's been a hallmark of the tournament. Gives no pleasure to say it but Scotland the only side to not really give it a go but I expect them to put that right Vs the Swiss. It was more deer in headlights than footballing conservatism per se.

 

Cruel fucking business this

 

I want Roberto Martinez's agent, either that or he's a all time great interviewee

 

Deluded Roberto

 

Yeah. I think we should see a different Scotland tonight. They'll aim to get at Switzerland from the off. I'm rooting for them but they have got their work cut out.

 

That Turkey-Georgia game was fantastic. Credit to both sides.

 

Before Friday i would've probably rated Scotland slight favourites but not now!

 

Albania 1-0 up. Acquitting themselves well in the group of death.

 

The Albanian mafia are no doubt threatening these teams behind the scenes.

But in all seriousness, yeah they are proving to be dark horses.

 

And then obliging by shooting themselves in the foot.

 

Andros Townsend carries a donor card that says "Give the keeper my eyes".

 

Those poor Albanians with their flags and flares being forced to watch goals fly in right in front of them

 

Great finish to the match. Draw was a fair result.

 

Albania are quite handy. Going to order a takeaway soon for 5pm game.

 

Hungary have gone close on a few occasions.

 

Germany 2-0. Precision passing and ability to find space. Football made to look how it should. Easy.

 

Ze Germans lookin like the favorites at the moment.
