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

I know the feeling.

 

England wins

 

Five excellent penalties. Geddin!!!

MTF

 

YES!!!

 

Your bank accounts have been seized.

 

Five very cool headed penalties from England.

 

Good penalties. Maybe there's method in Southgate playing for draws

 

Lot of political hypemen in that studio.

 

Indeed. I also think Pickford did a better job than Sommer who was never close.

 

Itd be f'n terrible if Southgate won this. No offence, sassenatches

 

Southgate masterclass again. Go a goal down, make subs, immediately equalise, bring on your best penalty takers, despatch them with ease. Genius.

 

'Winning mentality blahblahblah' 'big moments blahblah'.

Absolutely scraping through by sheer luck vs 4 countries a tenth yoir size

 

Bellingham putting his hands to his ears towards the English fans. Fuck off you twat.

 

And we all know what the narrative would have been if Switzerland won the shootout. Bad luck in the "lottery".

It's not a lottery and this is just one example. England took better penalties and Pickford made himself more of a presence. They were not in any means impressive but they deserve to go through.

 

Old age is making you bitter, lad.

MTF

 

Fixed.

 

He really is a tit.

MTF

 

There is clearly a skill behind taking a penalty. Agreed that it's not a lottery.

If a keeper saves your pen, you give the keeper credit. The penalty taker's penalty wasn't good enough.

 

Aye, hate all that 'lottery' shite. Scoring a penalty is a skill. So it's saving them. Failing to do either is through a lack of skill and, in a shootout, a lack of bottle, too.

MTF

 

It's literally kicking a ball into a net or trying to prevent it. They don't settle it via some subjective matter let alone one that doesn't have to do with football.

 

Micah Richards asking Frank Lampard managerial advice. That's like asking me about quantum physics.

 

He's in the studio for the US coverage.

 

You haven't read any of my books on quantum physics?

 

Really?

Did they show the clip from the last Euro final?

 

No. I'll send you my address instead so you can order me fish and chips ;)

 

PM me the address. I will cook up a batch and send in the post.

It's coming stumbling home over the front garden fence with vomit all over our shirt

 

Honestly, and I mean this, I genuinely was not that concerned about the shootout. Palmer, Toney and Saka (despite the miss in the last final) are all proven specialists in the shootout, and Pickford has made more saves in shootouts than any England keeper ever. He just seems to thrive in that situation.
