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

Not sure why the Swiss coach doesn't start Shaqiri.

 

England playing a flat back 5 out of possession. Negative creep

 

With all the depth of football in english football they line up in a quarter final playing a right back at left wing. You couldn't make it up, its beyond astonishing

 

I'd one up that and put Kane in goal.

 

I know Dave who works down the market who sells second hand Rolex's at a huge discount. They look just like the real thing, the only thing is they spell Rolex with a W. I guess if you can't pronounce your R's it won't matter. Right?

 

Saka causing the Swiss defense problems

 

Of all.the things people spend shit loads of money on watches always bemuse me the most

 

My aunt lived in London for a short stint back in the late 80's and bought me one similar although it had the correct spelling. (she knew it was fake, just thought it would be a funny gift)

 

Yeah, he's a had few nice touches.

 

England are fucking shite

 

Me too, but then if you realize how much shit tons of money some people have it's largely irrelevant to them.

Somebody spending millions of dollars on some oil painting doesn't bother me. What gets to me is some of those same people looking for the cheapest labor to trim their hedges.

 

If i was Southgate i would pull off my own little masterclass.

You know how players swap jerseys after a match. I would do that for watches with the Swiss coach.

 

How have we had a corner and ended up passing it all the way back to the goalkeeper???

 

Nice run from Mainoo. Shame he had no real options then. England need to start testing the Swiss keeper when in range.

 

Some people on relatively modest income will spend 5 grand on a watch tho it mad. Its like: 'like my belt? Nice innit? It can hold up my trousers 10 feet underwater. Yeah man, 2 months wages....pretty impressive, eh?'

 

When you have a poacher like Kane around it's always a good way to go. Don't even try to be accurate with a shot. Just put some pace and spin on ball and look for some kind of rebound.

 

Mainoo is the only guy in this team who has looked a proper player

 

Ask them what model it is or whatever. "Oh, the Beltmaster 5000? I have the Beltmaster 5000 platinum diamond edition"

 

Trippier in space on the touchline front of Bellingham. Bellingham delays the passes knowing trippier cant/wont take it wide anyway. Eventually plays it behind Trippiier to his right foot, trippier cuts inside, passes it backwards to Bellingham. Utter pish

 

Switzerland should hire Chiellini to take care of Saka.

 

It would be nice to see some cutting edge passes into dangerous areas in front of goal. Players running into those pockets centrally outside the box and looking to turn and get a shot off. Mostly every England attack has been the same. It's predictable.

 

No idea what all these pundits are so thrilled about. They've created fuck all & looked totally disjointed

 

Being totally one sided & having no width doesn't help.

 

England have to maintain aggression. It's tiring and difficult but it's the path to victory.

 

When England do show more urgency and willingness to get the ball forward and do something, they look capable. It just always seems to break down.

 

That's what it's like to play against this side. Germany was throwing a lot more at them and didn't get a goal until stoppage time.

 

England play like a scuurred fighter whos been brutally kod recently. And has a broken left hand

 

i guess i'm old school but i preferred when players didn't have 5 thousand tattoos.

 

Do you think it's because of that new rule that teams have to field a squad of at least 50% homosexuals?
