GunmaN1905 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 England just keeps droping deeper and deeper for no reason. Game was there for the taking, Italy was proper rattled.

VP. Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 2 minutes ago, outlander said: Come one, man. You just said that you hope that a player is being knocked again on the existing injury, so that he would be out of one of the biggest games of his career. Obivously, it's a totally different scale to wishing death but it's exactly the same direction of moral values. No it isn't, I speak as someone who played the game for 20 odd years and knows that you should take every advantage possible to win. And if you think Southgate and the players wouldn't be happy to see him go off then you don't understand football I'm afraid. Why haven't you answered me from earlier (if it wasn't you I quoted I apologise) saying why is it OK to be happy if an oppositions best players are injured before a match but not during it? As there is absolutely no difference, the player still misses the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Albrighton Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Italy got back into it as it went on, Could do with Sterling on the left and a Sancho/Rashford on the right for me.

Sned Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Last 25 mins of that half were fascinating. Italy below their best - but watching them keep possession about midway into England's half, prodding for an opening against a really organised and well-drilled defence, has been a really interesting watch for a neutral. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
