I’m too young to get the 1966 stuff, but I’m old enough to know that, Germany are a nightmare for us, they are a good tournament team….. tonight we beat Ze Germans, that makes tonight Eine Gute Nacht.
Last night was a feast of football, tonight was always going to be much less exciting…. But…. We won and we won comfortably- job well done boys. The Mainstream Media, (non shit bloggers), will be all over the story of the game – whilst I can tap into the niche market of…. The pain of watching Sunderland…..commenting on the National Team is more the domain of Bigger Media Fish? With this in mind, I’ll keep it brief….
The Occasion……
Just 45’000, but atmosphere sounded class, celebrations looked class, i couldn’t make it tonight, but reports suggest that SAFC were very well represented 🔴⚪️⚫️
Clean Sheets……
…… suspect clean sheets will be at a premium tonight for those who embraced today’s festivities? But, we have a fantastic keeper, he’s one of our own…..none of this this pseudo Spurs bollocks on the basis that Kane is from somewhere near London….. Pickford loves the Lads, he’s a fan, he’s one of us⚽️
Defending…..
4 games and 0 goals conceded! That’s good – Guy Mowbray said in commentary that Maguire has a massive head
Midfield….
Not sure Phillips is that good, Rice is decent, thankfully European Champion and Sunderland Finest, Jordan Henderson is returning…… ⚫️🔴⚪️
Attack…..
Ultimately if you don’t concede, you don’t need to score loads..yes Spain scored 5 last night, but they let Croatia score 3
Last 8…..
We’ve got a chance, a really good chance. Southgate is a smart cookie, we should probably play Grealish though, but that’s my only criticism…. Although having seen Grealish interviewed tonight, he is possibly the only footballer who I’d back Chris Coleman to beat at Connect 4?
Romancing the Stone……
Part of me thinks it may be in the script that Denmark will win it, it just seems a good story….. but I thought we’d beat Charlton as it was my first season without dad, I thought England would win the World Cup, (as my scotch dad dipped out)….. it’s just a load of bollocks…. 8 teams left, 4 who can probably win, so why not, why the fucking hell not?
