So, 5 posts before this one, you said "you'll play the higher% play".

England did that, scored 3 goals, Senegal kept shooting, which as you call it is the lower% play. You can't BS like this and then be shocked when people call you out for chatting utter bollocks lol

xG for England was better, quality of chances was better, they had 60%+ possession, they shut up shop as they're playing in an actual game today and needed their better players for it and saved their strength and not risk something. Why would they go for 6? It's not a game against some nomarks lol View attachment 195708

I'm not even rooting in ANY WAY for England, against them if anything. You're just being obtuse here.

I don't know what you're arguing with me about. I think England did everything right.

I just don't think you can say they "should have scored 6 goals." You're right, they were better, they scored, they had no reason to go for more goals. That's all true. But as a result they should not have scored 6 times. Please read this as me agreeing with you.

Wow. Set-up for England if they win tonight

Let's get through first.

Of course they could, however with the captain's armband comes with responsibilities. Personally, I'd say staying with the team and supporting them is key.

Instead, he's walked right off the pitch and left them to face it. It's about him - not about Portugal. If an Everton captain did that, I'd want them booted right out.

Everybody is different.

Big Dunc used to get off all the time at the end of a game. First down the tunnel.

It needs to not be about Ronaldo.

Another "big" team bites the dust making it an easier path for England to win the whole damn thing

Think Mbappe will have something to say about it

It wouldn't surprise me

Worried about their injuries adding up. They’re putting so much into all of these games. I hope they keep it going though. Also Ziyech is pure class. Tuchel wasted him

Ronaldo whined his way out of Man United and out of Portugal in a matter of weeks. What a shame.

This is one of the biggest shock runs to a semi final of a major sporting event ever if they hold on

Unbelievable effort with no one even close to a superstar in their team

can defend, got a good keeper, has the size and pace to be annoying as hell on the counter

Tough to see Ronaldo hurting. Gotta feel for the guy.

Nah, just messing. Hilarious.

I’m in Cambridge visiting family and in a pub with Kuwaiti, aPalestinian and a Saudi all sat together, with a coffee each going mad. “We all support England tonight” they said
The global game

Inabit Ronaldo you horrid little rapist.

If there is a way to tactically set up your team to make the other team score own goals then it is the next evolution in the game.
