December 4, 20223 yr Nice to see Giroud playing so well. One of our signing gems from Arsenal, like Ashley Cole.
December 4, 20223 yr Lovely to see Olivier Giroud take the French scoring record from Thierry Henry (in fewer games as well), albeit he is probably only a placeholder for Kylian Mbappé LOL. Shame we didn't keep Giroud and save ourselves £100M on Lukaku ... he'd still cut it in the PL I reckon.
December 4, 20223 yr 18 hours ago, Sconnie Blue said: I agree. But my gripe is the one man team narrative. The one man team narrative discredits that Argentina team as a whole when in all reality it was a very good side. Ruggeri is one of the greatest CB’s that ever played the game, and Valdano + Burruchaga are part of South American folklore. If you watch them from 86’-91 you can see how effective they were tactically. Have a stable backline, suffocate the midfield with runners, and hit on the break. That Burrachaga goal when my beloved West Germany came back from2-0 broke my heart for many years
December 4, 20223 yr Pardon my ignorance, but I just noticed that both keepers are wearing much thinner gloves than I recall keepers like Cech wore. Is this a relatively new thing, or something that has happened for a few seasons now?

Serie A is perfect for him at this stage, even Pedro still looks good over there.

December 4, 20223 yr Mbappe with 8 World Cup goals now. 4 years ago it was a walk in the park for France, but England might just stun them as they haven't really played a bigger team yet.
December 4, 20223 yr Haven't seen anything from France to worry England TBH. Mbappe this, Mbappe that. Yadda, Yadda. Time for Southgate to release the beast of Dire. Let's see Mbappe try and out pace our Eric. Who do we play in the semis?

December 4, 20223 yr The big question is will I get more than 20 minutes in before getting bored and turning it off?

December 4, 20223 yr Maguire burning his pace there to get England out of trouble - thank goodness he’s that light footed!

December 4, 20223 yr The ball is flatter than British salary growth The ball is flatter than an English arse The ball is expelling more hot air than the anti-Mendy narrative

December 4, 20223 yr I'm quite enjoying how much fun the ref seems to be having. Big smile on his face throughout so far.
