Said it a few days ago - They are heading for the total eradication of tackling.How are you meant to tackle if that is a red. Just ridiculous.
they’d be favourites with anyone outside of England
He’s starting, no Eden Hazard thoughIf De Bruyne is fit I agree. Him missing levels things up for me.
Pfffttt! Thought you were from the school of magic sponge and cortisone, H?Re; tackling - he was not n control and those tackles where you follow through on the opponent at ankle/shin height are career threatening. Agree that some of the decisions re: tackles are poor, but that was dangerous.
"Slide tackles that are made as two-footed lunges at an opponent are generally considered to endanger the safety of an opponent and are hence sanctioned as serious foul play, resulting in a sending-off."
It's a 2 footed lunge, Rightly or wrongly the laws of the game say that's a red card and have done for years now.
Looks like the Germans could be out for revenge!

Only seen the last 20 mins but Switzerland seem far more up for it and inventive.

Mmmm. Not sure about that abbreviationI want penos! Love watching a shoot out as long as its not a team I follow
There are a few things I’d like to say, Gareth, and I’ll start with this. Off the chest and from the heart: Fucking yes, well done, get in!
I’m smiling as I write this and when it comes to football, when it comes to England’s loaded history against Germany, when it comes to this diminished version of life we’ve been living, smiling feels pretty good. Thank you for helping us to smile again.
Fancy doing it again?
And I’d like to talk to you, Gareth, about the present and the past and the distance we all travel. I heard what you said on Tuesday night, pitchside at Wembley, when England had won, and you were asked about redemption. You speak so well. You always have. Your team were forging new memories, as you put it, but like it often does, your penalty and 1996 had come back to you and some memories are fixed and final. It struck me like a slap.
Gareth, I have never once looked at you and blamed you. I have never thought of you as the man who cost me or who cost our England team a trophy and a winners’ medal at the European Championship 25 years ago. I have never considered you a failure for taking a penalty against Germany and missing. There is not a spark in my brain or an atom in my body that thinks in those terms, and I hate that you might suspect otherwise.
Rain forecast for the weekend.Sommer is superb
