Clive Tyldesley is so far above any other UK commentator it's not even funny. A tragedy we don't hear him more often.
Watching the England game last night I wished it had him and McCoist on. Would have been infinitely more watchable.

Watching Portugal is watching United last season: no coherence, midfield wide open and impotent in front of goal.

Im not sure how anyone can say that wasnt a penalty, the defender kicked the attacker in the ankle without getting anywhere near the ball.
If I "kicked" you in the bum with equal force, I doubt you'd even feel it.

England would play Slovakia
Southgate. :lol:

This guy has unreal luck in tournaments.

Really wanted to see England and the Netherlands as that would've been an interesting game.

Also it's a bit wrong Hungary have to wait around three nights just to be knocked out.

Enjoyed him mentioning that Ronaldo free kick at the Emirates about 18 years ago.

We got a result in the rugby world cup against Georgia and now losing in football. Bizarro world.

I think most are annoyed that VAR decides to check that one while the most obvious and egregious shirt pull of the tournament so far was ignored.

There aren't a lot of things I'd want less from a referee than inconsistency.

Portugal were brilliant in the rwc. Loved their last minute winner V Fiji.

Same. I actually enjoy watching our rugby team than this Ronaldo/Jorge Mendes national team.

Imagine still being as much of a self centered bellend as Ronaldo at 39.

Slovakia will be far trickier for England than the Netherlands
Can't see it. England need to face a team who'll actually test them properly at the back and down the flanks. Slovakia's best players are at the back and in defensive midfield.

This is the thanks he gives to Martinez for being his puppet. That's why I said he should retired from the National team already. He thinks it's his team, not the country's team.
