QF | England vs Switzerland | Netherlands vs Turkey

[Vidyoyo]

15 more minutes of this

 

[Felixmarte de Hircania]

Why Foden plays so badly when he plays with England??

 

[buchansleftleg]

Sub Foden and we score...he's got the reverse midas touch for England.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Foden looking like a fraud for England again

 

[criticalanalysis]

ZzZzZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[kaku06]

Nothing screams to me about Foden as a generational talent. I don’t know why he’s that highly rated. Very good player. But exceptional player? No.

 

[Smacky The Frog]

sigh

 

[Shane88]

Bastards better not steal penalty drama from me.

 

[Redplane]

Swiss manager looks exactly how I'd expect a Swiss manager to look.

 

[AfonsoAlves]

we have 5 top pen takers on the field at least. Eze, Kane, Palmer, Bellingham and Saka are all 1st choice for their clubs.

Bellingham has taken precisely 1 penalty in the entire year.

 

[Kirk lazarus]

Alan cheerer earning his money .

 

[Lyng]

Yeah and that's why I am sure you'll win it. Even though your keeper is significantly worse than Switzerlands

 

[RopersReturn]

God will someone shut Shearer up please.

 

[justsomebloke]

Well, wasn't that a fun 10 minutes after Switzerland scored? Imagine getting 20 of that.

 

[The Firestarter]

GSTK

 

[waza7111]

He could make some subs and try and win it or be a coward and wait for penalties which they'll probably lose anyway.

 

[InfiniteBoredom]

I hope England loses on pens. Would be a good punishment for this cautious risk-averse shit football.

No they will get to the final and play out a scoreless 120 minutes to rob us of our sanity.

 

[Paul the Wolf]

Swiss manager looks exactly how I'd expect a Swiss manager to look.

Turkish?

 

[Bobski]

BBC trying to make this epic, but the top level of this tournament has been so shit their enthusiasm is cringy

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Nothing screams to me about Foden as a generational talent. I don’t know why he’s that highly rated. Very good player. But exceptional player? No.

As has been said, he is a systems player take him away from that system and all the cogs in that system and he looks an as you said good player but no better.

 

[Wing Attack Plan R]

Boring. England will bottle the penalties, why are they not going for it?

 

[Red Rash]

That sounds fun actually!

Except our side would have Kane and Foden

 

[Dirty Schwein]

England will win on pens. Bellingham, Palmer, Kane, Saka & Eze should not miss.

 

[Smacky The Frog]

Nothing screams to me about Foden as a generational talent. I don’t know why he’s that highly rated. Very good player. But exceptional player? No.

Yup, very good player, absolutely not a "generational talent".

 

[Sassy Colin]

Oh get up Kane

 

[Melbourne Red]

Swiss manager looks exactly how I'd expect a Swiss manager to look.

Turkic with fine cheekbones and a stupendous head of hair?

 

[amolbhatia50k]

I hate Foden. He's a scrote at club level and Sunday league level for England.

He just gets in everyone else’s way. England don’t need him in the middle as Bellingham is better and they don’t need him on the right as Saka is better. And he’s not a LW at all. So he just pops up everywhere doing nothing of relevance but stays on the pitch because he’s apparently now a big name.

 

[Scriblerus]

Example of what's wrong with this team.....
Eze makes a good individual run, is fouled, wins free kick inside Swiss half. Not one but two players dither over the ball looking for a forward pass then the choice is a ball sideways and back before it goes all the way to Pickford....three times.....and he lumps it from 50 yard behind the initial position. Caution leads to a worse, chancy option.

 

[reddev3]

Bellingham has taken precisely 1 penalty in the entire year.

He's still 1st choice for Real

Edit: actually it may be Vini.

 

[Ayoba]

Kane and Foden have been horrific

 

[Zen86]

Nothing screams to me about Foden as a generational talent. I don’t know why he’s that highly rated. Very good player. But exceptional player? No.

Talented player that doesn’t actually do anything. Goes missing in pretty much every moment that matters. He’s like a playmaker that doesn’t actually do any playmaking.

 

[mu4c_20le]

God will someone shut Shearer up please.

That was brilliant, thought it was Ray Hudson for a minute there

 

[NICanRed]

As has been said, he is a systems player take him away from that system and all the cogs in that system and he looks an as you said good player but no better.

I thought the same about Bernardo Silva yesterday.

 

[DixieDean]

England can't be crazy enough to play for pens.

 

[MDFC Manager]

He's still 1st choice for Real

They only got one penalty the whole year while he was playing?

 

[Redplane]

Turkish?

Quite a few people in Switzerland with darker complexions, especially in the part closer to Italy but no - more the styled hair, the glasses etc. Probably has his Swiss watch regulated every month too.

 

[kaku06]

Yup, very good player, absolutely not a "generational talent".

Correct.

Talented player that doesn’t actually do anything. Goes missing in pretty much every moment that matters. He’s like a playmaker that doesn’t actually do any playmaking.

And correct.

 

[Ayoba]

I don't understand how Foden can be so good for city but so shit for England. There's no middle ground

 

[Verminator]

Foden to score a worldy, on the basis of the past few pages.

 

[ThinkTank@Cafe]

I fell asleep twice. Am not kidding. What a spectacle.
