Walshy lives in Bristol. Anyway, most people blamed it on the black players, but I think it was more because of their youth, if anything.
In that case you will have to live in the values alone, listening to the stereophonic and Tom Jones. After your thread jinxed us Wales is your new home 🙂

I don’t want to live in a rainy dyslexic country.

I mean, Southgate of all people should have known not to put young players as penalty takers.

Are you alluding to his Miss in 96... To me that is up there with Waddles and requires an FBI investigation to ensure he actually missed and it wasn't another shooter from the grassy knoll.

I am alluding to his miss in 96. Lineker should be manager. Nobody would question him.

Linekar will be following Leicester round Europe with his sons for the foreseeable future.

Italians missed 2 as well. It's just nerves.

Saka and sancho shouldn’t have been takers, that’s what let us down.

Yup, poor kid. I think that was Southgates plan all along no one will talk about him missing now, as people forgot waddle when he missed.

Putting a 19 year old on the spot was stupid.

Honestly they should have won it in normal time. They seem to have trouble scoring. The number of times Sterling was in the penalty area but no shot on target.

I felt that when they were playing Denmark (they got lucky with the penalty there), which is why I wasn't confident going into the final.

Sterling is almost always only good when he's coming on to the ball. Touch and shoot, sitter, diving header, toe poke etc. The worst thing he can do is be given time to stop and think.

He is good assessing space quickly too whilst running.

Sure, but once he gets to the box it's like he realises he doesn't know what to do next unless he has a clear shot.

Impossible to argue with that tbh 😂

Next to no end product, though Tbf, his dribbling was impressive.
