World Cup Qualifiers + Friendlies | November 2017

[Devil81]

This is actually refreshing to watch, England giving a few young recruits a go.

I'm actually enjoying watching my country for this first time in at least a decade.

 

[Massive Spanner]

Good game this. England's senior players could learn a few things about making an effort from this young crowd.

 

[GhastlyHun]

Extremely watchable first half, even more so considering it's a friendly.

 

[whatwha]

Just noticed Darmian has started for Italy..

What on earth are these managers seeing in him?

I really don't rate him.

He has done well.

 

[SCP]

nah he is massively overrated and a liability to be honest

Not apreciated in Italy, doesn't mean he is a bad player for PSG...

 

[haram]

Loftus Cheek is quality

 

[Bepi]

Jorginho should be starting for Italy. He's a master a controlling the tempo.

zero caps until now so can't rely upon him imho but verratti missing the second leg so who knows

 

[Liver_bird]

Jorginho should be starting for Italy. He's a master a controlling the tempo.

Agreed, fabulous player.

 

[Bepi]

Not apreciated in Italy, doesn't mean he is a bad player for PSG...

he is a social media darling because of his small range tricks but largely ineffective imho

 

[Andycoleno9]

I want this darmian who plays for italy . Who is that guy?

 

[Mcking]

Agreed, fabulous player.

Criminal to have that rare kind of player and not even play him.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

RLC showing his quality, great technique for a 6ft 4 player. Abraham is trying a bit to hard. Team not looking too bad overall. McGuire showing why he is favoured over Smalling too.

Germany had a few good chances. Werner look a handful, busy and off the shoulder, Sane looking their best player.

 

[Wilt]

Apparently Bale is on his 18th injury since signing for Real Madrid.

hope he never comes to Utd

 

[giorno]

he is a social media darling because of his small range tricks but largely ineffective imho

He's ineffective because the manager is clueless

Current problem of modern football, if only Baresi, Maldini or Baggio played in this era, poor Verratti

 

[Santoryo]

It's only England

 

[Mcking]

I want this darmian who plays for italy . Who is that guy?

Which side is he playing?

 

[montpelier]

Germany CBs definitely not happy vs. Vardy & Abraham.

Happy enough everywhere else though, I think.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Which side is he playing?

Left. Good in defence and also good in attack.

 

[Bepi]

He's ineffective because the manager is clueless

you both must be right but still no difference made at any time by this kid for the national team

Nothing strange, a lot of good players perform better at club level than NT level, but even at PSG he has been criticized for his lifestyle outside football.

 

[Vato]

Lukaku scores with his first touch

 

[JustFootballFan]

Did you see that rat Chiellini pull a Busquets.

Guess not everything Pep invented is bad.

 

[whatwha]

Chiellini, what a pussy.

 

[giorno]

Because we don't play to his strenghts. At all. Ventura is basically asking him to play like an Allan FFS

Look at his initial positioning in our build up(parolo too for that). Pretty much everything good we've done in the first half went through him

 

[GifLord]

Sweden score

 

[Cheech Wizard]

Goal Sweden!

 

[The Stain]

Italy are a bunch of fannies. Throwing themselves to the ground holding their faces like they've been shot at every opportunity.

 

[Ralaks]

Italians are such a bunch of pussies. World Cup would be a better tournament with sweden there over them. Playing much better football too.

 

[giorno]

Ventura is truly a genius

 

[SCP]

This is what Italy wants...

 

[JustFootballFan]

That´s swede justice.

 

[maba723]

Lukaku terrible first touch

 

[RoyH1]

Italy needs to cool down if they don't want to bring a very onerous result back to Italy. Sweden is playing very well.

 

[Mcking]

Seems Rob Martinez has a fetish for high scoring games.

 

[whatwha]

Yess! Söta bror! Sweden scores with a lucky deflection.

Serves those Italian cnuts right, surrounding the ref etc.

 

[SCP]

Christ and now Sweden scores...

 

[Antisocial]

Glad the Swedes scored, the Italians have been behaving like little twats these few minutes I’ve been watching the game.

 

[Bepi]

footballing IQ is just too low to save their own skin

 

[el3mel]

Lukaku terrible first touch

Crap goal, if there's something called this.
