Short of rebuilding it so it's oriented differently I'm not sure what could be done. I can't see anyone blocking out the sun and then turning on floodlights during the day so some TV viewers are less inconvenienced but the people in the stadium are starved of natural light. I don't even find the shadow that annoying.
Day 3: England vs Croatia | Austria vs North Macedonia | Netherlands vs Ukraine
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Hell would sooner freeze over.
Am I the only one who can't hear the refs whistles.
Foden weak there.
Really like what I'm seeing with Phillips
Same!
Well that's kinda what I was thinking
Kane still thinking this is Spurs.
Philips started really well
Brozović needs to wake up.
Trippier having to come onto his right foot really is a bit silly to witness isn't it.
He hasn't really affected the game in anyway so far to give his team something to work with, but yeah, he's style of play is definitely quality.
Croatia playing out from the back has been horrendous so far. England pressing well.
Trippier hasn't had much to do, he'll be tested when a side can actually put 5 passes together. Phillips looks good though, agreed.
20 minutes so far only England on the pitch. Only thing missing is the goal. Playing really well.
Does Sterling not have a left foot?
Maybe a bit knee jerk, but can we buy Phillips instead of Rice?
Sterling
How good is Mason Mount!
mount is great
Mount best player so far
Mount and Foden starting off I'm brilliant from here. Phillips too.
Sterling is lacking the final ball
The BBC are quite loyal. That means with have to listen to Jermaine Jenas’s shite for years and years and years to come.
Well played by Mount, if only we had a decent left footed LB who could have played the ball into the box.
I feel dirty for having the same thought as Jenas, not often he comes out with stuff that's sensible.

Can’t shoot with your left if the gun is on the right leg.
We look out of form, scared and shit.
And Brozović plays drunk. Or he put his house on an English win.
Take out Kramarić and put Petković on. We need a Target man.

Why aren’t Shaw or Chilwel playing at LB?
Trippier screaming, uno dos, uno dos, UNO DOS!! FFS, I mean give the 1 2 dammit!
who? Only one Mason!!
Yeah, a definite upgrade on Henderson.
Next game Trippier has to be at right back, Shaw or Chilwell at left back. Trippier has done okay so far because he's a quality player but play him where he's best.
Quiet domination from Rice so far.
Those three have been my top 3, so far. Phillips looks very handy. Quite like the look of him!
Everything, and I mean everything, breaking down in attack as soon as it reaches Sterling.
Sterling just isn't THAT good.
I hate to say it but Mount is.

Starved of natural light
As if there aren't incredible roofed stadiums all over the world.
You wouldn't even need to build a roof or anything else too complex. Just a shade that could be moved in relation to where the sun is. The issue is with the massive contrast between the two areas - shading the brightest area could still let daylight in, but allow the cameras to better focus on the entire pitch.
I rate Trippier a lot more then the nation seems too... But you can see we are lacking the ability to create width on the left without a left footer on that side.
Foden, Mount and Phillips incredible so far.
