Moreso that I think it'll be open and competitive. England blew Iran away and played some nice stuff definitely but the game was over after 30 minutes and I lost interest.

You're weird.....no offence intended

Looks like after the England attendance a message has been sent out

@Paddingtonwolf here's to an entertaining match, bud.

Holy Christ do I hope I've remembered correctly who it is that's Welsh...

You have. You will win. Im feeling less than confident.

Fucks sake, has Clive been on the hyperbole pills again?

Shut the fuck up you dickhead.

 

[jd1981]

Fuck off with your population stats means fuck all when the grandparents rule is still allowed

Berhalter has picked Josh fucking Sargent up top so you know. Anything is possible.

It's all he ever does. I'd genuinely rather listen to a vuvuzela.

Best commentators in history just let it happen. Always refer back to Brian Moore in the last seconds of Liverpool 0-2 Arsenal in 89. Natural commentary that summed up the moment.

The best was Barry Davies for this very reason.

Clive thinks we've tuned in to listen to him and doesn't ever shut the hell up as a result.

Clive - we didn’t give Hollywood Richard Burton, he married Liz Taylor.

Brian Moore
Yep no coincidence that Villa have a banner dedicated to his commentary back in 82.
England v Germany in 96 when we missed the penalty a simple “oh no” by Davies summed it up

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Peter Jones on the radio was better than either.

We aren’t in this game at all so far.

Yep he’s a twat you don’t realise it properly until he commentates on a Liverpool game v your side.

What's the alternative like, I've not seen Ferreira play. Where's Pepi?

 

[Kenny]

Got to salute Wayne for getting in the way of the header from his own player


(Not *that* salute Wayne)

 

[Langers]

Yep he’s a twat you don’t realise it properly until he opens his mouth

Fixed

Grew up in the late 80’s early 90’s and was spoilt by the quality of commentary across all sports.
Cricket: Richie Benaud, Jack Bannister, and Johnners.
Rugby: Bill McLaren
Football: Davies and Moore
Snooker: can’t remember the old guy but was amazing basically taught me how to play the game and the rules.
