Was going to say that, he's terrible on The One Show whenever I've seen him. Reckon the BBC are grooming him to replace Lineker in a few years.

 

No Bellingham means he's gotta be in the full squad for the Euros? He needs to start every game, even at 17 he looks like he knows how to play every central midfield role already

Edit: Ok maybe not every game lol, but is definitely good enough to start against Scotland or Czech Republic

 

Yup, Reece James too.

 

My Messi Clasico jersey comes tomorrow

How Musah chose to represent the USMNT

I know I need to temper expectations but it’s nice to be excited about the US team for once

 

Messi and Griezi have both scored near identical 25 yard, top corner goals tonight.

I think being out of the champions league will be a good driver to compete in the other two competitions, while also allowing for a smidge more rest whereas the grind is clearly starting to take over some teams.

 

Terrible commentary from Sky tonight. Lots of stuttering and lots of speechless moments during action when trying to describe what's happening.

 

Why is there 11 minutes extra time? Was there an injury?

 

Rui Patricio knocked unconscious on the field after being accidentally kneed in the head. Took ages to get him on the stretcher and the game was paused. Looked an ugly one, won't lie.

 

This is mad...

Oh yuck. Wolves are having bad luck with head injuries this season. Hope he’s ok.

 

Thanks I hate it

 

Seems less than ideal prep

 

New manager bounce

 

winning 2 this year :)

 

Zlatan has come out of international retirement.

 

Someone created this and shared on Reddit, only sharing here because Ipswich are on it.

All of the clubs to win a European trophy. https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/m5qvts/all_clubs_with_a_win_in_an_european_cup_c1_c2_or/

 

The amount of clubs on there that have no real chance any more is sad

 

It's odd how so many of them are clustered along a diagonal line through central Europe. I didn't realise the French have been so ineffectual in European competition. I think their national team has more international honours than all their domestic sides combined.

 

The Blue Banana

Blue Banana

 

Huh. Never heard of that before!

 

Foden is so good, can't wait to see him wasted by Southgate in the summer. Off the bench for a couple of minutes in a dead rubber game.

 

Couldn’t believe he didn’t start against us. He was tearing us apart when he came on.

 

Rumours about Luke Ayling being called up to the England squad.

 

Apparently we’re no longer looking to buy a CB because Bailly is fit again lmao. That is peak us, don’t buy a new CB because our old terminally injured one has gotten fit for a couple of months. Oh yeah let’s give him a new contract too!
