Is that the silly little table that pops up on the left hand side? Something about receiving the ball from defence? What has gone wrong with the beautiful game?

Don't care if they're black, have a vagina, are wearing a turban, or all three, I just want some competent analysis.

adrian lord Posted 4 December, 2022 Share Posted 4 December, 2022 (edited) I don't mind interesting stuff like spin rate because at least that speaks to the physics and aerodynamics determining the flight and curvature of the ball's path and hence the skill of the players. The wholesale appropriation of NFL jargon and terminology into football under the fig leaf of the ever-mushrooming stats generated in the game....well that I really do object to. Anyway, tonight, let's hope the England Lions’ offense is on point at the turnover and thus scores.

Wade Garrett Posted 4 December, 2022 Share Posted 4 December, 2022 Don’t get me started on all this stat speak. Absolute load of fucking bollocks. Martin Keown is a complete fucknut as well. As for the ‘quota’ comment regarding the tv panels, couldn’t agree more. I’m totally fed up with having to listen to clueless women offering an opinion on the game. They talk complete shite, I would get more insightful analysis from my dog. Modern life is absolutely fucking shit. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd play Saka over Rashford personally. Rashford was crap first half against Wales, and in reality only had a cracking 25 mins in the 2nd half. I'd play Foden on the left though, and would be disappointed if Sterling played ahead of him. I wouldn't play Foden in the midfield 3, and get the case for Mount or even Henderson ahead of him.
