The Maupay joke is pretty funny, not gonna lie.

I'm missing some context with that one.

 

[HeHateMeFrisbee]

I'm missing some context with that one.

He and Maddison got into it during the season over the darts celebration. Maupay is flexing on Maddison for not making the squad, which, is pretty distasteful really.

Maddison thinks he owns the dart celebration. Maupay did it after scoring on Spurs. Maddison got his feelings hurt. Maddison got cut from the England team and posted a sad boy tweet. Maupay posted a picture of himself with darts. Spurs fans now have their knickers in a knot.

it is a little lame for maupay to be chatting shit about maddison getting cut from the england squad given that you'd have to have a Simpsons softball episode-esque cascading of misfortunes for maupay to even come within a stones throw of being contemplated for a squad for the euros. distasteful it most definitely is not, but i do find it pretty stupid

at least when jamie vardy shithouses he has quality to back it up with

So what your'e saying is that MAUPAY IS A CHEAT AND A DISGRACE!

I mean on the other hand Maupay’s feelings are getting hurt by missing the French squad because he knows he isn’t getting near it. Got to hurt a lot worse to know you were one of the last cuts. Maupay also clearly legit does not like Maddison so he is going to throw some daggers (or some darts); he knows what his role is

 

[KJS14]

Tasteful or not, it was funny. Gotta give him credit for that at least.

Last cut for England is Jarrad Branthwaite. It boggles the f***ing mind.

Southgate logic... Branthwaite had an incredible season and has a rapport with the starting GK. Seems that would be the ideal profile for a bench player. But we're talking about the guy who has made countless stupid decisions.

He did the same thing by alienating Ben White, who could provide cover at multiple positions and has chemistry with Saka.

 

[HeHateMeFrisbee]

Dunk over Branthwaite is an all time GS f*** up

 

[luiginb]

I didn't recognize Maupay for a second there, as I've only ever see him rolling on the pitch

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I expected Maddison to get cut. There's a lot of competition for his position, and he didn't look the same since coming back from injury.

Kind of sad how Spurs have gone from very represented in the national team, to nobody.

There's very little creativity in this England squad without Maddison, especially if Trent doesn't start either. Might hurt them against teams playing a low block.

 

[bluesfan94]

Lol England

Lol England

Lol Germany, lol Romania etc

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

both england and germany losing with basically first choice XIs in their last warmup games? words cannot articulate just how much you love to see it

To be fair to England, they're not starting their best player

so true, none of foden or saka or palmer or kane have any track record of being very good at penetrating teams playing in a low block

famously, all four of them play for teams that absorb sustained pressure and score on the counter, they have no idea how to deal with a defense that's dug its feet in

oh you

Kai, continuing to do Kai things

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Kai, continuing to do Kai things

only score against bad opposition, outside of one night in porto?

and yes, i include chelsea in the list of bad opposition

I'd argue with you because he put one past Spurs, but then again.

He did score against France, that's the better argument for me.

says he while the creative wizards he mentioned could only score against Bosnia's subs. And yeah, Kane is creative, but when your most creative player is your number 9, you;re in trouble.

Also lose the tone, your not intelligent enough to try and be sarcastic

i just don't know how anyone could claim that there's insufficient creativity in england's attacking midfield

and god, pointing out grammatical errors is such low hanging fruit, but using the wrong "your" while calling me dumb is insanely f***ing funny
