Other Sports: Soccer/Football Thread Part Six

No chance Slovakia wins this now. They're spent.

England had 0.00 xGoT (Goals on Target) through 94 Minutes. Not a typo. 0.00.

Jojo in the soccer thread? What is this?

Two shots on target, two goals. lol

England score goals when they are forced to abandon Southgates 'system' and magically, creative players do creative things.

Odd.

 

[ellja3]

F1 and now this. My nerves.

 

[TCTC]

Can't see England beat Switzerland. The Swiss are much better than Slovakia and they won't do England the favor and sit back.

Pickford snorted quite a lot of stuff earlier today eh?

He's just a wacko.

Should England fire Southgate as he leaves the stadium?

Incredibly fortunate to advance.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Meh I was hoping to see which obscure NT made the final from that side of the bracket.

 

[Jack Straw]

Southgate has to start Palmer now.

 

[TCTC]

Southgate has to start Palmer now.

I thought he was terrible, tbh. Didn't create anything.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

GEORGIA!

Kvaratskhelia! (or own goal)

Edit: clearly own goal.

 

[FLYguy3911]

No way they hold onto this.

 

[Starat327]

Southgate has to start Palmer now.

He won't. Shaw will be healthy enough for next game and Pretend starboy will reclaim his spot.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

This game is eerily similar to Celtic's win over Barca in the Champions League in 2012.

Celtic was absolutely caved in that match, but scored off a first half corner and then on a second half counter attack to take a 2-0 lead before Messi pulled one back in second half injury time.

Obviously a lot of time left for this to play out differently, but it's brought back a positive memory, if anything.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Not even five minutes after my post.

Damn.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

That would have been a wonder goal from Kvaratskhelia. Damn.

 

[kudymen]

Lol

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Result was inevitable, but Georgia provided some entertaining pushback.

 

[kudymen]

Georgia brought me quite a few more lovely and fun moments than the CZ squad this year

 

[Jack Straw]

I thought he was terrible, tbh. Didn't create anything.

Well, who did? I thought he was better than Foden. And Saka for that matter.

 

[Curufinwe]

Foden was terrible. Running ahead of the ball like that is unforgivable.

 

[TCTC]

Well, who did? I thought he was better than Foden. And Saka for that matter.

True. At this point if you're an English player it's best for your reputation if you don't get to play under Southgate.
Ben White was ahead of the curve.

 

[PDX Flyer]

That would have been a wonder goal from Kvaratskhelia. Damn.

What a player. From the first time I caught a Napoli game, love at first sight
