Spurs got 5 penalties last season Palace got 4. Quite a massive difference there. That lisping ***** Kane obviously needs to work on his diving, I’m sure he will get plenty practice in the next few weeks. That enough negativity and vitriol for you 🤔👋🏿?

They’ve not been this good looking a side for many years mate. But Let’s see their central defence under pressure from a decent attacking side though. They’ve specifically avoided playing real good sides for 3 years whilst they rebuilt.

Francis Albert Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) I think I have already identified what will for me be one of the most annoying things about the Euros. In a full stadium the cameras for the most part show the crowds reactions at big moments like goals. Now they focus as I suppose they have to on individuals and the most exhibitionist weirdos that they can find .

Cade Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 Well unless England end 3rd in our group, they can't meet the Italians until at least the Semis.

Homme Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I'm not sure why ther how you can say they have specifically avoided playing top teams unless they have influence on who they are drawn against. 29 unbeaten now.

To me that’s a team that can win it with a lot of luck and absolutely everything going right for them but you wouldn’t necessarily want them in the sweep.

Meanwhile England have won one and got to the semis on one other occasion. There is a negative perception of them due to the press in this country always bringing up the old cliche of defensive Italy, when the truth is solid defence and good organisation with some great forwards over the years.
