Yes but they will be 1mm infront of the defender, ie daylight, unfair advantage. Not now where we punish for being practically fully inline with defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poor Thai goalkeeper looked like a 10 year old schoolgirl in that goal. She made a couple of good saves, genuinely I think she's a decent shot-stopper which is why she's in the goal. But, Christ, the defence fell apart time and time again. Credit to the USA for never even thinking about letting up though. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Bleep1673 Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Another bright idea from UEFA, hold the UEFA Super Cup between Liverpool and Chelsea in TURKEY! The season's curtain raiser will take place with the Community Shield between Liverpool and Manchester City at Wembley on Sunday, 4 August. Liverpool and Europa League winners Chelsea will also meet in the Uefa Super Cup in Istanbul, Turkey, on Wednesday, 14 August. Following that match, Liverpool play their second Premier League match, away to Southampton, while Chelsea host Leicester City. Wolves could have played three Europa League qualifying matches before the beginning of the Premier League season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the Guardian makes any attempt whatsoever to hide its agenda and never has. You’ll no doubt be shocked to discover the Telegraph supports the Tories...

I do like the sports section in the Guardian and also the crime book reviews. I used to read a columnist called Nick Cohen. In hindsight he seemd to predict the Labour antisemitism issue years before it was raised by others. I like the I newspaper because they have small comments from each football team's fanzone columnist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedford Roughyed Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game.

ivans82 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Don`t you just love the close season. Hazard saying it was a wrench to leave Chelsea and having loved every minute of his time there , despite him and his agent twining for the last 2 years to get away , and him downing tools and getting Mouriniho the sack .And Pogba saying maybe a change would do him good , despite saying Solksjaer was a breath of fresh air when Utd were on their run of wins .
