Team is disjointed, unbalanced, lacking intensity and quality. Its like the old days. I agree, I saw the lineup and decided not to watch. Delph, Dier, Linguard and Ali in midfield. Sancho would’ve been ideal to start. Could’ve given maddison these two games to stake a claim. Kane isn’t fit. It’s a joke, all the hard work from the World Cup is being wasted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Maddison should be a key player for the U21s in the euros, right decision not to pick him, madness if he's left out in September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I am sure people in Netherlands and Portugal watched it If England had won it would have been greatest tournament ever 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Yeah I watched it in Germany where like everything else it was on terrestrial tv (so was the F1) If I was in England and it was on sky then I probably wouldn't have watched any of if (even if it was england) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I didn’t watch it, didn’t even check the score until now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I watched it I wasn't really arsed we lost to the Dutch but then seeing Portugal lift the trophy was a bit of a kick in the teeth to be honest. Would have been nice to actually win something. Such a missed opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger media nonsense than those who think England are going to win. Nobody gives a **** if Ireland are there or not. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Viewing figures for Germany have made the news, more people watched a 2 year old repeat of the Sunday night murder film (tatort) than watched the football think the tier 1 level and the big final is pretty irrelevant but the impact of the lower tiers and their ability to qualify should in theory make it really popular with smaller nations meaning it will be here to stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often have been in bars for big Champions League games and not that much interest. I had to ask to turn the game on for United vs Barcelona If domestic game or national team they are into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 In a move that will shock nobody, the Nations League has beem restructured to 3 divisions instead of 4. This means Germany avoids relegation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means Germany avoids relegation And Ireland. But to be honest I think it's a good thing. The nations league has been a success and the less pointless friendlies the better. It's now groups of 4 so 6 games instead of 4. Edited September 25, 2019 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Seems this is being used for the World cup qualifiers for Qatar. Although having quickly read the format they seem to have made it even harder to work out than the ones just gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
