I don't mind Richards, but Rio is so thick I expect he needs assistance to find his way into the recording studio every night. Rio "I've written down some words" Ferdinand The. Cat. Sat. On. A.

"Oh my word he's going to deliver some absolute knowledge and insight here." "Passive. Slow. Lethargic." Cheers Rio. I just **** watched that shit. I ain't got 80 caps for England but even a nobody like me worked out it was garbage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I hated Lawro but now with Murphy and Dixon we have two clones, one for either channel. Does my head in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Spain were awful. So have we but we have double the points on the board. They could possibly not even get to the next round even in a rubbish group and with probably 3 teams going through out of 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 For whatever reason the Swedish squad found it a good idea to break the quarantine bubble and bring in 3 hairdressers to style the players ahead of the Slovakia game. Strange decision especially since they already had Covid among the players in the squad. Won the game thou and I'm sure they all looked suitably dapper but can't wrap my head around their thinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Albin Ekdal walk off Sweden training early today as he's nursing an injury Can't wait for him to retire from international football. I mean I've nothing really against him, he's a solid alibi player who's OK-ish at most things but not good at anything. But he's always injured, always. And it's well past time we gave his starting spot to one of the younger guys like Svanberg or Cajuste. Ekdal needs to retire along with Lustig, Granqvist, Berg, Larsson (who actually still pulls his weight) and Gustav Svensson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch him quite a lot for Sampdoria and he's almost always touch and go if he's going to be able to play the game. Credit to him that actually plays when he's not 100% unlike someone like Sturridge. There is talk about him moving back to Allsvenskan and I hope he does.

I've never liked him and still don't but he does do a good job most of the time. Fully get why Andersson made him captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 What's the Swedish feeling before the game? It's not really a must win, do you think it will be a 100% performance or a bit of a cool down before the knockouts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
