coldel Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Actually, football is anything but non-stop. There are stats kicking around (scuse the pun) that show that for around 35-40 minutes of a 90 minute match the ball is actually dead and not in play. Quote

coldel Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 But the decision are made when the ball is out of play...of which it often is. Got to say, that Greek goalkeeper is SHOCKING Quote
manphibian Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Anybody else want England to lose to Italy, just so we don't lose to the Germans? Quote
coldel Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Am looking at it, and Germany look so good. Better than Spain. Although great the Greeks got another goal! Quote
glrnet Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 So come on you experts, what's your verdict about tonight's game? I'm a rugby man so don't really know the pros and cons but I feel 1-1 aet and we'll win on pens, Joe Hart will save Balootelli's pen. Well we can all dream can't we? And it would be nice for it to go our way for once Quote
Ian Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 0-0 & a penalty shootout that will finish some time after midnight Quote
DoogyRev Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Penalties ... you don't think we will win a shoot out do you Quote
coldel Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Its such a big call, going to be close, but horrible feeling Italy will edge it with an early goal in the second half followed by 40 mins of England frustration. That said, England do have this ability to sometimes pull a great performance out the bag. Thinking specifically when we did the Germans 5-1, the Dutch 4-1 and when we put the Argies out 1-0. Quote
glrnet Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Purely on the basis that we have to get lucky at some point Penalties ... you don't think we will win a shoot out do you Quote
Beavis Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Well thats Germany in the final. This is more painful than watching 5 episodes of Eastenders on the trot Quote
philb1965 Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Bugger..to be fair we didn't deserve to win. I'm gutted we fooked up on penalties again. One day,,,,thankfully I like Italy...now if it had been Germany or France..... Quote
philb1965 Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Italy have done me a favour, I'm not buying anymore beer...my liver thanks them. Quote
rothers2901 Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 What a shower, Iv'e lost count how many times England have lost by left footed players missing penalties. Can't they kick a ball hard? Quote
Beavis Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Can't they kick a ball hard? Can they kick a ball at all? F@ck me and people tell me F1 is boring Quote
rothers2901 Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Can't they kick a ball hard? Can they kick a ball at all? F@ck me and people tell me F1 is boring +1 Glad it's over maybe i'll get my days off reinstated. Quote
coldel Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 ...the metaphorical equivalent of a lame and knackared horse being put out of its misery on BBC1. Thank goodness, I could not have taken 90 minutes of Germany putting countless goals past us in the week. Tournament summary: Better players: Carroll Johnson Terry Cole Gerrard Very Average: Hart Parker Lescott Welbeck Walcott Very Poor: Rooney Milner What on earth was this joker doing on the pitch after the first game: Young Quote
marconorth Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 England played the last 1 1/4 hours looking for the game to go to penalties. That tells you it all....Time to go home!! Quote
