For as dull as it's been, if you believe the advanced metrics the expected goals conceded for England is lower than anyone else in the tournament. It actually makes me feel better about our chances against the better sides of we get that far, but I don't understand for the life of me why we've been playing like that against sides we should be attacking ruthlessly |

That was dire. Again. But....we are through and with zero drama? Everyone has looked a bit shite at this Euros except for Spain and to a lesser extent Germany. We might do ok in this tournament but it's going to be a horrible watch. |

Agree, great game that. Especially because a 0-0 draw was enough for both teams to go through. |

Well the second half was certainly an improvement glad I stick with it! |

Absolutely is a bore fest. Theoretically Croatia will go balls to the wall for a win as that will take them through and nothing else will....but they really don't seem interested |

Could be a nod to the local community? |

Resurrecting an old thread rather than starting a new one. Went to The Sphere in Vegas to see the latest iteration of the Grateful Dead on Saturday, wow. That place is absolutely incredible. I enjoy the Grateful Dead when I hear their music but really don't know many of their songs, the wife is a big fan though. Despite not knowing any songs, that's still a top 3 gig all time for me, they put on a good show and The Sphere is unlike any other place I've ever been and they were perfect for that venue. |

Thought Guehi was very good. Even that "mistake" he made (and then recovered superbly from) was really him being sold a short pass by Rice, who was terrible today, uncharacteristically |

He's picked up a couple of free kicks but really hasn't done anything else. Watkins has looked bright since he came on. Not sure I've even heard Bowens name |

Completely losing this in midfield. In our own third our defence has actually been ok, they aren't really creating GOOD chances, they just have the ball, all the time. That's on our midfield. Got to bring TAA off. |

I had the same thought. Can't remember the last game I watched which had a team win as many free kicks in the middle third of the pitch. Grealish maybe could have won some a little closer to the box. |

Since moving to the US I've gone back and forth on basketball. On the one hand it still has incredible iconic moments like buzzer beaters. But because of the nature of the action, give or take a 50% chance that any possession is going to result in a score, it's effectively incredibly low stakes for each possession until the last 5 minutes of the game, so it's kind of hard to get really worked up and dialed in until then. And probably no more than 30% of games are really still close by that point. If you're watching a game and it is one of the dramatic ones, then it's up there in terms of entertainment with any other sport. But the fact that there's a lower likelihood it will happen AND if it doesn't, almost none of the game has been exciting AND when it is dramatic, by definition it drags on with a timeout every other play, I can see why it turns some people off. It would be like if 70% of football matches a team was 3-0 up by halftime, the rest of the game would just feel like going through the motions a bit. Personally it's still my second favourite US sport after the NFL (which I enjoy even more than football these days) but I can see why it doesn't get the same amount of love. |

Bit beyond me with the details of the contract, but let's say he's on 10k a week just to pick a nice round number. If we paid all that now, wouldn't that cost us more in "real" terms than paying it as expected during the length of the contract, with inflation and all? 10k in 3 years time is probably equivalent to 9k today |

Takes two to do that though. Don't think he wants to sign long term. |
