And this bloke will be the referee of one of the semifinals; interesting...I bet he hates England more.
I find this funny coming from you! The vitriol between yourselves and Rangers, and the bitterness towards England...
"You give a referee that has match fixed before the biggest game in Germany, what do you expect?" Jude Bellingham.
We all agreed this is going to be the team? Pickford Walker Stones Guehi Saka Rice Mainoo Trippier Bellingham Foden Kane Only question marks are Guehi/Konsa and Trippier/Shaw but fairly sure it'll just be the one change.
We’ll probably suddenly look a real threat in attack but then defend poorly losing 3-2.. Be typically English ! And the dodgy German ref goes against us .
It might work the other way - the attention and spotlight if he 'appears' to target Jude. To be fair it will be the first team that will attack us from the off and have good quality in the attack and the top scorer. The defence has received a lot of credit but i think we have looked vulnerable when teams have started to have a go, i think its as much good defending from us as it is poor quality on forward positions from the opposition so far. I am hoping, however, that we will have more space to play into when attacking them. Going to be periods of pressure from the Dutch but I think we both have vulnerabilities.
Already a precaution to "ease the disappointment" if you drop out? Why? The Dutch weren't world beaters in the matches before (neither were you, though) so for me it's a 50:50 match. Their goalie has surprised me a bit but you have a T-Rex in goal (sometimes I think he's doped tbh but it's maybe just pure Adrenalin) He has no chance, hasn't he? Every decision he's making is questioned now because of a very bad decision he made as a very young ref nearly 20 years ago. "You did it once, so you do it everytime" or so? And why should the ref going "against you"? Just because a (then) 18 year old Bellingham made this silly remark about something that happened when he was a baby and he didn't know before just when teammates at BVB told him? I don't think so Tbh I can't even stand Zwayer but I'm always willing to give a guy a 2nd chance after a failure. The FIFA/UEFA don't seem to have doubts about Zwayer, otherwise he wouldn't referee for international matches since 2012. It's already his 4th match at this Euro and afaik nobody questioned him before just now suddenly when England is involved? ps: Now I've posted this about "giving guys a 2nd chance" I'm sure he gives Bellingham a red card and denies England a penalty or something like that, to undermine my statement
Tbf I agree . It’s not like he has just come back from a ban and probably done loads of English teams before . Typical of our media to bring it up now through . The first bit was more that people wish we were more attacking but sometimes going away from the norm can makes things worse .
