Re: Soccerball Therad
Thank God we're back to three matches a day.
A mere two matches per 24 hours was akin to a spell in Guantanamo Bay!

Re: Soccerball Therad
I missed most of the first one, which was supposed to be excellent, then watched all of the second one, which was mostly terrible
Re: Soccerball Therad
Albania have a player called "a yeti" (probably not correct spelling), which makes for some pretty good commentary
"a yeti heads it away" etc etc

Re: Soccerball Therad
that was the first match I've seen in a few days and it was pretty fantastic
Re: Soccerball Therad
Great stuff, that! The emotion, the chaos, the desire, the skill - pure football!
Re: Soccerball Therad
Andros Townsend, the co-commentator, groaned when the ref blew the final whistle. I love that. He was genuinely wrapped up in the moment.

Re: Soccerball Therad
It is apparently 'Ajeti', which reminds me that the (Albanian) mother of one of my sister's primary school classmates had the first name Ajete, which is presumably connected. Albanian is rather an interesting language and I would like to know more about it.

Re: Soccerball Therad
fairly dreading this match, for some reason
Re: Soccerball Therad
I managed to get home from the vet to watch the first half but then I have to go to my final piano lesson. They've really scheduled this Euros poorly, can't believe I wasn't even asked
Re: Soccerball Therad
I wish I’d had a piano lesson
Re: Soccerball Therad
i would be interested to know what Richard has to say
Re: Soccerball Therad
Richard is fully dead now
Re: Soccerball Therad

Re: Soccerball Therad
I've been a Southgate apologist in the past, but that was abysmal, and it had some serious Graham Taylor Euro 92 vibes going on there.
Re: Soccerball Therad
Best word!
Re: Soccerball Therad
Also, I thought the France / Netherlands game was pretty mediocre, except for the offside goal, which, as an ex-goalie, I 100% agreed with the officials decision!

the first five minutes seemed really promising but then it got boring and I fell asleep in the second half

I'm not using a time machine if it leaves you with scuffed reddened elbows.
