Today's Football

[Wonkydonkey]

There are some strange teams playing today on Betfair, I've been trying to upload a screenshot but I'm too tired to fathom it out:

15:00 Suez Montakhab v You will do the Hodood
16:00 KuPS v Take a look at
17:00 Atlantis v P.S. Has Been Saved
17:00 Tampere v Hosted by Akatemia

Turn off the English translation?

Betfair score bar up the spout again. Keeps changing between current match and the last match you had on the page. Quite confusing because you think you're on the wrong match!

[Derek27]

A VAR in a Chinese match it seems. Got it at a good price, Betfair haven't suspended or voided, don't know my position!

Alls well that ends well.

Really worrying when you've backed and laid at a short price, hoping that the lay isn't voided.

I like Steve Cooper but I'm not sure he's a good fit for Leicester.

Bloody brilliant to see the whole England team sing the national anthem.

I confess to not watching much international football, I find it boring but because it was England I thought I would cheer them on. What a waste of 2 hours. They were pathetic, Accrington Stanley would have performed better. I'm surprised that these supposed 'top of their game' players don't know that the game is all about scoring goals and to score a goal you have to attack the opponents' goal. Passing the ball backwards or sideways does not win matches. There were many opportunities to move the game forward but instead they either passed the ball backwards/sideways or passed it to a colleague surrounded by opponents for him to make the backwards pass. And the commentators seemed to be of the same mind as me... do we have a tactically inept manager?

Copa América's already started. That took me by surprise.

Accrington Stanley? Who are they?

For people of a certain age.

You're dead right though, there's such a desperate need of energy, someone willing to take a risk and make something happen.

I remember them and I am on the other side of the world, I also remember as a kid watching Big League Football on a Sunday afternoon, think it was hosted by Brian Moore? not sure. Was also the time Nottingham Forrest were good, under Clough. Needless to say I hope they stay in the EPL for much longer.

This lack of ambition is curious given the aggresive attacking mentality these players showed coming through the 17's and 21s.
Perhaps Garethis the problem, perhaps the fear of being roasted by the media for a single error is holding them back.
I agree that we have enough talent to scare the wits out of any opposition. Self belief and huge support to take risks is what we need.
