Expand It's very possible his nomination is as much for being Bayern Munich's top scorer. In any case, he's more likely a long-shot for this award to begin with. It usually goes to someone who was part of the Champions League or Euro winners, which tbf could've meant Bellingham as the likeliest 3 Lions candidate, but I think he's also probably a long-shot.

Ryan1984 Posted September 8, 2024 Report Share Posted September 8, 2024 I didn’t realise England’s interim manager had annoyed the Telegraph, Mail and Express (plus their readers) so much.

balti-pie Posted September 9, 2024 Report Share Posted September 9, 2024 As an irish, it was a fairly predictable result, the performance in the first half was excruciating at times but improved in the second - funnily enough as England decided not to try as hard 😄 I thought we'd lose by 3 or 4 beforehand to be honest. There's a huge gulf between the two teams in terms of talent, exposure, resources, organisation, everything, and Ireland have got a fair while before we can even think about challenging for qualifying. Its just the truth of the matter - some of that can be changed, and some is just out of our hands. We can only choose from the players we've got, and we dont have anywhere near enough good'uns. Kelleher would be the only player even in the discussion for a squad place at england, the pool just doesnt go deep. Lets be honest, its not a pool, its a puddle! In terms of the two scorers - Grealish i have no problem with to be honest, yeah he was capped at u17, u19 and u21 but he declined a full callup and he wanted to play for England, and if thats where he feels he belongs then i have no problem. Rice is different for me, because he also went u17, u19 and u21, and then accepted a callup to the main squad three times. Said he was irish, proud to represent the country, said he'd not defect (even came out with some hilarious 'Up the RA!' tweets that are worth digging out) and then took the shilling. So bollocks to him, i hope his next bowel movement is a pineapple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Anything before VAR is an improvement, the 80's nostalgia comes from when it was still the working class game before the prem though the hooliganism tends to spoil it a bit for me. 2000's / early 2010's also the best champions league period for me as well. Zidane, Fat Ronaldo, Pirlo, Rooney, Seedorf, Nesta, Henry etc.. early enough in the format when big teams across europe playing each other still felt special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
