Ohmisterporter Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 It worries me when Pickford wanders out of the penalty area and is halfway up the pitch towards the centre line. A Slovakian player tried to lob the ball over Pickford's head but was well wide of the goal so he got away with it with little comment from the match commentators. Will he always be so lucky? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The under rated school boy tactic of the rush goalie, these days rebadged as sweeper keeper. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I think there have been three long range efforts in this tournament where the goalkeeper has been out of position - all have been wide. Sometimes it appears that Pickford has gotten frustrated with the deep defending/passing back/square passing between defenders rather than looking to go forward, so has tried to push the team forward. 3 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Collier Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 First half we weren't too bad but seem to have reverted back to the prior games ineptitude. The Swiss make a couple of subs to change things which has worked whilst Southgate sits there with no plan B and subs nodding off. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

britishcolumbian Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Eiii in all this Euro excitement, major news from Copa America... Canada beat Venezuela in the quarters and have thus advanced to the semifinals! Meanwhile the Yanks and Mexico didn't even get out of their groups... 😆 Well was a good run though, sadly I can't see Canada beating the Argies. The standard of officiating, however, is your typical sort of South American ridiculosity... CONMEBOL, frankly, is a joke. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacific231G Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Wouldn't it be quicker to dispense with the 90 minutes and just go straight to a penalty shootout? They could do the whole of the Euros in a couple of tension packed days. 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
