I have no tv so can't comment - my comment was directed at the coverage in the news etc where half the program is given over to speculation and what I view as pseudo vox pop - my guess is that it is considerably cheaper to get a bunch of sports fans to talk than to employ real journalists to investigate much more important matters.

There are a million places to whinge online. Please don't do it here, in our little oasis of enjoyment, in a rather tricky world.
Yeats: "Tread softly for you tread on my dreams"..
We all cherish our dreams, and no-one should wish us ill or misfortune in the results of our teams when all they need to do is switch off, switch over or find something else to enjoy.
As for "importance".....are some sports more "important" or "acceptable" than others? Why?
I can only quote Jurgen Klopp once again. Asked at the height of the Spring Pandemic when no games were taking place for weeks, he said that no-one wants to hear a football manager's thoughts on the science or the correct approach to controlling the spread. Then, most memorably:
"For some of us, football is the most important of the least important things".
And that's why some of us adore this thread, and the sense of belonging, shared knowledge and shared emotion we find here. So please respect that sensitivity, those deep feelings. I'm still on a high from yesterday's astounding events!

OK! Now its back to considering the team selection today.... what about a midfield four of Foden, Hendo, Saka and Grealish? But with one further forward behind Kane and Stering? 4-3-1-2? Or if that's too attacking to start, Rice or Philips in for Saka and/or Hendo?Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 29-06-21, 12:47.

Yes, a defensive starting line-up....hmm..etc., but Saka is up front, and I guess this is a 15-player game......
Werner starting for Germany.... I note Thomas Müller winking at the camera during the anthem.......
What a moment this is....and what a Wembley atmosphere, what a sound.....!
I can hardly bear it already....Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 29-06-21, 16:00.

"I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."
