Imagine the report if it had been England though. Lucky not to concede early, poor defending at set pieces, poor delivery from corners, Pogba disappointing, fortunate late winner... etc. The UK press would have lapped up the negatives.
I thought the game wasn't bad, the winning goal was fantastic, and I agree with Tutt-Tutt that it was nice it meant so much to him.4 -
'Cos next year if they finish 10th, they will trouser about £125m from Sky alone. That's without the shiny new bargain stadium and all the new fans buying Payet shirts - the income from that alone will probably pay his wages for a month vff.vff said:
How are WHU able to afford that kind of money per week exactly ?Bournemouth Addick said:
He's just signed a 5 year contract extension and I've seen figures banded of £125-£150k a week. Going to take a lot of money to buy him.ricky_otto said:

I saw on the BBC live text that Danny Mills (lol!) that the match last night was just like watching an England performance so the media are getting their sly digs in where they can.Algarveaddick said:Imagine the report if it had been England though.

It wont matter if we win 3-0, Dele Alli will slip and give away a silly corner and thats all they'll care about... "Win three nil but a better team would punish us for giving away set pieces like that" will be the headlines, its just getting plain boring from them now.
Its like the press all posted the comments about the team sheet in Lewington's hands... I mean to say; who's side are they bloody well on!!!1 -
What do people think for the Albania game?
Could see them causing an upset.0 -
Didn't Albania only qualify because of the riots caused by a drone at their match in Belgrade?0

I don't know anything about them. What are they good at?ValleyGary said:What do people think for the Albania game?

They were awarded a 3-0 win over Serbia which gave them the two points to finish ahead of Denmark... Nothing to say they wouldnt have won anyway thoughIA said:Didn't Albania only qualify because of the riots caused by a drone at their match in Belgrade?

Agreed... They're like all the other minnows in this Euros.ValleyGary said:What do people think for the Albania game?

Yes the competition has been devalued by having more countries, yet all the small nations know they only need to win one game to potentially advance so because of that they'll all go for it.
Reckon there will be surprises from Albania / Iceland / even Northern Ireland because they've all qualified with ease (rather than rely on the Play-Offs like Hungary) so just dont know how they'll handle this big stage1 -
Already prefer the simplicity of the BBC coverage.
If I was someone new to seeing France / Romania / Albania / Switzerland I wouldnt have had a clue last night watching ITV who was who.
On the other hand love the way the BBC for putting the team names in their colours, no effort needed0 - Sponsored links:

Ha what do I know
Another flappy keeper0 -
Albania need to control their nerves
This could be a cricket score if they dont compose themselves0 -
Did a Linesman seriously initially give Albania a throw in then?0

Djourou is an accident waiting to happen0

Not offering much so far, Albania.0

It seems mad how a team can score just 7 goals in the qualifiers 5 of which were against Andorra and still make it to the euros.0

What a chance0

Great save. Albania surprisingly don't look that bad.
Can see a player getting sent of in this.1 -
They are like Romania last night. Organised, committed but lack that final third.Karim_myBagheri said:Great save. Albania surprisingly don't look that bad.

Albania look quite good so far. Had them and Romania down as the weakest two teams potentially and both actually have some useful players.0

Sending off even quicker than I thought1

Albania beat Portugal in qualifying so have something about them.
Ref is irritating me. Makes me realize the Hungarian bloke last night had an excellent game. Albanian's rolling around equally annoying.0 -
Wish I did in play betting0

Steve Brown defending1

That sending off has killed it. Albania were right in it before that.1

Not sure McDonalds offering player escorts is a well thought out advert given yesterday's allegations around De Gea.0

Missed the start of this game. Watching the half time chat and just heard that two brothers are playing against each other in this game!0

Granit and Taurant(?) Xhaka, the former Arsenals latest signing, I think they were born in Yugoslavia and moved to Switzerland at an early ageRed_in_SE8 said:Missed the start of this game. Watching the half time chat and just heard that two brothers are playing against each other in this game!

A lot of players seem to be losing their footing on this pitch.0
