My Rice prediction, FWIW, is West Ham is his level and he’ll never be at a bigger club.

All he is, IMHO, is an athlete who’ll run up and down all day and sit in and do a job. With little else to his game. Specifically technically and intelligence wise. A typical, modern day footballer who are ten a penny.

The very definition of mediocre who gets over hyped to F down to being a young English player. Which explodes further with the London based media when thats at a top flight London club.

Hmmm opposite for me. I see a player with excellent intelligence as proven by him being able to play CB and have the intelligence to drop in there during period in games. The technique is one of those things that is hard to measure for me as people will get it mixed it up with flair. He has excellent technique when it comes to the first touch and the positioning of his body to receive the ball etc... I personally believe he is underrated and would not look out of place as a def mid at any of the top teams. Agree to disagree then.

Can’t say Lewandowski hasn’t had his chances that first half. WTF was the mad volley all about? Just head it in! strange decision that.

Still wouldn’t like to call this.

Yeah that was bizarre. Still I like that we at least came to play football instead of parking the bus and sending hail mary long balls to Lewy.

Lol I think we have used up our luck resources for the next 10 years in this game.

I thought Poland were more than worrh a draw. And I think that probably takes you through as Sweden are nothing to fear. And the same for Slovakia against Spain. Enrique’s side is nothing special at all.

Great for a group to go the last game were all 4 teams can qualify. And all 4 teams can go home.

Wednesday should be an exciting night.
 
Yeah this was far cry from the Spain of old. Can you imagine playing as aggresively against midfield of Xavi, Xabi and Iniesta, you'd get humilliated but here it was Spain who looked poor at times.

Proving to be quite a group of death.

I couldn’t imagine sitting Thiago from such a clueless, ponderous midfield when he could be orchestrating the whole show if I hadn’t seen Enrique do that twice now. 🤦‍♂️
 
Absolutely made up for 🇩🇰

Brilliant, emotional watch that last night. The Parken was bouncing.

THAT was the game proper football returned fully.

Be a conflicting watch now Sat’day against the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Mon the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 tonight and AndyRobbo making himself immortal up there. 🤞🏻🤞🏻
 
There was superb watch on Beckham on after the Denmark game that should be on the iPlayer for anyone interested from 5-years ago. ‘‘For the love of the game’

It follows him playing a game on all 7 continents in 10 days for his charity.

Some super story's about the unifying power of football.
 
Luca Modric continues to be one of the best players of his generation.

Superb display last night capped by a sumptuous goal. Totally run the game. Absolutely gutted for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. But it was great to have them back and the atmosphere at Hampden last night was up there with the 🇩🇰 as the clear best yet.

Devoed for him, but selfishly at least AndyRobbo can go on his much needed holidays now.
