Who do you think England will bring into the team to replace Sterling?

Surely he's now on the plane to Tokyo to compete in the diving for England.

By default, it's Forza Azzurri! for me.

Ever since the dive that deprived the Socceroos of a spot in the semi-finals (or was it quarters?) at the World Cup, I cannot bring myself to support Italy.

    Not surprising [censored] England’s supporters are doing stupid things again. Some moron was shining a green laser on the Danish goal keepers face during the penalty shot by Kane as well as during the play that caused the penalty. Green laser is very powerful and can cause irreparable eye damage. That moron supporter should be locked up for 10 years after a jolly good flogging.

    I saw the picture before I read the post. I thought it was fluoro green zinc cream on his face and wondered what sort of weather conditions the game was being played in. (Good practice for the World Cup in Qatar, I suppose.)

    I’m supporting England because of my roots and since I’m living here, but a fair proportion of England football fans are genuinely the combination of the worst of Collingwood and Essendon fans. Arrogant but have done nothing in recent history, massive sooks when it all goes wrong, and will turn on their players and managers the moment they do something wrong. Zero class.

    This doesn’t surprise me at all, and that [censored] should crawl back into his little hole and stay there.

    That penalty to Mother England was a disgrace this morning, plus the Danish Goal ? Keeper having Lasers shone in his eyes!!!

    Game should be replayed

    The Danes have been treated like NZ 2 years ago

     

    Dodgy England ???????

    If that dive hadn't been paid as a penalty, the match would have ended in a draw. So, it would have been penalties. FWIW I'd back Italy to win a penalty shoot out every time. So I suspect that the Socceroos would have been knocked out in any event.

    That's not to say that the dive wasnt a dog act, and the penalty decision wasn't shocking.

    Round of 16 game going into Quarter Finals. And I blame Hiddink. He was overly defensive in tactics and substitutions once Italy were down to 10 men. Magical time though in Germany.

    We scored 5 goals in the tournament and conceded 5. Not counting the Italy game, where we did not score. Hard to beat a team when you don't score. We did not have the firepower to win the tournament. We did well to get through the group stage having snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in the first match.

    We got a good old fashioned football lesson by the hardened and experienced Italians. They showed how to win high stakes low scoring pressure cooker matches. We should have learned from that instead of whingeing for 15 years.

    Wrong, that was a fair dinkum penalty, Neil threw his whole body low to take the ball but also collected Grossi legs forcing him to tumble over Neil. Not much different to the current AFL free kick rule of going low to take out an opponent legs even if going for the ball. It was a dumb clumsy desperate challenge that deserved a penalty. Neil should have remained on his feet if he was going to challenge. It was a painful to accept but a just decision.

    Yet Plugger Mac conceded the free against the pear…

    I used to obnoxiously sing 'It's coming home' when watching games at home with other Dees supporting friends in 2018, then the following year I saw this video on YouTube that someone put together...
     

     

    I've known about the song since the 90s when I'd stay up to watch Baddiel and Skinner during the World Cup. I always used to the song to Melbourne as well! So glad theres others haha.

    I thought the Danes were truly hard done by and I was watching ten pin bowling the way white shirts were falling over. But then no chance I can barrack for Italy. Apathetic about this sport when diving with no water can win you a trophy. Danes were playing like a team. And all the dog acts of the English towards Danish supporters, just feral, as bad as any Collingwood trash.

    I'm delighted for Ash Barty. She's a little champion. 

    Her only flaw is she's a tiges supporter but then nobody is perfect

    I have a concern with this post. Why isn't Carlton in there with Collingwood and Essendon?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
