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?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
