Classic commentator's curse from Clive

Getting chalked off for handball.

What's that sound wave thing supposed to be?

They use it in cricket. It's to see if there was a touch on the ball.

Where's the microphone though?

Where's the microphone though?

Not sure, but could easily have something in the ball as don't they have sensors for goal line tech?

If not it could just be around the side of the pitch and then isolate the sound

 

[Kandi1977]

Vibration sensor in the ball

Turns into an audio cassette doesn’t he?

 

[Kandi1977]

Vibration sensor in the ball

Or rather an accelerometer to be precise.

"Added time to the added time" says Clive, as the clock ticks to 96 minutes of 97...

 

[Jurgen the German]

I root for an underdog like anyone else but it’s actually quite annoying when they schmize results from lucky VAR calls and poor finishing from the opposition.

 

[Seedy Ron]

Belgium were much the better team tbh. Should still get through that group.

 

[Chrissivad]

Dragusin Vs Lukaku could be a good battle.

Game is on Saturday at 8pm

 

[K.D.D.D.D.Soc]

Still very early days. Poor/average first game is quite common.

Would be more concerned about defensive solidity than attacking shortcomings if I supported England. Some of the criticism of Southgate is over the top, but it's also strange to come into a tournament like this and not really know what your central midfield should look like. He may very well get the answers he needs as the tournament progresses though.

Trippier at left back as anything other than an emergency option I don't get. He can do a job, but even on the right he's vulnerable defensively. Makes up for it on the ball and with that right foot, nullify that and it's a real weakness.

Decent start for the bigger teams, but some of them against rather average at best opposition...

France, Portugal as long as they don't get stuck in Ronaldo main character syndrome, then a bunch of teams. Including England.

Did Bobby Robson ever have any idea what his best team was?

What's wrong with the pitch in the France game? Those dark spots on the pitch almost look like folds.

In amongst Sam Matterface's 25 minute (and counting) waffle-fest, he did mention they keep having to relay it.

 

[Baleforce]

just play on, wasn't a foul

Haha, thanks. Waffle-fest! Love it.

This championship should be an eye opener for a lot of people in here, in the sense that a players price tag isn't necessarily a reflection of his skill, but more a reflection of what club he currently plays for. I've been saying for years that a 20m player can be just as good as one valued at 70m. Thankfully, Ange has the same view. It's all about weather the player fits and has the right attitude!
