Where they far and away the better quality side? Not really. They got lucky with their goals and were more impressive defensively. We had plenty of possession but didn't do anything with it. I don't think Courtois even had to make a serious save, did he? They played as well as they needed to, containing England after getting their goals and pretty comprehensively negating any threat from us. Belgium may have gone through the gears if they'd had to work for their goals, but as it was, they didn't need to. The only positive for me was how well Grealish played. Shame no-one else was able to match his efforts. As I said after the Ireland game, England really are a second tier nation. We're good enough to bully and dominate lesser countries, when our defence isn't really tested. But we usually come undone against the top nations. You can argue if it weren't for that deflection and dodgy free kick, it may have ended in a draw, but I think they'd have stepped it up and beat us anyway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Another one for the "Naughty Name" team 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Old Codger 3,039 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 More than likely... they employ nicknames a lot .. still remember Motty using three or four variations of Stefan Kuntz and using his squad number whenever he could... it's the little things in life that make you smile. Had one aunt when I was growing up that whenever a "bad" word was used on TV, would always come out with "What did he just say" , knowing that my mother would not swear in front of us kids. Even ten year olds can work out that rhymes like "I chased a bug around a tree. I'll have his blood. He knows I will" aren't as innocent as they appear when they carry the instruction, "Say this three times as quick as you can" 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites

I amazes me that football Chairmen continue to give him a job and throw money at him, and before you ask, no I dont like the man. Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Pulis is just up to speed with the times; you can be as truthful or misleading as you want as a public figure as long as you say you're being honest. Link to post Share on other sites

I think many have realised that very few people in the media (particularly interviewers) will call them out when they spout utter sh1te. So they can go from being flexible with the truth to just bare faced lying pretty much unchecked. That statement is about managers and politicians btw. Link to post Share on other sites
