Group D - Croatia, Czech Republic, England, Scotland

[Uppercut]

Laughing my arse off at the Scottish commentary. ‘You have to give credit’. Yes mate, he scored from the halfway line.

That curve in the air

 

[OverratedSanity]

that was all right

 

[wpdavid]

What a finish though

It was, but you'd prefer your keeper not to be playing as a holding midfielder.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I guess the Schick has hit the fan.

 

[Spark]

Scottish goalkeepers eh.

What's the keeper meant to do there, realistically?

 

[Uppercut]

Seeing the replays and my god. Even by the standards of halfway line goals that’s an absolute screamer.

That's pretty standard when you play such a high line, no?

Haha it was a great finish tbf. But yeah, no getting around that it was a huge balls up.

I suppose it looks worse to me because of what happened. And it was a heck of a finish tbf.

Well maybe not be stood near the halfway line?

His starting position is much too far forward.

But I mean, he’s giving up a 1 per center of a chance. It’s hardly the biggest mistake he’ll ever make.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Its to give the centrebacks high up the pitch an extra option isnt it? Pretty standard these days

Yeah that's what I mean. It's an outrageous strike, in practice absolutely no one is taking goals like that into account in general play.

 

[sledger]

Just such a Scotland goal to concede as well haha, goalkeeper scrambling backwards desperately, ending up tangled in the net, brilliant

 

[Uppercut]

His positioning isn’t standard for a sweeper keeper. He’d cover more space in behind if he was 10 or 20 yards deeper.

 

[wpdavid]

Dykes has to do better there.

 

[sledger]

His positioning isn’t standard for a sweeper keeper. He’d cover more space in behind if he was 10 or 20 yards deeper.

Yeah, he's voluntarily massively narrowed his own angles as well.

 

[sledger]

Oh dear Mike Pence

 

[Spark]

lmao dykes
