In the U.S.? Ian Darke and Steve McMannaman.

Bale sounds kind of American in the post-match interview. strange

Why? It's the same thing as a striker intercepting a back pass to the keeper

Because that's exactly what it isn't the same as. A back pass is deliberate, that just luckily came off his 50p head and fell to the player. If an attacker plays the ball forward and it skims the defender, then that's given as offside, I see this as more similar to that scenario than a deliberate back pass.

Intention has nothing to do with it. And it didn't skim off his head, the ball completely changed direction. Just like if a defender meant to clear the ball, but sliced it sideways to the striker. All pretty straight forward

Yeah ok, good analogy.

Was he offside when the ball was last touched by an England player(before Vardy obviously)?

Wonder if Roy will drop Sterling and Lallana and go with Vardy and Sturridge.

Darke is a tabloid level rag lover and mcmananan is a miserable fucker who shits on everything.

I can't stand commentators who always have point out how "bad the defending was" rather than giving credit for scoring a good goal

Maybe the things that test on chimps have some side effects.

Vardy is a gamble, he's a bit off the wall. But I can see no earthly reason to start Kane and not Sturridge

Scouser saves England's glory! [lol... that's how I figure out the media reaction from far away]

All in all the better side won, DESPITE the brainless knee jerk manager and a very good performance by Wales.
Yet again, if City had to sell a bit of soul into buying a primadonna, that should had been the Chimp: what an athlete, what a drive, what a scoring ratio (moreso for someone started as a FB) and what a passion for his Country.
Hate to say it but, apart what was easy for everyone to expect form Vardy, the English player who has impressed moost for consitent playmaking is Sherk, so far.
and how on the hell the senile moron can keep starting Lallana and Sterling is beyond beggars belief.

Also the amount of surreal biased hype, The Rags can command worldwide is just as insane as the French management of security:
I mean, I still have to heal my mind from seeing a banner on CNN (I mean CNN, not fucking Skysports) reading something like "Britain's new phenom Rashford makes history on being selected for England at Euro2016", that now, today, I have to listen Dicanio, the fascist cunt, commenting on Sky Italia, who, as soon as Lionel get in and waste the first ball he touches, just says "what a smart player, he felt the welsh behind his back and fouled him, preventing a massive counterattack"... you just cant make your mind on such shite!

Fairly certain Sturridge is from Birmingham.

I don't think that's ever been the case.

Weird wasn't it, a sort of mixture of Welsh, North Lahndan and Spanish accents.
Reminded me of a Indian or Pakistani street trader I once met in Belfast, amazing mixture of accents.

Bale to score and Wales to win (at least that is what I've bet on!).

Thank fuck!

Thought Wales were shit, like us playing a team that just wants to defend and hit us on the break. Thank fuck that game didn't pay.

Come on England!!!

We had Keown and Savage, and the little shit cunt was nearly crying in the end.

The big dilemma for woy is now he cant drop sturridge and vardy who takes the corners out of those two?

Apart from the goal Vardy got, which lets face it was extremely lucky given it was Williams that set him up whilst he was a couple yards offside, he was largely crap, worse in general than Sterling on the ball.

Totally undeserved lead for Wales.

This is what holds us back as a club - having a keeper who simply doesn't have the skills to play at the level we need.
Joe 'flapper' Hart; nice guy / one of the lads / a true blue / a club legend / everyone's favourite bloke / great short range stopper / excellent reaction saves / can't distribute / can't catch a ball / terrible positioning / shite with the ball at his feet / never commands his box / doesn't organise his defence / not good enough for us / only employed because he's English / would take a hike if he had any desire to see us have a truly great keeper / holding us back / be honest / get rid and move on.
