No shortage of chances in the Sweden v Ukraine match.

Looked like he kicked the player in the knee.My remote sweepstake hopes were dashed by Sweden's defeat.
What did anyone think of the Danielson red card? It's one of them where you can see why it was given but it did seem a bit unlucky. It was a clearance rather than a tackle and whilst you could argue that it was reckless, it wasn't high and was in the natural finishing position so i don't really see what else he could've done.
If you make contact that high (knee high), with studs showing, it's a red card all day long now regardless of intent or playing the ball.My remote sweepstake hopes were dashed by Sweden's defeat.

No, I thought it was awful.Well, Well, Well. Jinxy, You have to admit that was one dam good performance today?
Jinxy still being a miserablist and praying we leave Europe for the second time this year.No, I thought it was awful.
In fact, it reminded of Tisdale. You know, suffocate the game for the first 60 mins, whilst praying you don't go 1 down. Then around 65 mins you bring on the players you should've started with, try and play how the fans want to see you play and hope for the best.
A lot of people saying Germany are now a poor side, well I disagree. They started really well and if luck had gone their way, they could've won it. When Muller missed the sitter inexplicably, you just knew it wasn't their day.
But that's ok of course, because England are now the world-beaters we always knew they were. Football's coming home, yada, yada. We've won our world cup final. Then we go and lose in Rome. You know the drill.
That all said, I think there were a few bright points: Harry Maguire, Jordan Pickford, Luke Shaw, Kalvin Phillips & Grealish of course. But Harry Kane was a ghost again for the most part and Saka & Sterling just running around like headless chicken again, often finding themselves down Rabbit holes. So it kind of evens out.
Well yeah, but you know the only reason we won is because we've left the EU. We'll never leave Europe by the way.Jinxy still being a miserablist and praying we leave Europe for the second time this year.
