Weird one last night. Was a bit sketched out going, atmosphere was eerie outside, police did a good job keeping the rival protests well apart. The Palestine protest was on the side of the ground I was in. I didn’t see any trouble personally, seen a few clips of people shouting at each other online. Game itself was shit :joy:

In other football news, that is not news. It was always going to happen.

Has Foden really been playing better than Grealish?

He had a great Champions League match the other night, other than that, I wouldn’t say so. Foden has never turned any club form into the same for England. I feel like Grealish will either set up goals, score them or draw fouls in good areas in most matches.

I’m an Everton fan and I’ll happily admit that Foden is double the player that Grealish is. Foden has had a rough time lately but in the last few weeks he’s been pretty class. When he’s in form, I prefer him over any midfielder in that England squad including Bellingham.

Foden can’t really do it without Haaland. Bellingham, Rogers, Palmer all should be ahead of him.

That’s the thing about international football anyway though innit- good players don’t make a good national team unless they really learn to play with each other, I think foden and Bellingham in the past just haven’t shown anything special internationally that they’ve shown in their respective teams. Hopefully that can change under Tuchell but I’m not so sure haha

Yeah that bicycle kick equaliser by Bellingham to take us to extra time wasn’t anything special.

Foden has done fuck all in an England shirt.

Jude (even though he’s a blue nose Michael Fabricant) i’ve got to give credit to tho.

Yeah Jude has been very good in an England shirt and produced big moments. Foden not so much.

Mad in the pub that day! Good times.

That goal aside I thought Bellingham was poor in the Euros, seemed desperate to draw a foul or dive every time he was on the ball.

Agree on Foden, done almost nothing for England and had many chances now. Grealish on the other hand looks a threat all the time in that format of the game. Oh well, the squad looks alright overall.

I mean we were shit but got to the Final and lost 2-1 so not that shit.

Buendia scored an identical free kick against Roma pre-season. Never in doubt!

Brilliant performance from Villa today.
