Full Time: Norway 1-2 England

[josht]

That was tough. A bit disjointed at times but a lot of effort. Forced into subs that unsettled us at the beginning of the second half, but got those last few subs right. Rogers and Spence had a great impact on the game.

Norway are no mugs - sit deep but then can force a change in momentum that's tricky to deal with.

Great win for us. Did very well in extra time. Tuchel using the squad very well.

 

[LongLostBee]

Love Tuchel. Not happy with it at all.
That’s the mentality you need.

 

[RAF_Patto]

Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream and if you see a Bellingham don't forget to scream.

 

[aawharris]

Spence M.O.M.
Special mention for Rogers and Burn at the end.

 

[Untouchable]

Performances don’t matter. Tournaments are a results business.

I disagree with him. England smashed Norway. Harlaand didn't have a sniff. And Norway had a lucky goal.

 

[Hullbee]

Go tuchel shove it back to him

 

[Hippobee]

I thought we were very good against a team that is a World Cup quarterfinalist.

Tuchel has just said we were lucky and the quality was poor in his interview.

 

[guilly]

Love Tuchel. Not happy with it at all.

Very good indeed, and also schooling the interviewer about the question

Hey Jude belting round the stadium

 

[cromerbee]

Great from Tuchel! He was so right. What effin stupid questions!!!

 

[ladbroke]

Gotta love the Scottish

 

[Untouchable]

Exactly. England won on xG, possession, shots, shots on target and touches in the opposition box.

Haaland was nowhere and got England flu during ET.

 

[Beelated]

Tuchel telling it as it was. He’s quite correct.

I thought his substitutions were very clever with bringing Hames and Spence on who can play multiple positions and did so. Obviously wanted to play for the win rather than expecting penalties, although it would have been nice to see Ivan come on. He’s obviously keeping him for the final!!

 

[CTBee]

Great from Tuchel! He was so right. What effin stupid questions!!!

Gabriel Clark is a bit of a bell end, glad that Tuchel put him in his place

Like it's prefect technology. Rightio.

Immediately shows what a dick he is by stirring sh*t with Bellingham

 

[Hullbee]

Is Toney with the Oasis singing?

Yep full of energy giving it the beans

 

[Banana]

He was absolutely entitled to do that.

Bellingham handled it well.

Not perfectly, but well.

Especially for a 23 year old.

 

[northbrooklynbee]

England ultimately had more depth and more desire. But seeing Kane jaw to the ref endlessly and Spence’s dive in the box and Bellingham going to ground and Pickford using all his time wasting tricks all point to their needing to use every single tool at their disposal to get the win.
I was rooting for Norway, especially for Ajer to get that header, but would LOVE to see England beat Argentina (or Switzerland) — so please don’t come for me! lol

Disappointing that there wasn't a last, honourable row. One of the memorable moments of this world cup.

It was getting b-oaring anyway

 

[Canterbee]

Conveniently left out that Tuchel said Bellingham was "world class" minutes earlier. Heat of the moment stuff and the interviewer as always is fishing for a headline.

 

[Hullbee]

Right time for bed for me and a speculative nudge of Mrs Hullbee to see if she wants to celebrate……. Probably not

 

[jbee]

Roy Keane is right. England are not going to suddenly start playing well. This is us, take it or leave it, you never know it might be enough.

 

[Jezybee]

Row when you’re winning!
You only row when you’re winning!

There’s another game. You can sleep at work.

 

[Canterbee]

Roy Keane is right. England are not going to suddenly start playing well. This is us, take it or leave it, you never know it might be enough.

England showed a completely different style of play against Mexico where we were both intense and technically sound for much of the game (until the red card threw a spanner in the works). That was only a game ago so suddenly doesn't come into it. England have another gear which they'll have to find if they want to go and win the thing as opposed to perhaps slipping past Argentina and losing resoundingly to France.

That definitely hit the wire!!!!!!

 

[GlasgowBee]

Got a couple of grumpy emails from some pals up here, I had fun replying that this was probably the most corrupt, disgraceful WC ever and I am looking forward to Wednesday and happy

 

[aawharris]

That definitely hit the wire!!!!!!

I have only watched it once and the ball definitely moved!

 

[mhead bee]

Saka started like he has played all season. Then 20 mins he wa very good

 

[GlasgowBee]

I didnt want to point out we won with a French referee, it wouldn't suit the narrative

 

[GlasgowBee]

That definitely hit the wire!!!!!!

But most games go down to the wire!

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Gabriel Clarke, what a vindictive sh*t-stirring tw@t! Tuchel rounds on him and he dumps it straight on Bellingham , not giving a Tom Tit if that undermines camp unity . W&nkar

 

[Gazza Bee]

I'd be happy if he got our semifinal to be fair - very good referee

 

[Gawain]

I thought Clarke was entitled to ask his questions and Tuchel and Bellingham were equally entitled to reply as they did - made for excellent television.

While I watched this on ITV for a change over BBC (normally can't stand Roy Keane), but you know what? I think I actually prefer watching adverts over those dipsticks Shearer and (esp) Richards.

Meanwhile, Pougatch's little question/dig to Keane about managers and players contradicting each other was pure gold.

Sorry, but it's not his job to uphold camp unity etc, it's to ask probing questions which elicit interesting replies etc.

And be fair, you can't deny that both Tuchel's and Bellingham's responses were just that.

Norway 1 Bellingham 2

He’s an absolute superstar. He might just drag us over the line.

No need to apologise. He was clearly irked at Thomas’reaction to his stupid question and couldn’t help himself from telling Bellingham then, later, Kane what the coach had just said about them. Knob! All before Tuchel had had chance to say this in the dressing room.

 

[Gawain]

Hang on. Bellingham was saying it was brilliant etc, without knowing that Tuchel had said it was crap (paraphrasing).

Clarke's not there as some sort of fanboy, imo it would actually have been a dereliction of his duty as a journalist had he not followed up to Bellingham with a reference to Tuchel.

That's his f***ing job. Knob!

But although Tuchel was perfectly entitled to reply as he did, he didn't have to - he could have done like eg Kane did in batting away the question, then kept his (Tuchel's) criticisms for the dressing room,

I thought all four (Tuchel, Bellingham, Kane and Clarke) were doing his job as each thought fit and should be well capable of handling it.

Either way, it was far superior to the dull, bland, media-coached crap that constitute most post-match interviews.

 

[ruislip bee]

That sort of thing is given as a foul many many many times in every game. Just not in the penalty box often. I’m not sure how you can overturn it on that basis. Not give it maybe.

Madison buys 2 or 3 fouls every game like that - well he did till he got crocked.
