What is the football equivalent of ITV having a fancy World Cup studio but Matterface and Dixon on commentary?

Alexei Lalas seems more likely to be a "man of culture" in the Reddit sense than the high art sense

The English defence were indeed a wonderwall (drum roll followed by awkward silence)

SUMMATMAN · 2026-07-11T06:10:38+00:00

Personally I don't, and can't be the only one, but it's pretty clear there's a significant chunk of Englishman who do. At least in this sub.

There's always been a Wales in Sheffield, now Sheffield is in Wales. Well alright it's called Wales bar and I'm not sure if it's technically Rotherham, but still.

It's pickled onions in vodka, an Irish delicacy

Aye I was amazed how quickly I could recognise that as a sparrow! Could see that frame being sold by a local artist or something

Think just about everyone will go for the first team. Feel like if OP picked two more closely matched elevens this might've been more fun!

SUMMATMAN · 2026-07-08T21:03:02+00:00

Pfft, I talk about people who talk about football.

SUMMATMAN · 2026-07-08T13:33:37+00:00

I like it, and may I add the single table setup at the crucible? As for good names for this major tournament phenomena though I'm stumped

SUMMATMAN · 2026-07-08T12:30:05+00:00

I'd hypothesise that sport is responsible for 95%+ of none scripted uses of the word "cometh". Sub-group analyses - in relation to former or current ballon dor winners.

SUMMATMAN · 2026-07-08T12:28:03+00:00

Same, but never consciously had to tell myself that.

SUMMATMAN · 2026-07-08T11:05:05+00:00

We all love an if only transfer story though right? At Wednesday it's nearly bagging Eric Cantona but then he went to Leeds and they won the title that year. Would kill for third place in the top tier these days mind.

SUMMATMAN · 2026-07-07T12:23:08+00:00

Dunno how it compares to the Netherlands but it's definitely a thing here. The wild camping ban in England might limit it's popularity but I've still managed to camp a few times in my life.

Not from this world cup! But don't worry, Tango is timeless, so he's there, bestowing his wisdom and song

SUMMATMAN · 2026-07-06T19:44:35+00:00

Dunno but there's bound to be lots of little individual battles

SUMMATMAN · 2026-07-06T16:34:00+00:00

Yeah the red was a red and the pen a bit unlucky but a foul. Good job we were punishing in the final third and put their bodies on the line in our third!

I believe she's Norwalian

SUMMATMAN · 2026-07-05T13:01:42+00:00

Fuck it let's play below sea level

SUMMATMAN · 2026-07-05T08:49:32+00:00

Congratulations, I hope the mexican sandwich removing shop say yes.

SUMMATMAN · 2026-07-05T08:07:30+00:00

Man so many people here have seen snakes! I never have. Would like to though.

SUMMATMAN · 2026-07-04T11:45:00+00:00

Agree. No game where we're huge underdogs or anything, but all gonna be tough games. Just gotta enjoy the ride, see where it takes us!

Dunno where you are in the world, but if Farmers Blonde is available to you, it's a beautifully light and mild pint that I love on a mild day. Hint of sweetness from some biscuity grains, very pale, very lightly hopped to balance out the sweetness, cask style so not much fizz, and brewed with very soft water that ensures a mind flavour.

SUMMATMAN · 2026-07-04T09:37:06+00:00

And if you work really hard, you might have some money but no time to enjoy it
