Michael Keane off to Everton for £25million.

 

At least he can't be considered an option if van Dijk doesn't sign.

[Gym Beglin]

Watch out for Amiri

[aRdja]

Germany are well on top in extra time. Amiri looks a real confident dribbler.

I think Keane would have been a good option if we couldn't get Van Dijk over the line.

[aRdja]

Jeremy Toljan is a very good player.

[Red House]

England doing what they do best in penalty shoot-outs. Abraham's penalty was particularly shit.

[aRdja]

England lost a shoot out again. Redmond missed the last kick.

[Trumo]

England doing what they do best in penalty shoot-outs knockout matches.

 

Concede entirely avoidable goals, struggle to retain possession the longer the game goes on, look completely fucked in extra time, hang on desperately for a penalty shoot-out, then blow up in the shoot-out. S'all abart pashun tho innit?

[jimmycase]

Shit pen by redman. I mean the fuck? He knows he has to score that else they are out and he fucks about with it instead of putting his laces through it.

 

That's england's trouble at pressure pens, some cunt wants to show what a cocky little twat he is by scoring a paneka type goal.

[polymerpunkah]

Down to 10, Italy equalize against Spain.

[Red House]

Yep, Bernardeschi. Brilliant player he is.

[polymerpunkah]

2-1 Spain now.

 

Keeper asleep.

 

Didn't look unsighted.

[Red House]

Saul Niguez ain't too bad either, is he? Some fucking strike that was.

[Red House]

The diamond of Ceballos, Llorente, Asensio and Saul is on a different level to anything else at this tournament. 

And, Saul gets his hat-trick.

Sky showed a clip of England and Netherlands Under 21s and their epic penalty shoot-out in 2007.  It got me wondering whatever happened to those players.

 

Turns out that Ryan Babel's career isn't the biggest disappointment of the lot.

Royston Ricky Drenthe (born 8 April 1987) is a retired Dutch professional footballer and rapper. 

In the 2005–06 season, Drenthe was promoted to Feyenoord's first team

Drenthe was presented as a Real Madrid player on 13 August 2007, alongside compatriot Wesley Sneijder.

On 31 August 2010, after having appeared rarely in his third season, Drenthe was loaned to Hércules in a season-long move.

On 31 August 2011, Drenthe joined English Premier League club Everton on a season-long loan deal.

Drenthe left Real Madrid after his contract expired on 30 June 2012.^[25] In December, he signed a deal with Russian club Alania Vladikavkaz

Reading officially confirmed the signing of free agent Drenthe on a two-year contract with the option of a third, on 21 June 2013

Drenthe joined Sheffield Wednesday on a six-month loan on 1 September 2014

On 23 January 2015, Drenthe joined Turkish Süper Lig side Kayseri Erciyesspor

Drenthe joined UAE Pro League side Baniyas Club in September 2015.^[34] He was released in July 2016.

Unable to find a club, Drenthe has since then announced that he is 'no longer a footballer', and 'fed up with the all the stuff in the football world', dedicating himself to rap instead.

[SammyAftershave]

How is his 'rap' career coming along?

[Josef Svejk]

I seem to recall Drenthe being a nasty prick. Even in a preseason friendly against us.

 

Or am I confusing him with someone else?

[manwiththestick]

How is his 'rap' career coming along?

Probably about the same as Clint Dempsey's.

[sir roger]

Changed his name to Dr. Dre, not heard of him since.

[Harry Squatter]

I seem to recall Drenthe being a nasty prick. Even in a preseason friendly against us.

 

Or am I confusing him with someone else?

No. He played against us when he played for Feyenoord. Think he tried injuring Steven Gerrard who grabbed the little snidey twat.

[Josef Svejk]

No. He played against us when he played for Feyenoord. Think he tried injuring Steven Gerrard who grabbed the little snidey twat.

That's the fellow...

[SammyAftershave]

That's the fellow...

 

Yes it wasn't Biggy Smalls after all. Simple case of misidentification.

[Duff Man]

This confederations cup semi is brutal.

[Jairzinho]

Stone wall pen that. Cunts.

[Duff Man]

Aye. Great work from the two video refs.
