The ability of Hrgović has been ramped up so much this week. Never been elite and the win decision against Zhang was one of the biggest disgraces I’ve ever seen.

Simpson just about deserved that but the ref has cost Williamson a couple of points there by allowing the leaning and holding. And I’m no fan of a Darlo lad doing the fake Geordie thing, so wasn’t willing him to win in any way.

000

Stephen Goldsmith @stephengoldsmith.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Ref isn’t breaking this enough. All for boxing on the inside but Simpson is just leaning and locking and getting away with it imo.

Ivan Toney’s performance was so bad for England last night that you do wonder who was the person we needed to make the ball stick? Was there anyone in the squad?

010

Stephen Goldsmith @stephengoldsmith.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Might as well have just kept Carsley tbh. I was persuaded on the basis that we had the guy with the game management. It was brave and correct against Mexico, debatable but vindicated against Norway, but the absolute last thing to do against them. Poor. Really poor and cowardly.

Stephen Goldsmith @stephengoldsmith.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Of all the shithouse fouls they could’ve showed (ten identical ones before Anderson’s card?) They show Kane covering his mouth talking to the ref 🙄

Altitude, home advantage, ten men. Legends.

Stephen Goldsmith @stephengoldsmith.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

All this altitude prep talk when it’s us fans at home who have to strategise it. Nap or no nap. How much alcohol do you need to peak at the right time. What’s a good time to get on the vodka red bulls. Not easy this.

Stephen Goldsmith @stephengoldsmith.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

Hey you know would be really unique and groundbreaking? If a journalist went for a run or walk in altitude and told us how out of breath they are. I’d love to see that 300 times on my timeline.

There is absolutely no reason, zero, zilch, for Canada to not be wearing their home kit here. Home kits unless necessary. At all times, in every football match. A hill I’m very happy to die on.

Cue a huge overreaction again. England have won all three group games in a major tournament once. Once. Calm the fuck down man.

Stephen Goldsmith @stephengoldsmith.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

I know the Scotland vibe is all about being positive etc but at what point can you question the decision behind Dykes coming on before both Stewart and Shankland when chasing a game?

130

Stephen Goldsmith @stephengoldsmith.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

Not a knockout game but some decisiveness they brought Tuchel in for on display. Kick up the arse at half time, go for it then change the attacking players when they gas. Then James into CM to calm any late response. Previous managers would’ve continued to feel the game out.

020

Stephen Goldsmith @stephengoldsmith.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

My concern about England has always been the defence. Ridiculously nervy on the ball. Switching off for both goals. Not good enough at this level. We’ll settle though I think (hope).

Well that was something wasn’t it, wondered if it was a dream. While it felt a bit “freakish” - it was never close to being a 5-0 game to anyone - you can’t switch off like that in the PL. Has to act as a warning you can’t start to think less than 100% is acceptable for even a minute. #SAFC
