Bit off topic but I was watching Georgia playing in the Euros last night. They beat Portugal which was a surprise (Portugal is top four country in the world and Georgia ranked around 70th). The commentator mentioned how their flag is similar to England's but have four extra crosses one for each of the Gospel authors.
I was cheering them on as they are underdogs punching above their weight and now I see them doing this. A new favourite country showing us the way to fight in politics and in sports. True David v goliath stuff.
They have Spain next, we'll see how they do. It's a shame my country England are doing terrible and they have a lot of easy teams to progress but Georgia has the most difficult path to progress. I hope they go on to win the thing.
british football has changed we no longer value talented people with a ball but people that run fast.
We play a slow defensive game compared to Europe, so if we dont open a hole we play it back to defense and pass it about
Just these two reasons make a situation that takes all the aggression out and no one makes runs to open their defence, so they stand waiting for the ball to be passed to them, instead of taking initiative.
They also have no direction from the manager, like how to play, poor quality set plays, placing people in positions they don't play.
Bad chemistry amongst the team, never played with them before so cant anticipate their movements or actions.
So glad you were able to see this incredible upset for Georgia over the Euros! I was admiring their flag earlier, good to know the meaning of the 4 crosses.
Thank you for mentioning fren!

I was holding my breath for Georgia the whole game. This team of nobody's beat Portugal and Renaldo!

England has the lowest number of touch's in the PK box in the tournament. Why are they playing so timid?
A lot of reasons like,
