Would you say that Peles header against Banks was non- perfect? the answer must be yes because he didn't score but it was a fantastic header. I know what you both mean but football is rarely perfect.

Keepers would never save anything would that case would they? world class save. Yes, like the Austrian, Pele headed it “too” down. He gave Banks the tinsiest chance of saving it. Of course Pele could’ve completely misheaded it and Banks could throw his cap on it. Still a brilliant, save from Banks. As was tonight’s. I think me and Kid think both players, had they headed it different, wouldn’t have given the keeper a sniff. The fact that they didn’t gave each keeper a chance to make a brilliant save. Can be both.

Punctuation saves lives, it is the difference between "let's eat Grandma" and "let's eat, Grandma" Although in your case it was simply grammar, rather than punctuation.

Agreed, a few inches more to the right and it’s a goal. However it’s still a world class save. My gut feel with Turkey is that one of either Netherlands, Switzerland or even us will put three past them. They are a bit disorganised defensively. If we played them in a semi-final I would start Toney alongside Kane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Don't get me wrong.......the Turkish keeper made a match winning save, and displayed great reflexes in keeping the ball out. But REALLY?, "The save of the century" ? "Best save ever" etc etc? There is such hyperbole around these days? It was one of best photo moment saves, as it looked fantastic......but it was at the perfect height, and at the perfect distance from him.........it looked great, BUT best save ever? I don't think so? PS. Good luck to Turkey, but i wish Austria had got through, as next to Spain, they were the most entertaining team in the competition. IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I would put Kane on the bench, as i believe after a long hard season with Bayern. he looks knackered? I would start with Toney ( Who looks a safe bet.....Ha!), as he is fresh and motivated, and if it does not work, Kane can come on for the last 30? I would also start with Cole Palmer, play Gomez at left back, and Alexander Arnold at right back. Have i lost the plot?..........Does anyone agree, or is that just too many changes for the Swiss game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
