I only ever sung it when I was at an English school, the French school I went to didn’t do it at all and I think that’s probably true for all French public schools. I don’t think any schools sing the anthem any more in either case though. MtlMario 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lansdude Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 (edited) Can I just say maybe my favourite thing about the France match was watching their A-listers fall for Richie's dangling leg NBA tactics. Actually loled when he got taken down on the edge of the box. Edited June 12 by Lansdude Canuckia, costarg, GasPed and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Diego Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 I actually kind of wonder if some of Richie's antics work better with non-MLS refs and players that aren't familiar with his game. TGAA_Star, yomurphy1, An Observer and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a gamer and so slippery that he gets fouled a lot. The problem is that I think he has a reputation so he often doesn't get calls where he's clearly fouled if the ref is familiar.

Yeah it's a bit of both, tbf I do think he sometimes sticks out his leg and initiates contact (the Vardy type play), but for the most part I do think he is actually being fouled. He is quite good at exaggerating the contact in a natural way, especially compared say to a guy like David who I think is a bad seller of legit contact. It's a niche skill.

Davies might need to buy one of our RBs a car- AJ played Davies’ supposed Bayern replacement Theo Hernandez off the pitch, and then Mendy, the guy who he wants to replace at Madrid, comes on versus Richie who plays him up too. Two “no name Canadians” bossing around the two LBs who twitter considers to be the best in world, one after the other. How you say.. embarrazzing… WestHamCanadianinOxford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 This guy ^^^ I don't know how the Championship or elsewhere in europe didn't pan out for Richie. He is made for it. He would be great in France too. ECW, narduch, dyslexic nam and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sure I could say I would. Even with all my biases. What happened after, he got to buy the players he wanted. It that a bit cruel? Yes. It that football generally? Yes.

Cooper helped pick and develop a number of very good players with England youth teams, so I can't agree on the evaluation part. If I take off my red and white specs, I can't say that Richie is better than Omar Richards, Neco Williams, Renan Lodi, Harry Toffolo, Serge Aurier, Brennan Johnson etc. People who they brought in and played in positions where Richie could have played. Worth remembering that to field a full squad, you need to have a certain number of homegrown players. Maybe some of the "bias" Agree to disagree I guess.
