Leicester won despite never testing the dodgiest keeper in the competition outside the first two qualifying rounds ..... until Tielemans rifled the ball into the top corner. Chelsea deployed one of their most potent attacking threats to stop Jamie Vardy who has scored twice in sixteen games is it, and persisted throughout with through balls to their own centre forward who can out-speed anyone and find a way to miss the goal from any range. It was a bizarre game.
I'm not against women's involvement in football punditry. Alex Scott is as good as she was as a player, ideal to team up with Jermaine Jenas, both of them good to look at and listen to. Gabby Logan can present any sport for me. Karen Carney needs a vocal coach, like many of the men, but she knows the game too. But THAT must rank as the worst sports interview I've ever seen. The crowd noise actually slightly saved her; it covered a little of her embarrassment. And Youri was indeed great. I wonder if the Belgians would allow him to comment on a few of the games during the Euros?
I don't particularly care what time the kick off is so long as it raises the profile of both the game and the competition. So we feel excited, like I used to, so we care even when the match turns out to be a dour slog.
By the way, to show my age, all the ads kept saying ZERO FILLER, what is that, a dentistry term? AS it turned out the game was a poor substitute for a Paddington Bear film.
