England have really impressed. My fear is a) Phillips gets a red and b) England don't have the legs for extra time.Big_G_NorthWales said:

They are embarrassingly awful. We're playing so many defensive players that we don't have enough players who can pass forwards to put good attacks together. We've not even defended that well. Germany have made better runs in behind with good passes to pick them out.isam said:Gosh England are a boring team to watch. Kane was unlucky there
The commentators complain about Kane, but you're not going to have much joy as a striker when the team plays with a back seven.
But then neither is Southgate
Jordan Pickford is awesome!0 -
One for Boris to thank the Coalition for?
Labour had the same problem in Hartlepool, and in the last gen elec: despite not being in government for a decade, it is seen as the establishment wherever it has had MPs for years and is blamed for cuts compelled by Tory austerity." Report from Batley:

Somebody has to hurry up and score if we're going to get to 3-3 in normal time, as is now customary.1

England are the better team with better players and more depth of talent. That's why we are ten places ahead in the FIFA rankings.Stocky said:You guys must be watching a different match to me. Apart from first ten minutes England has been the better side. Playing really well I think - better than the first three matches added together. Saka and Walker particularly good.
I've just backed England 2-0.
But Germany are using their talent in a smarter way, and have come closer to scoring, and will very likely win. Because we have a timid, defensive manager, lacking imagination0 -

From a Scottish pro-independence POV the ideal time for an indyref rerun would be shortly after England has won an international sporting competition, such as the World Cup or the Euros. The sight of the British prime minister and other British leaders, and some English ones too, celebrating the victory, congratulating the team, etc., would be enough to drive a proportion of "soft Noers" completely over the edge. Never mind that England played knockabout recently to try to help Scotland with a nil-all draw.
The effect could accumulate from as early as now, if England goes from success to success in the sporting world. So separatists, take down those German flags! Be as cunning at politics as you think you are! Oh wait - is something getting in the way?0 -
Kane pulling up injured?
Could be a blessing the way he's played.0 -
Great opportunity to sub kane0

Kane down
He needs to be substituted0 -
Why both taking Kane off. He wasn't playing before, so it won't make any difference.3

Of course Sweden has a low Gini Coefficient, its a deregulated economy, without silly things like a minimum wage, crushing the pore.Gnud said:

What exactly is 'your share' of what somebody else has earned?NickPalmer said:
I'm reasonably well off in terms of income, and would be pleased to pay more tax, but only as part of a collective effort by democratic decision, as I did in other countries. I wouldn't pay a voluntary tax or bother with the lottery - I simply give away what I don't need. That doesn't seem to me inconsistent with favouring higher taxes in general.Nigel_Foremain said:
By most definitions I am rich, though compared to some I am not. I would like to pay more tax, but only because I would like to earn more, which will mean I will.
I have always thought it would be a fun thing to have a "voluntary tax" , which of course in a way we do and it is called The National Lottery. I therefore politely suggest to those who say they would like to pay more tax ( I struggle to believe you), imagine you are back in the 1970s and apply the tax multiples that were around then. With the surplus money you have you can buy lottery tickets with a promise that you will give any winnings to a willing beneficiary. I am happy to volunteer as that possible beneficiary should you not think of a more worthy cause.
The classic example is Scandinavia, where the majority view is still that it's fine to earn a lot, on the understanding that up to half goes to fund excellent public services and a really strong safety net if you fall on hard times. That has nothing to do with nationalisation (which is not part of the model) or envy of high-earners - if you earn megabucks and then pay your share, fine.
Scandinavia and Sweden in particular exultantly run nations, but they are not particular high tax, they just don't camouflage there tax in things like employers NI or employees NI, and a modest cooperation 21% below OECD average and below what we will have soon. there Income tax looks and overall they pay a bit more tax than us, but not a lot, they also have a state pension that is increases with how much tax you have paid over your life, so it a more like a compulsory private pension.
They are successful economically, largely because they are low and sensibly regulated.
They have good public service because they have completion in them, they have school chose, with funding following the child to the school there parents what, and there heath system is not one big monolith, but run by the local regens, who try to out do each other, and many of them contract out provision of services to private company's.
Despite this, Sweden has a low Gini coefficient.0 -
Evening all
I know what you're all thinking - if only we had an in-depth analysis of Icelandic polling at a time like this.
Iceland is another country due to vote this autumn - the latest poll:
Independence Party: 24% (-1)
Left-Green Movement: 15% (-2)
Social Democratic Alliance: 12%
Reform Party: 12% (+5)
Pirate Party: 12% (+3)
Progressive Party: 11%
Centre Party: 5% (-6)
Icelandic Socialist Party: 4% (new)
People's Party: 4% (-3)
Changes against the last election.
The current Government is led by Katrin Jakobsdottir and is formed of the Independence Party, Left-Green Movement and the Progressives and overall they are little changed - down just three points. The main movement has been the rise of Reform at the expense of Centre.
As we all know, Reform was a split from Independence in 2016 and, unlike the latter, is pro-EU and the cause of the split was the refusal of Independence to hold a referendum on joining the EU (perhaps based on what was happening in the UK at the time). The Pirates have also moved forward as well but you'd have to think the governing coalition was set to continue.2 -

England ALWAYS play it back. I give up. Even when there are clear attacking opportunities.

I love the relaxed way Kane gently jogs around, 20 yards behind the ball, really very relaxed about the whole game thing.

I never rule out a boring '1-0' win each game type of team out of an international tournament, not after Greece won it back in 04. It's how England will win it all if they achieve it.
There you go.0 -
