Opinions eh? I think her voice sounds like fingernails down a blackboard, it doesn't matter what she's saying when the noise she makes is that objectionable to my delicate ears.

What's wrong with that? Natural born leader Upson was, would run through brick walls for his club, his teammates would lay down and crawl over broken glass with their flies unzipped* if he so instructed, many a fellow has been heard to say he's the kind of bloke you want in the trenches with you, so widespread is his legendary bravery and stoicism known!

Fabulous save from Rui Patricio. That's the guy's quality and that is why I wanted him

Been watching Carvalho closely in this and the Spain game. Wanted us to sign him, but he looks incredibly ponderous. Disciplined, simple passing, blocks off angles, but unconvincing in the tackle and zero energy and pace.

Out of interest, I am not watching this on the actual broadcast.

Have the left the red button option there to listen to alternative audio on 5 live?

Morocco have had chances in this. Portugal have been their usual ugly self.

Vicky Sparks, who our last manager threatened with a wee slap.

Any player making that bloody 'TV' sign should be sent off. Stamp it out now.

:thup: also everything is being reviewed, the whole 90 (120) sodding minutes is under constant VAR review, how difficult is it for the players and managers to get it?

That Portugal keeper is probably the worst I've seen in a while, easily the worst in the tournament.

I found her jarring to begin with, but partly it was because I'm so conditioned to hearing a male commentator. By the end, no problems. She wasn't especially insightful, but did a better job than some other commentators.

I'd take Dianne Abbott commentating on the football over Clive Tyldesley.

Interestingly, its likely Wolves will have to pay around £18 million for him. He was one of the 'later' batch of players to cancel their contracts citing 'nightmares' as a reason. Doesn't bode well Wolves signing a player who suffers nightmares.
