England v Denmark Match thread ....

Well done Kris and unlucky, some quality players there mate, you ran out of steam after the 3 subs I thought, but as always you played some quality football. Damsgaard looks a player.
Cheers mate.

Agree with the subs and the change in balance. Damsgaard and Dolberg are quality on the ball, Braithwaite and Yussuf not so much. It is what it is, decent game I think even for the neutral.
 
Has to be said, Sterling is carrying this England team with his attacking production. He on balance probably the best English player of the last few years, by some distance.

With his diving. Hopefully he gets his legs broken by some angry danish fans, his arms too, infact just stomp his entire body into the ground, leave him disfigured and disabled.
 
Go on then @Rosco
Sort out the thread for the final.

Not sure the jinx has worked so far, might aswel give it one last roll of the dice.

Though, we never understand these powers once released.. maybe the plan was to wait til England get to the final and then the loss would be even sweeter.. take them all that way with the prize within their grasp before ripping it away.

Yeah have to agree with this, its been all him creating chaos in the opposition areas. Kane did well today though but not man of the match..what the fuck is that all about.
 
If England win it, it will be largely thanks to Sterling’s consistent efforts, which will be ironic since he like no other player in recent years has been vilified by the “patriotic” press. The likes of Kane and Maguire will probably take the lion’s share of the credit, even though any neutral watching the England games at this tournament without prior knowledge of the players would probably say Sterling is the only “star” player on the team.

After Sterling it's Saka who has been the threat.

Mount did well enough today but was kinda just ok.
Kane just went around 'winning' free kicks, it was lucky the pen fell to him again.

Maguire and Stones have been pretty solid while Walker did lots of covering and support.

And as much as I'm messing about I get the anti England brigade. I turn the telly off or volume off at the least when it's the half time analysis.. it's ott.
There was a graphic the other day, Luke Shaw followed by Roberto Carlos.. what the heck?!

There's just soo much wrong with the way the games are presented also.
I can't being myself to watch Crouchys football bantz after party show.
And the lady on the pitch at half time is just too much.. though it did make me laugh when they had a female Danish International, born in Afghanistan on whose English was better than Ashley Coles.
 


That’s what I’m talking about. But what’s more impressive is that this game isn’t an outlier - Sterling’s running with the ball has been England’s main threat in every game in this tournament and he produced the goals and assists too. If Grealish (or Foden or Rashford or pretty much anyone else) produced anything close to this sterling (pun intended) run of form to drag the sleepy, initially self-doubting England into the final, he would be the new national hero, kids would be copying his haircut and pundits would already be talking about Ballon d’or. But since Sterling is universally disliked, the best he will get is passing acknowledgement in the middle of a Harry Kane praise-fest.

And one more thought. If Man City spend £80M+ to buy Grealish and sell Sterling to offset the some of the cost, they will become a weaker team as a result. Give me a player with low center of gravity who rides challenges and only falls when he wants over a fleet-footed gazelle who gets clattered and wins a lot of free-kicks. Unfortunately, on the evidence of these Euros, City executives will probably have a major rethink about this plan.

In general, the football coverage and analysis is horrible. They don't present a single piece of valuable insight.

Night and day compared to other sports like cricket, tennis, NFL, etc.
 
What a horrible way to win a football match, with pundits avoid the D word remarkably. Couldn't be wishing more for Italy to win through some shithousery now. Fuck these cunts. OG, Dodgy Pen Rebound. Cunts.

There's a sense of Southgate not really trusting Grealish to dig in for the 90 minutes, and when he did come on last night he was sloppy and hit and miss. He's a clever attacker, picks up pockets of space and he has that Barnes-like ability to release the ball at the very last moment, commiting the opposition player (and thus getting lots of freekicks), but there are definitely a few alarm bells and he might find himself doing a Marhez and spending a few years with limited chances and learning about the top level.

Like I said, I'm sure we're not the only team to be on the right end of a soft decision. We've been on the wrong end of much worse. But obviously the next best thing to us going out is to cling onto whatever taints it. It was never going to be any other way, was it?

We play one of the biggest renowned cheating nations on Sunday, I'm sure everyone can have their moral justice party then.

Are Italy known as that? Genuine question

Wrong. The next best thing to yous going out is your entire team of pathetic shit eating cunts to be drug tested, to fail, and to all receive ten year bans.

Refresh my memory, what was the last time we were on the receiving end of a decision like that, at that kind of level?

I really can't recall, the only travesty I can really remember is Henry V Ireland a while back.

Edit: hand of God was years ago..
And I suppose before VAR was Lampards shot over the line v Germany.

It felt like an English goal was coming, if it wasn't that penalty, it would have arrived sooner or later. The Danish legs had gone too, holding on for a shootout.

Should be a good final.
 
Couple of reflections

I dont watch him week in week out, but my word, Kane would be phenomenal in the middle of a Klopp 4-3-3. He's surprisingly good coming deep and playing balls through to wide forwards. He's got the physicality, wins vital free kicks. He's genuinely the complete centre forward.

Sterling's pace on the ball is frightening. Genuinely can't think of a player as quick with the ball at their feet.
 
Kane is also one of the worst divers I’ve seen. Lump of cunt all around.

Don't get it twisted. Diving is not what makes him a cunt. He is a cunt, and being a cunt is the reason he dives like a cunt. That's what he is.
