Poor Harry Kane, interview on ITV, says he sent Eriksen a text but didn't get a reply.


How very fucking dare that Danish cunt! Doesn't Erikson know that Harry ran into a post the other day?

As if that massive plank has ever gotten a reply.
 
Hungary are fun. They've done well to hold a very average portugal.
 
Can't understand why Andre Silva is ignored after having such a good season with Eintracht Frankfurt
 
How has Rudiger stayed on the pitch after biting Pogba on the back before halftime? VAR is fucking useless if it can't pick up an incident like that
 
Nice goal from Mbappe but ruled out for offside.

I don't understand anything now.
 
Kinda unfair when the commentator on itv said Hummels is running like a 32 year old man...
He was trying to outsprint Mbappe! Who again was really good today.

Feels odd watching Germany play, the stereotype of supreme athleticism with ridiculous efficiency has given way to a buncha players bereft of any confidence being coached by Lowe who was sniffing his fingers when the camera panned to him..wonder where he'd shoved them before the camera got to him

Unless there's good offer, I think he's still worth keeping.

[article]Vladimir Petkovic lamented how Switzerland “became more passive” after he subbed assist-maker Xherdan Shaqiri in the 1-1 draw with Wales, but insists it was essential.

Shaqiri was the only Liverpool player to feature as Wales came back from a goal down to grab a point in their first game of Euro 2020, with Neco Williams and Harry Wilson both unused.

The 29-year-old, who started as a No. 10 for the Swiss, made his mark by teeing up Breel Embolo for a headed opener with his excellent inswinging corner.

No player created more chances than Shaqiri (four), but Petkovic made the decision to substitute him in the 66th minute in Baku, replacing him with rumoured Reds target Denis Zakaria.

Wales fought back into the game and sealed a 1-1 draw through Kieffer Moore’s header, and after the game both managers highlighted Shaqiri’s withdrawal as the turning point.

However, Petkovic stressed that it was the right decision as he manages Shaqiri’s fitness for the rest of the tournament.

“He showed a good performance but I also thought about the next matches where we need him and I wanted to create more stability in midfield,” he said, as reported by the Guardian.

“We became a little more passive but this is not only our fault because Wales had to risk more and they had to put in a stronger performance.”

For Wales manager Robert Page, it was Shaqiri who was causing all the problems in the opening hour, with his assessment perhaps even food for thought for Jurgen Klopp.

“Shaqiri was causing us a few problems with the counter-movement, where he was going in behind and the centre-forward was dropping in,” he told BBC Sport.

“Which we dealt with, just unfortunately the gaps started to appear second half, and when you play teams like that they exploit the gaps.

“We became a little bit too stretched and ultimately we’ve conceded from a set-piece.”

Though Shaqiri is not a focal figure for his club, he continues to show his worth when called upon and this is magnified when he plays for Switzerland, for which he is arguably still the jewel in the side.

Liverpool are believed to be willing to allow Shaqiri to leave in the summer transfer window, but the question still remains whether it would be the right decision to part ways with such a unique, game-changing talent.[/article]

Shaqiri, 29, still has two years left on the five-year deal he signed when he moved to Anfield and would struggle to match his reported salary of over £80,000-a-week at another club.

“At the moment, I don’t really want to talk about it,” he told Mirror Sport during his UEFA press conference to preview Switzerland’s game against Italy on Wednesday at the Olympic Stadium.

“I have a contract there and after the Euros, of course, I will talk to my agent.

“We will look at the situation and then we will decide how to proceed.”

But how fucking fast is Mbappe?
Is he faster than Owen in his pomp?

Easily faster than Owen.
Owen looked fast because he was playing against the likes of Adam and Keown. Strikers today are fucking track and field sprinters.
I honestly believe Mané and Salah are quicker than Owen.
 
Yeah I'd go along with that Mbappe is definitely quicker than Owen.
Again though fast v acceleration, Mbappe acceleration over those 15-20 yards is unreal
 
Putin isn't going to be happy with the Russian left back waiting for the ball to come to him like that.
