What does this mean? Still everything to play for in this group?

Think so, England and Czech on 4 points, Scotland and Croatia on 1.

So a draw sends England and Czech through. A win would probably put either Scotland or Croatia through as best 3rd place.

I think

 

[Shay_K]

lots of booing from the crowd

 

[Shay_K]

The England midfield is not working that well.

 

[tomasjj]

I cannot uderstand how Sterling gets a start ahead of Rashford.

Or that he stays on when Foden goes off.

 

[Farkmaster]

Sterling has somehow positioned himself as though he's the man, meanwhile he is carried by his team, and has had a poor season and no output with england. Sterling is never going to pick up a shit team, he will never raise the play of others around him. He's a flat track bully and needs a really productive team to look good, and Gareth Southgate is a likeable gentleman with no business being in management at the level. I don't understand why you'd play technical players with painfully slow buildup and longballs.

Interesting to see if Tuchel gives him his chances next season.

 

[keniget]

I remember him being great against by in the cup. Looks a talent unfortunately.

No Chelsea manager has any real incentive to develop youngsters though.

Given known historical fact............................
She's a bit too old for Jimmy Saville and a bit too young for Harold Shipman.

Unbelievable Jeff. The profile is even worse.

I think

4 points has never not qualified from the group stage so Czech R. and England will qualify, though in what positions is up in the air. A draw or a defeat against the Czechs is best for England it seems (meaning they'd avoid the runners up in Group F : Portugal, France or Germany) as they'd qualify in 2nd or 3rd.

The match was crying out for Grealish, Sancho and Bellingham. England's midfield was invisible as a creative force and the control shown by Sterling, Foden and Kane was abysmal, wasting three good chances to get in on goal.
They had three chances to score in the first half (Kane - who VAR would have shown was onside, Stones and Mount) before disappearing completely in the second (until Grealish came on - you could see Scotland were shit scared of him). Robbo's foul in the penalty area would also have been a penalty in the PL - that would have gone to VAR and been given for a clear slight touch.

Shite match all round but Scotland are getting the plaudits but for what? Running about a lot? They were shite too - couldn't hit a barn door!

 

[Athens]

Grealish tried to pass the ball to a sub warming up along the line.

 

[mwake]

How bad is the covid situation in Hungary, the first time I've seen fully packed stadium. I know their political system is a bit ropey at the moment so dont know if that has anything to do with it as well?

 

[mwake]

Assist from Jota for Portugal Equaliser. So glad we got him, what I love about Jota is that he has such great awareness. Mane is awesome too but Jotas positional awareness is superior.

 

[dmishra]

Jota with a terrific assist there

 

[Athens]

Ronaldo taking the piss there.

 

[Fabio]

Germany are fucking weird. Is this the first time in a generation where they've not got a pure finisher?

Muller and Klose dragged them to success it seems

You don't need a finisher if you can get the other team to score for you.

 

[dmishra]

This is a good game

 

[King Binny]

Gosens have developed well at Atalanta. He cost less than €1m!

 

[Athens]

This is a good game

I know, did you see the pigeon?!

 

[rurikbird]

I know, did you see the pigeon?!

I know, I was hoping the ball doesn’t go down Germany’s right or the bird would be in trouble.

 

[Hansern]

Ruben Dias doesnt look so good when he has to defend, does he?
Not even close to our Big Virg.

How dare you! Best defender the world has ever seen.

 

[Shay_K]

Ronaldo was in offside position just before he scored the opening goal, when does the "he's coming back from an offside position" rule apply?

 

[Hansern]

When Jota recieves the ball its a «new» situation.

 

[dmishra]

Portugal getting thrashed

 

[redsar]

Gosens aka Destroyer 4-1

 

[Athens]

Portugal are getting spanked.
