denmark fullback asleep

Shearer is an awful match pundit. Has he done this before?

 

[Markeh]

what a goal

 

[Markeh]

some belters in this tournament already

Get in Hjulmand!!!

Tiny arms was never reaching that.

 

[Modo]

Why the fuck is Southgate playing Trent as a DM?

 

[Hansern]

The tactics on display from Southgate are just awful

 

[Fabio]

The point of playing Trent in mid is to capitalise on quick turnovers; but they're not doing it.

So it's making him look shite and not giving a great impression to slot

That's the 100m + Vini bid from Madrid never arriving.

The entire English midfield isn’t giving a great impression to Slot

 

[Athens]

Could add the World cup in there as well. Heard the most random stat yesteday. Shaqiri the only player to score in the last 3 Euros and last 3 World cups.

Another random stat, Christian Eriksen is the only player on the pitch at the moment to have died during an earlier tournament.

 

[Bradley]

Southgate needs an intervention to save any chance they have of winning the tournament.

An injury to a centre back would maybe do it.

Have to move Walker to CB. TAA to RB and a lot of the issues are sorted.

Or having to move to 3 at the back.

He doesn't have the balls to change it without fate stepping in.

 

[Modo]

Bring on Carlton Palmer

 

[Shadey]

Utter shite so wanted southgate at scum he’d relegate them

 

[binomial]

Quality stuff England, that was ace. Same again against Slovenia.

Anyway time for a proper football game with a little something called technique.

Do managers ever get sacked in the middle of a tournament? Asking for a friend.

Give it to Rio!

 

[rurikbird]

Moyes is a much better manager.

 

[peekay]

I am a bit worried Southgate will fail his audition for the United job.

 

[The Nomad]

Bring on Carlton Palmer

Bit old these days

 

[MomoWASright]

Spain battering the Italians. Get your money on an Italy 1-0 smash and grab.

 

[Beamrider]

Am I the only one hearing "Yer ma" every time the young kid gets the ball?

Funnily enough that is also the name of a rather mediocre team in the SCM Xpert Eleven league.
A game an astute football brain like yourself might enjoy.

Watching Spain and Italy after watching England, it’s hard to believe it’s the same sport. Completely different planet in terms of quality of football.

Have to say Rodri is magnificent, the fucker.

 

[binomial]

Spain look good here it has to be said. Their wide players causing problems and Pedri is just a delight to watch.

Italy holding firm and trying to have their spells on the ball too.

 

[Athens]

This Spanish team looks the business. Or el businesso as they say in Spain.

 

[rurikbird]

This is the structure of dominant football at top level - have 2 pacy wingers who will progress the ball and dominate in 1 on 1 duels against their full-back and provide a goal threat and then construct the midfield build-up in a way that will get the ball to these wingers as often and quickly as possible. A decent #9 who can hold up the ball and a creative #10 is a cherry on top, but the 2 wingers and the #6 who spreads the ball to them is the spine of the team. This is what Spain does - their pattern of play is pretty much the same as Arsenal/City.
