EURO 2024 Games

[got red on me]

I still can’t get over Ivan Toney’s mad penalty technique.
He’ll probably wear one of those Jedi sensory deprivation helmets next time.

Couldn’t bear to watch Trent’s penalty… wanted England to go out, but had he missed it would have been unbearable.

Same. Very happy for him.

 

[Squiggles]

Happy for Trent.

Genuinely happy for Saka, too. In fact I'm glad all black and mixed players nailed their pens. We all know what happens otherwise.

We look genuinely excellent at penalties. It's a strange feeling.

 

[rubans]

Well done Trent, up yours Southgate for trying to set him up. Our boy will not be be baited by Reform supporters at least on Twitter tomorrow.

 

[Markeh]

Reijnders fans unite 🤓

 

[Hansern]

Lets hope Southgate learned his lesson and will start with the right team in the semis.

Can almost guarantee that he wont though.

[tomasjj]

Is de jong injured? He is good.

Gakpo's been quite lively.....although that's the third time now he's ended up on the floor 😀

If Depay could not, like fuck up every attack the Dutch set up that'd be great.

 

[Frogfish]

Please miss.

You're a disgrace. Fucking wishing that shite on one of our players.

I'm fucking delighted you're having a miserable evening now.

He's in an England shirt, which means I really couldn't give 2 shits how they go out.

Not everything is about Trent Froggy.

don’t think he’s there at all is he? injured i think

Its more about Trent then England.

Virgil got a bit of a battle on his hands here against Yilmaz.

Half hour in and this has already been better than the 120mins of dross in the last.

 

[binomial]

Brilliant goal.

Can't say it hasn't been coming, they've look dangerous. Brilliant cross and header.

Overloaded the far post, any one of 3 could've nodded that in.

 

[Markeh]

sets this up nicely for the second half

 

[Athens]

Turkeyieiieeeeiiey are going to do a Greece.

It won't be the first time they've stolen something from the Greeks either

 

[rubans]

Could say Southgate loaded the players for Pen with his subs, but then would mean I would be giving him credit.

 

[Red Bird]

There was something eerily familiar about that goal— could have been Liverpool defending a set piece.

That said, what are the Dutch actually playing? One long ball and Turkey is collectively in on goal. Dutch number 14 is especially poor.

 

[binomial]

That Kadioglu looks like an interesting player, similar to Calafiori. A very versatile player, think he can play both fullback positions as well as in midfield.

Dutch born, spent his entire youth career in the Netherlands and even represented them at all youth levels.

 

[rurikbird]

Turkey play like their lives depend on it.

Koeman will need to make some serious rethinking at half-time. Currently the Dutch look out of ideas.

 

[Red Bird]

Why can’t Gakpo take his man on the outside for a change?

I wonder if teams could hire someone to do the exact same analysis on THEIR own penalty takers - if you know tbe methodology, you will probably arrive to the same conclusion. Akanji would not have taken the same penalty had he known that Pickford was definitely going to dive left.

They've already played better football than the Greeks.

England are doing a Greece.

They’re also close to being the home nation support wise. Amazing atmosphere

 

[Bradley]

Unbelievable.

I haven't been able to watch any so far die to dinner making bullshit

 

[Bradley]

I'll watch the 2nd half, so it'll be shite

 

[Markeh]

you’d think if you’re going to wear sweatbands and look like a plonker you’d not be absolute dog shite

 

[binomial]

Why can’t Gakpo take his man on the outside for a change?

Because the ball cannons off him for a goal kick.

Probably doesn't trust his pace/explosiveness......hardly a Leao/Kvarat type winger is he?
