By FortuneFaded Go To PostPortugal who threw away a two goal lead against Serbia?yeah the one that didnt win because the sideman had a doctors appointment he missed
By LabouredPatriot Go To PostI mean two arguably world class creative wide players should probably have a reasonably large effect yes.
Returning to my actual original point for a moment, the Euro is going fucking suck. Everyone will be extraordinarily tired or injured. No one can play swash-buckling high press football. I think the team that can play defensive possession football and is comparatively good at set pieces is the team that will win the Euro. I think England is one such team.
I know I’m being quite negative, but we’ve done an international tournament already without a forward-thinking structure and without a proper central midfield, and we got knocked out by a team that had players who knew how to start attacks from deeper. I really don’t think Greece it because everyone’s tired is the right play.
Surely that North Macedonia win must be one of the biggest upsets in decades...right? I'm sure it isn't by the FIFA rankings (there's "only" a 52 rank difference currently and Luxembourg were 56 spots below Ireland for instance), but wow, that is honestly unbelievable especially given the run Germany was on in qualifiers.
I can't get over the fact that the Spanish broadcast had Kosovo in lower case: ESP - kos
It's just so incredibly petty I'm laughing

By LabouredPatriot Go To PostYou wouldn't be laughing if you were being faced down by militant catalans.You jest but the fear of Fryslân seceding keeps me up at night.
Neither of them went into that 50-50 wanting the ball that much. You would get crucified on the marshes for that

Do you get the same level of renegade keeping down marshes?
By LabouredPatriot Go To PostDo you get the same level of renegade keeping down marshes?
You see it sometimes yeah. But I don’t think a marshes keeper wouldn’t mess about when going for that second loose ball, and would just “take everything” as they say (because you’re not getting sent off for a foul out there)

M8 wait until you come up against a few Cornish separatists giving you some half-hearted stern looks.
I'd forgotten that Low refuses to select Hummels and Muller for the German national side. Cough might be softened over the coming months.
Italy change the whole starting 11 and still come out with a 2 nil win. Mancini ties Lippi’s undefeated mark.
I don’t see how any team in Europe can beat us in the next few years. First real challenge for us might come at the World Cup, but I don’t know what Brazil are doing these days.

Manchester City are keen on bringing both Barcelona's Argentine forward Lionel Messi, 33, and Borussia Dortmund's 20-year-old Norwegian striker Erling Braut Haaland to Etihad Stadium in the summer. (Sun)
Both?
By LabouredPatriot Go To PostBelgium and France are the only teams I'd be really concerned about. But then they also play more openly than any of the teams we just played.
I think we're a better drilled and more cohesive team than the one that got to the WC SFs and we have better players now too. We were missing three £100m+ attackers tonight too.
Cant wait for Jonas Wind to knock you out

Pathetic week for spanish broadcasters and journalists.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostIt’s hard to know which player did the biggest fuck up today. Simon is a contenderToo bad it didn't change the outcome of the game :/
By Eternity Go To PostSeriously?It was rumoured that they would cut out the Kosovo anthem but I don't believe they ended up doing that. It's just ugh.

By Hixx Go To Postdenmark arent getting to the final
or even out of their group
unlucky
Denmark winning their second euros in our lifetime. Sensational right? When did England win a trophy last? Nothing stops this, not even the golden generation of Papangus from England.
