Euro 2024

[dai]

What a strike from the Danes!

[iot]

Expecting a response from the English second half, they've been way off it and lucky to be level. I'm amazed by how lethargic and how easy they've been to play around

[robin1864]

England have believed their own hype, this Danish team are passing around them for fun.

[dai]

YOu just know they'll sneak a win here though....they always do it.

[kracken88]

England still suffering from the Belgium disease,and undoubtedly talented group but it doesn't mean much if you can make an effective team with mental strength out of it,they have been rubbish,which is fine😁

[rushy]

England are so dull, just like their manager.

[kracken88]

The Denmark manager is a smart cookie isn't he, changed it against us and nullified us and had England in their pockets

[dai]

Still a bunch of divers as well.

I have no idea what the rugby World Cup is like and don’t care tbh but I’m confident I would prefer the fan experience in Germany to Qatar. Not sure why you want to argue so strongly about that.

If Qatar was what you look for in a football tournament, fair enough. You got what you wanted

I don’t ‘want’ anything. Maybe that’s why I was happy?

You’d manage to start an argument in an empty room you lad 😂

Nice win for Ukraine after the first game, Rebrov made four changes from that including the GK and it worked, shows decisive management.

[saturn9]

French SHOULD have to much for the Dutch tonight. And nice to see Kante thrive on the global stage again.

Match of the weekend could be the Portuguese v the Turks.

[CrackityJones]

Romania going at Belgium tomorrow should be fun

Forgot about that one. Bel to choke again?

[iantov]

I haven't seen all of the games but from what I have seen so far, the standard of play, tactics, excitement etc have been top-class. Still too many minimal contact fouls being given, advantage not being fully implemented, both of which annoys the shit out of me but overall, a fantastic feast of football so far.
I would have loved to have been a part of it of course even though I think we would have been outclassed for the most part.

[cynonvalley]

As expected, Poland not going anywhere in this tournament.

[hooky]

Surprise surprise

Poland failing again

So annoying that we failed to get past them - they have been in dreadful form for 2 years, have little in attack and showed little against us

Such a missed opportunity

[saturn9]

Think the Austrians could finish in second place. Dutch to flaky under pressure.

[cynonvalley]

Should be 4 or 5 already in this game

I'm glad because I can't stand them, for big strong players they go down too easy.

Our last match with them will stick in my mind and to a lessee extent the one before.

[surge]

Austria have been involved in two of my greatest football memories, so I am pleased they're having a good moment at this tournament and hope it continues.

We'd have lost every game in this group though. Comfortably

[CrackityJones]

Two defeats for Poland with France to come. Lovely stuff

Watching Poland at this tournament is like us being there, but spending £1000 less for the privilege.

Do you think we would have? had we qualified with a decent European manager.

[saturn9]

French look quite ordinary without Mbappe.Can't understand why he didn't start with Muani up front.

[dai]

That's one of the worst VAR decisions Ive seen. Yes, the dutch player is 'offside', but doesn't impede play, and the French keeper doesn't reach that in a million miles. Ridiculous.

[cynonvalley]

France should have scored 2 easy chances though. Rabiot what was he thinking there...

Yes should have stood. I’d be sick if Wales had that disallowed. The only logic I can dream up is that it was disallowed on field and it was not regarded as a clear and obvious error because they weren’t sure in VAR.

[surge]

Isn't the ball past the keeper before he has a chance to react? Sure the player was in the way of a possible dive but a legitimate dive would have missed it anyway, imo.

Deschamps would probably manage this Dutch squad to a final but Koeman a level below as a manager, and France bringing on Giroud to score suggests they don't have a strong enough squad.

[dai]

That was a dull watch though tbf. I find it interesting how two games where top opponents have faced each other - SPAvITA and NEDvFRA have resulted in quite a one sided dull affair.
