EURO 2020 (2021 Edition)

Lol Tom you were thinking you'd get hammered by this sorry lot earlier this week! xxp

Only because we have Scott McTominay and Grant Hanley in the team, not because I think England are that good. I'll give the English media some credit for having had a more sensible and realistic approach in the last few tournaments they've played in but they've totally crashed and burned in this one, back to the bad days. Where was Kalvin Phillips, the world's best footballer?

LOL Ian Wright's face.

0-0 is just as likely a result

If you could pick some lottery numbers plz

Well Eng lucked their way to the SFs last WC it doesn't take a lot for illusion to set in. xxp = there wasn't a lot going on the basis of that half.

This 24 teams format takes something away from group stage matches, I much prefer 16 or 32.

i'm getting agitated enough for tonight's knights-habs game so this morning lull was good

England going thru a Euros without one 0-0 is just too rare.

"Number None at 10:53 18 Jun 21

christ, Southgate is such a nothing manager

he's like Diet Solskjaer"

hahaha, my ff euro team, coming into the tournament, is called dareth nowtgate, I got a load of schtick for it..

Callum McGregor was fucking great in that game btw.

Scotland really unlucky not to win that

great shift from the lads. boring as fuck game for the neutral im sure

Whoever is neutral in an England vs Scotland football game shouldn't have bothered int he first place imo

Yeah, thought Calmac was great. Armstrong looked good again when he came on as well, really composed. A lot to like there, but we could really do with an actual striker. Might be worth giving Nisbet the nod on Tuesday.

I think Adams has goals in him. Need to make more of set pieces too.

adams is a great addition to scotland, really mobile and canny

I like it and lolled, but it still doesn't adequately express what a worthless mediocrity he is!

Remind you of anyone?

I can't get fp'ed off two threads for repetition!

England are going to get a draw against CR then go out to Portugal or France in the r/o 16, aren't they?

They'll beat the Czechs, I don't think they'll play that badly again.

OTM

i was in the pub, there was a lot of chat, thought that was a decent game, i expect a lot of crazy hyperbole, love football tbh

It was interesting and had plenty of low-quality action but man this england team is built around all the wrong players imo

England are going to get a draw against CR then go out to Portugal or France in the r/o 16, aren't they?

They aren't, because a draw would mean England finishing second in the group on goal difference and playing the runner-up from Sweden/Slovakia/Spain/Poland

Ronaldo to score anytime against Germany and to have an assist @ 11/1 seems like a solid bet to me.

I haven't been arsed enough to watch any games the last few days but Portugal v Germany has sex appeal

Alexander Isak on the praise from @GaryLineker :

"I am not that aware of him. It’s an old player working in the studio?"

(Told Lineker was top scorer at the 1986 World Cup)

"I wasn’t born then but I have a little bit of knowledge about him."#euro2020

Gary who? yes exactly lol!

southgates been nobbled by MI5. 0-0 draw gamed out as the best result to save the union

I think some England fans are involved in this MI5 conspiracy as well. Loads of them are suggesting Bamford would be a better option than Kane!

I mean

Kane's playing like Albert Steptoe at the moment but Bamford's not even in the squad is he? What does Southgate have against all these wonderkids who are rated at 100 squillion quid like Sancho and Bellingham?

I loled during one of the warm-up friendlies when the crowd were singing Bamford's name throughout.

i've been pondering whether the issue is Kane or how Kane doesn't fit into the system and i feel like it's more the latter than the former

Bamford is, and always will be, a waste man

thinking about last night as some kind of disaster is classic England fan/pundit bullshit

I heard Stuart Pearce saying today that Kane and England play better against stronger teams, the problem was that Scotland just weren't good enough apparently.

what a fucking thick bellend. I bet he used to suffer permanent damage to his vocal cords in an effort to sing the national anthem LOUDER than Adams. He was a clueless flop of a manager as well, useless punditry.

full throat wankers!

I have hit the stage of maybe not getting enough sleep that I am up and watching France/Hungary but am more “Mm, yes, this” than anything else.

lol same. i was gonna sleep in but decided to watch this

bamford is great and youse are all idiots.

not a lot of form here, yet, just bodies colliding and tumbling

how has moving to Barcelona turned griezmann into a pub league player?

Rollin' and Tumblin'

how do you hit that into the keeper

that's the type of shot I woulda made at age 7, where I viewed the ball as a nuisance

double pivot is cowardise vs scotland. england fans/media have moved from beckham to rooney to kane to grealish as talismanic figure around who the countrys fate depends. the first 3 were established in the starting 11 at the time at least.

xxxxp

feel like France is just assuming they can sleepwalk to a victory

digne used to his club striker burying those

Hungary counter attack is funny because they eventually have no idea what to do w/ the ball and it falls apart

Black clad Hungarian fans all shouting and gesturing in unison is nagl.
