5 defenders, 2 defensive mids. That is a fucking grim XI when you look at the players he has at his disposal

There is not a lot of brilliant decision making, touch nor passing ability in that selection
Reacting better to a breaking ball seems to be the tactic

Even one of the 3 attackers often plays in defence for his club side

What odds Werner scores a brace?
― groovypanda, Tuesday, 29 June 2021 15:02 (five years ago)
I’d guess he thinks that if they can neutralise Gosens, through Walker / Tripper, they can neutralise Germany, but idk.

24/1 on a Werner brace, which looks pretty tempting tbh.

Last time the Swiss were in a QF, they were three up inside 20min, 3-5 down 12min later and eventually lost 5-7. So last night was just a warm-up really.
Also, we've had 1/2/3/4/6/8-goal games so far. Just 5 and 7 go. Forsberg hat-trick for the golden boot in a defeat. GER recover from 0-2, Uwe Seeler looping one over Pickford.

Too many Chelsea players in this German side for me to have much affection for them. Dropping Gnabry for Werner? Fuck that.
― Are Animated Dads Getting Hotter? (Tom D.), Tuesday, 29 June 2021 15:10 (five years ago)
would still expect Gnabry to do something at some point despite not starting (have written Kane off already)

I'm off to the pub, just want to make a preliminary comment on the England line up: lol

why do I have a feeling this is the type of match where someone scores a fluke goal 45 seconds in
― cancel culture club (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 29 June 2021 15:34 (five years ago)
england took the risk of playing harry kane into fitness, let's see where they got to?!? there are a few attacking combinatons they could have tried out before this game...gonna back saka as I favoured him over grealish, to play well, gnabry not been in some of these games at all and if they don't play to his strengths, why have him in the team

i was reading about the one-sided rivalry england has with germany. it sounds out of this world but hilarious

Should be a red imo.

Shouldnt be a foul imo
― Eschew things thirty two times before swallowing them (darraghmac), Tuesday, 29 June 2021 16:09 (five years ago)
i think that should be a red, as well
― Punster McPunisher, Tuesday, 29 June 2021 16:10 (five years ago)
To be clear if it was a foul i agree its a red
