EURO 2020 (2021 Edition)

spain was able to break down italy more than any other team has. i don't know. is that an indication of how they'll perform gainst england? italy has pretty much dominated every single game before that. today's england played a different style, i feel? i missed a big part of the game, though.

I’m just excited for the inevitable Harry Maguire title-costing blunder.

they still haven't conceded a goal in open play, am amazed at just how solid the england defence has been

It's been some luck tbh. They have a huge error that just hasn't been punished. I hope it doesn't happen like that though even if the papers rip into whoever is responsible Southgate will have their back.

Pickford was absolutely shitting it yesterday. You could see it in his clearances

yeah I dread to think what he would have been like if it had gone to penalties

I heard Accrington Stanley are going make a bid for him when the window opens.

when Schmeichel makes a few great saves in a row no big deal is made, when that useless twat makes one half decent save it's proved all the doubters wrong.

Award game to Denmark, imo

that sucks and i hope they charge the dick that did it, but if it was distracting him, he should've told the ref at the time. or maybe he did?

My youngests question for tonight "why do footballers never have double barrelled names?"

Award game to Denmark, imo

this, if only to see the prick responsible get publicly ripped apart in the streets

too much?

Fine

eh, he saved the penalty anyway

I guess I just have a very lasers fair attitude to this

Though I suspect England would be more inclined to want to tear Uefa apart

Xpost

very high quality replies here

Very much a ‘tell me you don’t know any Black Britons without telling me you don’t know any Black Britons’ situation.

I do remember at one point the ref stopping the game to talk to a suited uefa official, maybe this was when it came to his attention

yeah that was in the back of my mind but I couldn't remember the timeline

pretty sure that was when the fix was called in

pretty that talk moment happened right at the start of extra time?

maybe it had happened then as well tho

I forgot Jack Grealish was in Scent of a Woman:

is it too much of a controp to say that all national anthems are bullshit and booing the opposition's anthem is acceptable sledging?

if the english try something like this on the italians, they'll make sure to have a hand of god-style win. they don't exactly turn the other cheek.

but the english will cry foul and continue their victim playing and their supporters will hate the italians because they won by "cheating," mistreating the english gentlemen, and all will be right in the world.

xpost not when you consider the motivation behind some nations booing other's anthems

Be rest assured that, from now on, God Save The Queen, will be getting sledged in stadiums the length and breadth of Europe.

xp is "your team sucks and your anthem sucks" always synonymous with toxic nationalism? and is that true regardless of the teams involved? because otherwise we're saying that its ok for some countries and not for others?
