Is there going to be a thread for the Euro 2020 qualification? I look forward to Denmark playing against Ireland two more times. Four times in a year wasn't really enough.

journalists once more giving it the "this is totally a real competition that is more exciting than meaningless friendlies", PR budget for this must've been massive

imagining someone watching having been tricked into thinking this is an actively competitive match and going spare about how inept England are

I'm mostly surprised about the amounts of Dutch and esp English fans that went to Portugal for this

this England midfield is chronic

Took a while but it's a proper pace now

oh dear, ya boy stones
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 6 June 2019 20:55 (four years ago) link
not that it matters as it's just a friendly but Stones with one of the absolute worst performances you'll ever see for England

4 goals, 4 horrible mistakes. I wonder what the level will be in the D finals (if those will ever take place)

Norway 2-1 up with a superb Haaland goal after...six minutes.

Maguire should probably have been off for a straight red after five minutes. Two bizarre, completely unnecessary tackles.
Eran Zahavi scored a twenty-minute hat trick for Israel. I’m looking forward to seeing what he does for PSV, he has been one of the most ludicrously prolific strikers in the world for years.

Nations League, wonderful tournament.
― michaellambert, Wednesday, 14 October 2020 20:58 (three years ago) link
I think Harry Maguire might be even less likeable than John Terry. Easy to write him off as just a dumb slab head cunt but I sense a sort of spiteful vindictiveness in there. In another life the lads from Mindhunter would be visiting him in prison talking about all the animals he used to drown.
― crisp, Wednesday, 14 October 2020 21:00 (three years ago) link
I almost felt a bit sorry for the cunt as he shambled off, Martin Tyler going on about this being “a terrible time in his life” or whatever. It’s all relative of course but he certainly looks like he’s got some stuff going on atm and could do with a holiday.
― Windsor Davies, Wednesday, 14 October 2020 21:05 (three years ago) link
are we just going to ignore the fact that a charlton player scored a winning goal for a home nation
― Chip-vill-A (imago), Wednesday, 14 October 2020 21:17 (three years ago) link
I still don't really understand this thing (I speak as a Scottish person). For most countries, isn't it the case that while it would be nice to win your group, the minute that stops looking likely you'd be better off getting relegated, so then you should try to lose your games?

Same! And it wasn't even our most prolific signing, because we signed effing Mario Götze this window o_O Zahavi has made impact on arrival, by the looks of it, he's quite the personality and scored in his first match. I never knew about him tbf.

Nobody understands this tournament afaik, it's essentially just a more structured set of friendlies?

this should be fun

crazy good attempts from both teams already

Filthy from Lukaku
Lloris beaten near post twice but not sure he had much chance either

ha, ya, man. i was at lunch, but saw it. i feel like france's offensive line tries to be too fancy
― Punster McPunisher, Thursday, 7 October 2021 20:05 (two years ago) link
France deserved that. Benzema has been so good this season.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 7 October 2021 20:05 (two years ago) link
and just as i say that, france put one in
Pen for me

France come out serious this half, pretty irresistible

i think so. clumsy tbh

Keeping an eye on the Euro Under 21 Qualifying score between Portugal and Liechtenstein, 9-0 at half time.

― fix up luke shawp (darraghmac), Thursday, 7 October 2021 20:18 (two years ago) link
Given that there are only 15 people under 21 in Liechtenstein...

Theyll fade away in the second half so after the subs you're saying
