Football UEFA Euro 2021- Tournament Discussion Thread

[Hermit]

Heh. Too easy
Didn't even need to kick a ball to qualify.

Looking at their group, it's kind of unbelievable that Spain might not even make it out of groups as a third place team if they don't score goals on Wednesday.

 

[Hermit]

At least Grealish finally gets a start
Wonder why Southgate will never play with two strikers Kane playing off a second striker could help him get the service he has been lacking in the past two games....

Hitting the woodwork three games in a row....

 

[goldb]

I need England to play this match with a little more enthusiasm and urgency. I can't complain too much because we're winning but still...

 

[Hermit]

Why does Southgate persist with Rashford so much? He's had two games as a sub and done nothing in both. Should have subbed on Sancho

England about to string 1-0 wins all the way to the final Now where have we seen that before

 

[Imperium]

Or Greece. Never seen anything that tops the pure anomaly that was that team.

Anyway, as everyone excepted of the future champions. Top of the group, smooth sailing as it comes. It's coming even closer.

Happy we are getting closer to the knockouts, I really dislike the expansion of the Euros. We can hopefully start seeing more quality games.

 

[Hermit]

Yeah, Morata is a cursed player.

 

[Evil3ye]

The drama this year in and around the tournament is unreal.

Just here to drop a rainbow.

 

[Organizized]

Even my rather non-sportsy heart was racing during the Swe-Pol game. My son was jumping on the sofa screaming. That was intense. Top of the group, we’ll take it!

 

[Riku]

If France wins with 4 goals or more, Finland proceeds.

 

[BluePegasus]

Not the crossbar asdfghjkl

I mean, Germany must have this…

 

[goldb]

What is wrong with France in this tournament?

 

[Hermit]

That was never a penalty. Soft challenge.

 

[goldb]

Definitely not a pen, whereas the Portugal one was a sure thing. I hate decisions like this and how even VAR didn't overturn it. What's the point of that thing? What's a defender supposed to do, not hold his own weight? There was really nothing in that.

Man I hope there's more action in the second half and France get some fluidity in their play.

 

[Imperium]

Did you see him drop by himself near the end of the half and look at the ref again? Ahh Mbappe, he obviously learnt a few things from the master.

Yeah and I think it was Benzema that was actually behind him.

 

[BluePegasus]

GER-HUN is an horrific affair. 1 - 2. Don’t think I want to watch football ever again.

 

[Hermit]

This has definitely been the best group to follow all tournament.
Renato has been immaculate all game.

 

[BluePegasus]

2 - 2
2 - 2
Crazy matches.

 

[Imperium]

I'm not sure who I want to play more. Germany because they are so shit or Portugal to overcome childhood trauma. Difficult choices.
