UEFA EURO 2024 (15 Viewers)

[Great_Expectations]

Those wfrequent the off Topic stuff might know I’m doing a charity running challenge, as such I’m trying to be semi healthy so not had a beer so far this month. Chose tonight as a “treat” night so I’m a few beers down.

Really hope, and believe, it’s worth it. I get the TAA selection in a way but would prefer someone who’s going to play there when we (hopefully) get to the later rounds.

Lots of Southgate chat on here, and I get the accusations, but to be fair to him, he’s given me the most exciting England tournaments of my time. I hope this is the pinnacle.

Not sure if Nick is about, so…

Two foot Mitrovic early doors.

Proper tunnel that.

 

[Evo1883]

A very solid rendition of GSTK

 

[Tommo1993]

Proper tunnel that.

Changing rooms deep in a cave

 

[Evo1883]

OK I'm a bit nervous

I don’t get the obsession with TAA 60 yard diagonal passes. There’s more to midfield than precision long balls, especially when breaking teams down. His awareness has always been piss poor, and for a player constantly criticised for his 1 on 1s and tackling, CM is one of the most important positions for winning the ball and positional awareness.

If he played for a lower table prem team he’d be sat at home right now.

 

[TomRad85]

Foden at the tip.

 

[Evo1883]

A 433 makes more sense if they will sit in a 5

 

[TomRad85]

Why are so many of the pundits/commentators incapable of pronouncing the G in Bellingham.

Get in

 

[HadjiChippo]

Great run and header, surprisingly easy start

 

[ccfcchris]

What a player Bellingham is.

 

[Evo1883]

What a header

 

[Tommo1993]

Good

 

[Paul Anthony]

Been a good start, looked comfortable so far, not that Serbia have show much intent.

Bet Mitrovic is throwing himself to the ground in our penalty area first chance he gets.....

There isn’t a better English player currently that can sit next to Rice in that role, that’s a depth issue.

Great opening 20 by England , very critical of England generally but we look pretty good here and are absolutely bossing it , If I was watching this as a neutral I'd be saying " eh England look good "

 

[HadjiChippo]

TAA has the first touch of a baby elephant, that’s twice already he’s done that

 

[Evo1883]

Then we make a silly mistake like that

 

[Paul Anthony]

That's the big worry, our defence doesn't look all that strong, especially with mistakes like that in it.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Keep it cool, Jude. Don't fall for their games

 

[HadjiChippo]

Fantastic interception by TAA, should’ve been 2=0

 

[Evo1883]

Good counter unlucky

 

[Paul Anthony]

Should have had a go, Walker.

I would prefer the inexperience of Mainoo or Wharton in there, actual midfielders.

 

[SBAndy]

Walker just touch and shoot!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Trent is shite

 

[mark82]

Good counter unlucky

Those little shoves that aren't fouls are really fucking annoying. Essentially stopped a goal.

 

[mark82]

Walker just touch and shoot!

He was pushed slightly so lost balance.

 

[Evo1883]

Walker is 34

Rajković in goal for Serbia. Watched him play for Mallorca about twenty times this season. Whilst previously he's been a really good keeper, he's had a shocking season. Not sure why he's been picked either as he's normally 2 or 3 for Serbia.

We have to attack his goal as he will make a mistake without question, or just do his usual from this season and watch the ball go in without even attempting to dive.

Robins is on the phone to his agent as we speak.

Saka has the beating of the LB every time

 

[mark82]

How is that not a foul?
