Euro 2024 - The European Football Championship

Spain are going to murder England in the final.

I really can't see any other outcome than Spain winning the Euros. They can stumble of course, but look so solid, with a few players capable of pulling off something extraordinary when needed too. They're also very competent in the dark arts.

 

[FolkestoneSpur]

do they really think he knew anything about it?

Exactly and it wasn't his decision not to award the penalty. Strange reason to pick on a player.

Gotto get there first.

 

[Baleforce]

Gotto get there first.

I think it will be Englands easiest game of the tournament.

 

[Rorschach]

The dude with the ambulance sound in the stands needs to shut the hell up.

We muted the TV twice to make sure it wasn't outside the house

But no different to what Portugal did in 2016 on their way to winning it, drew 3 group games, won 1-0, won on penalties to get to the semi-final. Does it matter if it gets you through?

I think it does, I want to see exciting football not tactical deadlock, only one team can be a winner so that makes the rest losers, if gettting to the next game is all that matters Sothgate is doing a great job. I don't think you can question his success but his style of play is too negative for me and I get no pleasure watching even when we do progress to the next round.

Don't disagree but does anyone remember how crap Portugal played in most of those games or just that they won it?

Watching the first semi and you have Jenas and everyone purring over it as if it is an instant classic and I'm thinking how far football as entertainment has fallen, this game is decent but nothing amazing (goals apart) but it looks so good because of the constant dross served up and eulogised to sell a product (that is decline). Baseline syndrome where you accept that this is as good as it ever was because people forget/pundits never knew what it was like 30 years ago

 

[Daisuk]

Giroud is still a clam.

 

[Baleforce]

should have started Griezmann, they are very one dimensional without him

 

[Rorschach]

Giroud is still a clam.

That goes without saying

 

[Robbo]

Giroud is still a clam.

The French dude basically ran into his shoulder though. Or so it looked like.

 

[Mcfee]

Poor enough 2nd half from Spain, they might regret it yet.

Yeah, I just wanted to have it said anyway.

It's all about selling the product.

love that from Yamal, as good as his goal

That's what impresses me most about him, how he makes so many good decisions. Including taking a yellow to stop a counter. He seems very mature and very clever (in a footballing sense) for his age, not just a technical prodigy.

and tried to time waste going off the long way when subbed as well

I love him

Spain have deserved to get to the finals.

Played some good football in every game I have seen them in

 

[Seedy Ron]

Well done Spain, most entertaining team in the competition deservedly in the final
