Euro 2024

[Memphis]

I'll take a mediocre performance first game up so long as there's three points on the board. We don't generally win openers.

Bellingham good. Saka, good, Rice, good. Guehi, good. Pickford, again didn't let England down.

Trent was sloppy throughout. Gave the ball away too easily. Kane barely had a kick. Foden looked like he was coming alive a bit in the second half, but then we became passive. I don't understand how he can't impose himself on the game more. He was free to roam where he wanted. He doesn't have to set the World alight with every pass. But demand the ball, progress the play. He's a good footballer, World class. If he gets on the ball 10 times, 8/9 times he's going to do something good. But he's largely anonymous. Really disappointed.

All that said. I'm not sure if I'd feel more or less comfortable if we looked a million dollars and put them to the sword first game up.

[Mark TKO]

Three points on the board and a clean sheet. I'll take it.

We can build on this but foden a concern. Maybe Gordon will get a shot on the left next game.

Kane had one good chance and should have scored but he'll come good I'm sure.

Portugal won the euros with six draws and one win (won 3 games on penalties and extra time goals)

France got by Austria, but got brutalized in the process. Mbappe may have suffered a broken nose, and Griezmann got slammed against the boards. Curiously it was by the guy who allowed the OG to lose the game for Austria.
France looked like a walking M.A.S.H. unit by the end of the game.

[Memphis]

Not gonna lie. Loving Germany nicking the Bulls player intro.

Croatia Albania was a cracking game.

[TitoFan]

Scotland not playing patsy against the Swiss like they did against Germany.

Beautiful goal by Shaqiri.

Snow White must be proud.

Still anyone's game.

[Memphis]

I've said it before. Flower of Scotland is one of very few Anthems I actually like. They win that one.I hope they can get a result here.

[Memphis]

Well that was utter dogshite wasn't it. Saka again probably our best player? Foden a couple of moments. Bellingham pretty redundant. Trent again a liability. It was as poor a game of football from us as I've ever seen. It's got to be Bellingham at 8 and Foden at 10. I'm not sure that one switch fixes our problems but it's got to be done. Who has Cole Palmer upset by the way?
