Euro 2024

Two games in Group C. Four teams... 180 combined minutes... zero goals. Damn, that was gut-wrenching.

Gonna watch Argentina-Chile now, and kind of hoping for at least one goal.

I watched almost all of the England game and what a great game to pick to watch after all these years. So many players who looked worn out and/or scared to death to be playing. Like watching England teams of old. Southgate might have well as made wholesale changes at half time and given people like Cole a proper look. They might have been even worse and we lost the game but so what, we're going to get beat by the first decent team we play anyway. Might as well get it over with. There's been more action in five minutes of tonight's Yankees Mets game than in England's three games.



At least we've got the Scotch to laugh at. Typical Jocks, get thumped in the first game, do a little better and give the fans hope then fuck it up in the final game. I'm old enought to remember watching them get thumped three one by Peru.



Antonio Rudiger, the German defender who scored an own goal in their first game is now Scotland's joint top scorer in tournament football in the last forty two years. The squad is the oldest at these championships too and they have nobody coming through. Will probably be a quarter of a century before they manage to qualify for anything again.

Watched the first half of Argentina-Chile and although it's 0-0... there's been a hell of a lot of good action. A lot different than the two games in Group C of the EuroCup today.

Going to bed and will record the second half.

Painful again. We've gone backwards.

You know part of me just wants us knocked out of this tournament to end the suffering.

Could win ugly I suppose like Portugal in 2016 and Greece in 04....

[Master]

Players are not pressing high enough, lack conviction, quality play is minimal, too many basic errors, relying on set pieces, can not keep the ball.

This takes me back to the bad old days when we did not have Southgate. He has raised our expectations and they are not delivering.

Wonder who we play Sunday?

[Mark TKO]

I've stopped trying to work out who we play next. Too many permutations.

Need to get rid of third place going through. Seeing too much tactical and negative play.

In my view you don't deserve to get through with three points.

Watched the second half this morning. Argentina 1-0 over Chile. High quality contest. Trying to catch as many Cup games on both continents as I can.

[Primo Carnera]

So Football died today. Can we close this thread now please? Worst Italy side I have ever seen in my life. I’m almost glad they knocked out in case they would have to play England next. It’s bad enough being embarrassed by Switzerland, but I couldn’t cope if that happened against England.

[Mark TKO]

You'd have probably beaten us.

If we don't improve tomorrow we'll be looking at a penalty shootout so we know how we do in those.

Could be a real surprise winner of this tournament.

[TitoFan]

Is it just me? Or does the Round of 16 bracket seem a bit bottom heavy? Germany, Spain, France, Portugal.
