Euro 2024

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.

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.

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

[TitoFan]

At least one of those should've been up on the top half.

All about where you finish in the group. France finishing second added to that weighting

Ok thanks for that explanation. So basically if England beats Slovakia and gets by Switzerland... the path to the Final should be a bit simpler than for the teams in the other half of the bracket. You guys should be optimistic.
