Euro 2020 - Live Match Discussion And General Chat

A draw gets Spain through unless Poland beat Sweden

 

It gets them through nonetheless because Finland has - 2 goal difference and Ukraine has - 1 goal difference, whereas Spain would have 0 goal difference meaning they are already better than 2 third placed teams.

Edit: Sorry forgot Slovakia had 3 points. You are right.

 

That's our best route to success.

 

Shouldn't we use this game to give Kane a seemingly much needed rest?

Also, do we even want to win this? Surely drawing or losing would be preferable as we'd likely face an easier team.

 

Momentum! We can afford to lose this, but we need to start playing well and this is our last get-out-of-jail-free card.

 

Anyone able to explain why Sancho isnt getting a look in? Goals and assists? No thanks.

 

First time an England player (Saka) runs past an opponent and between the Czech lines we score a goal a few passes later.

I expect Southgate will sub Saka off shortly.

 

He's been crap whenever I've seen him for England.

 

Nah. Southgate knows what he's doing.

 

The wee minnows are losing to Croatia.

 

Every time the camera switches to Southgate mindlessly clapping, I laugh at the whole notion that he's England manager.

 

It’s proper Ivic-ball from England this. Awful handbrake on dross.

 

Has been for 5 years. Where u bin?

 

Audible groan from the crowd as England turn a corner into a safe ball for Pickford within a couple of passes.

 

Saka best player on the pitch so far.

 

Grealish / Sako looking better than Foden and Mount

 

You must not be listening to the commentator who has convinced me that England are playing with the handbrake off. Playing with spark and freedom. He literally said so. He's an expert of football. What's your qualification?

 

Any idea what our add ons are if he plays?

 

Cycling proficiency. 1997.

 

Kane is slower than Deeney.

 

Is he injured or something? So far in the tournament he's looked like Harry Kane's slower & crapper twin brother

 

Is he always slow, or is this a new thing? I'm trying to see how he was ever a 100m rated player.

 

He's stressed. Wants to leave Tottenham for mega bucks and its weighing him down like a 2 tonne medallion.

 

Bit risky bringing Henderson on. He's hardly played.

 

Dixon’s still drivelling on about how much creativity and movement there is up front from England. What game is he watching?

 

I know. Hilarious innit. Turned us into a long ball team too lol

 

Contractual obligations.

 

England are the worst side to watch in this tournament. Hideous spectacle.

 

It’s like they go into some sort of dream sequence mode and just start talking about the game they wish it was. England have barely strung 3 offensive passes together since they scored, and nearly always receive the ball with their backs to goal no matter where they are on the pitch, but if you’d just switched the game on you wouldn’t know it.

 

Modric with an absolute stunner. Pure class.

 

Peach of a goal by Modric for Croatia just now.
