UEFA Euros 2024

[Alex N]

Then who are the two? Rice and Trent?

Yesterday, yeah.

I agree, it wasn’t great; and all tonight’s game, I’ve been thinking about this settled France midfield (with Tchouaméni and Camavinga only on the bench). Meanwhile, England are winging it, giving Trent a go…

Apart from winning & keeping a clean sheet? After the debacle against Iceland I’m pretty pleased with the start.

I'm losing track here, is Bellingham being criticised?

 

[Weekender]

Mbappe just broke his nose by the looks of it.

That's some hooter to break.

Objectively analysed.

 

[notaclue]

Lots of clumsy players in this match. Broken nose is the most memorable event of the night.

We have a great deal of talent. Shoehorning doesn't work.
Rice, Bellingham, Foden picks itself, IMO.
Eze on the left, Saka on the right, Kane up front.
Others are cover.
TTA is cover for Walker.

Bellingham?

Foden does not pick itself, as good as he is. Bellingham owns the centre, Saka owns the right and I'd rather have Gordon on the left.

You make my point - the centre - not the whole pitch.
I would absolutely have Bellingham and Rice in the centre, and Foden further forward.
I wouldn't go near Gordon instead of Eze, but that's just opinion.
Saka deserves to keep his place but I would have Palmer instead.

It's been a really high standard imo.
Enjoyed it.

Someone deranged in aisle 4.

Me too

Frustrating watch with the final ball lacking every time from Austria.

France defending like their lives depend on it, take note England.

Kante is always the best player on the pitch, whoever he plays with.

 

[Lee T]

Wow, what utter nonsense.

He’s Englands record goal scorer, one of the best players to ever wear the shirt. Nothing to do with John Barnes.

So was Lineker, Shearer, Rooney, England cling to such players like a limpet, even when it's time for a change. We win nothing.

 

[tricky1]

Yeah, Austria were an energetic unit but didn't really look like scoring. Don't think France even got into 2nd gear but still managed to win.

Apparently he just ran about a lot, lacked discipline, manager needs to take him in hand. The manager doesn’t know what he’s doing etc etc

Kane is at his peak. There are no better strikers in the squad, it’s quite simple really.

Watkins & Palmer will get their chance.

I'll say it again.....Christ.
