UEFA Euros 2024

Decent effort from Slovenia. 4-4-2 isn't dead.

 

[Spraggons Den]

Portugal's goalie looks in fine form the way he saved in the 1 on 1 near the end of ET and then the ease he made the penalty saves.

Decent effort from Slovenia. 4-4-2 isn't dead.

I refer back to my comment about Mike Bassett

Any system format can work if you have adaptable players.

And underperforming opponents

I'm bored so I'll post this - Rumours it is this interview which is behind Gordon not featuring in the last game:

If the manager picks him he'll be running at Schar, whom Kane did for pace when we beat Spurs 6-1. Imagine. You'll have to just imagine.

Watching Cristiano Ronaldo against Slovenia was like sitting through Good Will Hunting if Will wasn’t very good at maths. Or rather, watching a sequel, where 39-year-old Will used to be good at maths, but has forgotten how to be good at maths, so all that happens is that rather than focus on potentially more interesting characters that could lift the narrative, the cameras follow Will as he walks around, crying, with a sense of absurd entitlement.

Can't see owt wrong with it. If the selection committee are upset by that they're worse than I think they are.

 

[Weekender]

Shots of fans looking upset in the crowd as their team concede a goal. The fans then realise they're on the big screen and smile and wave. They should be ejected from the stadium.

Just once can someone give the finger, or similar.

I swear Danny Murphy keeps calling Gakpo, Gapko.

 

[Brian]

Cakpoo…

 

[Weekender]

I swear Danny Murphy keeps calling Gakpo, Gapko.

I'm told the correct pronunciation is Hakpo...and Hapko

Holland playing old School, if only they had a striker.

Like Harry’s Kaned?

Dutch strikers down the decades reads like a who's who of some of the best strikers of all time.

One of the best ever can’t be entitled to be entitled.
Stiff upper lip, boy, men don’t cry.

Decent start.

I'm told the correct pronunciation is Hakpo...and Hapko

it is a ‘h’ sound that comes from the back of the mouth/throat known as a voiced velar fricative.
