Euro 2024
|
|
We seem to have an England v Bosnia thread but not an actual Euro 2024 thread so here it is
So, do we realistically think England can win it? On paper we obviously have a very talented squad but I just don't see us going all the way. For me it's "same old" when it comes to England. Breeze the group, favourable draw in last 16 and win then up against far superior opposition in the QFs and out. At best I can see us at the SF stage before being beaten again.
Winners for me:
France, Portugal, Spain
Dark horses:
Germany - even though it's a home tournament they've been in a consolidation period, could go close
Biggest flops:
Scotland - no goals scored
Top goalscorer:
Mbappe
I'm just hoping it's a decent tournament with plenty of decent games that's not ruined by VAR (are they using it?)
consolidation period but could go close

Would be a strange one playing Turkey in a Euro's SF if it pans out that way, but fancy the Dutch will beat them.
In the last world cup Southgate made changes to the starting line up in every game, so seems strange that he's not now, even more so with how shit we've played. It's pointless to keep saying drop Kane, zero chance of it happening, plus he's the captain and has netted twice now, which is more than most other forwards in the tournament, but if he sticks with Foden and Saka again it's going to be depressing, but suspect it will be more of the same with just Konsa coming in at CB and Trippier being passed fit.

Yeah, Southgate’s sell by date was a tournament or two back. I remember him taking Rice off against Italy in that final and the Itslians being both relieved and shocked as they thought he was our best player and was causing problems in midfield with surges forward.
Southgate is clueless and formulaic and probably planned before the game to take him off because he was a young player in a first major tournament. Like Moyes, no dynamic in game management, was not able to see what was happening in front of him.
Kane needs to be dropped, the left side needs a left sided player like Gordon, Foden needs to be tried as a number 10 or dropped and Bellingham a false 9 or played deeper . Mainoo looked our best creative player until Southgate took him off !! Ok Mainoo is a risk defensively as he is not that defensive but needs to play. The rest of the squad outside the 13 or 14 players he uses may as well go home. One or two might needed if we get a spate of injuries.
Im fully expecting exactly the same performance against the Swiss. He’s been lucky and will need individual brilliance to save him again. But the Swiss are decent and like Moyes his luck will run out.
Still a decent night and a few pints at the pub Saturday :-).

Great to watch…best so far…
Save of the tournament so far…
Either team could have won…
Arnautovic missed at least 3 cert finishes…
If only England could play with such energy and desire…
We have the talent…but Waistcoat is an uninspiring Plodding Luddite Manager…
Just as he was as a player…

Great game, Austria have been great to watch and the desire and passion of the Turks really is something else, shame there had to be a loser.

That’s what an international football game should be
Both teams giving absolutely everything and the ref letting them get on with it
Brilliant stuff
Turkey will probably run out of players & Austria couldn’t have done any more

Gotta say the Referee was brilliant in that, just told them all to get up and play on. And that's got to be one of the best saves i've ever seen at the end, world class.

Good game, unbelievable save by the Turkish keeper in last minute of time, similar to Bank's wonder save.

Very impressed by both sides. Turkey are so dangerous in attack and Austria’s midfield is a joy to behold. Makes for a great game.

Austria v Turkey turning out to be the best game so far after only 20 mins.
Both good sides who would beat England currently.

I always enjoy these tournaments because of the crowds, all the colour, atmosphere, games on every day, tv and radio punditry, seeing players you don't see that often etc, but I'm not sure there have been that many exciting games, individual performances and great goals? Admittedly I've not seen a whole load live due to time differences.

The quality of football has largely been shit, none of the "stars" have turned up yet, teams have qualified from the group stage in 3rd place without winning a game, less goals per game than most other Euros, and we've (England) absolutely stunk the place out.
Not much enjoyment there for me.
