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

The media didn’t tee up his “who else?” arrogance, Faux. He also has a habit of leaving something on someone after play has stopped. Needs to grow up a bit.

I agree with pretty much all that Ronald, Bellingham is a bit of a dick. Not the best player in the world either, that would be Mbappe.

Perhaps the turgid unimaginative ‘journalists’ should stop asking banal shit like who writes your scripts?
He is a smart kid which is probably a disadvantage in dealing with the press
As I said he looks frustrated with what he is being asked to do and obviously other teams are trying to wind him up
Needs to calm down a bit to avoid red

Odegaard at Arsenal who is also Norway's captain and highly regarded in the role.
Rice coming in was not going to displace him.

How many dramatic late goals has he scored then?
I would say our top scorer was more likely and would have been shorter odds wouldn't you?

Bellingham would do well to lose this arrogance with the “who else?” bollocks and writing his own scripts. Fucking shit script if so. It’s very Ronaldo-esque and not at all endearing.
That over celebration at the end was pathetic, too. Should have held their hands up and got out of there for a debrief. The PR spin of the likes of Rice and Kane with “mentality” “never say die” just doesn’t wash with those who aren’t all gushy “it’s coming home” once every couple of years gimpy England fans. It was fucking Slovakia.
Lastly I’m sick to death of hearing performances aren’t important in tournament football from the players and pundits. That's exactly why it is important. Eventually the luck runs out as it should have yesterday.
I’d sack him mid tournament like Ivory Coast did. He has shown he either can’t learn or is too stubborn to do so.

Who said he was the best player in the world?
He just has that knack for the dramatic late goal as in a couple of El Classicos
Nice skill to have
If someone had said pre game that England would rescue the game with a 95th min equaliser who would you expect it to come from?

Sven-well I didn't say that did I you dramatic cunt.. I agree he's learning his game and only 21 and an excellent player, just far from being the best player in the world which was my point.

Re: Euro 2024

It s about time Rice was made captain
Kane and Walker no influence on those around them and can't drive the team forward like he can.
I thought he was a growing influence last night and unlucky to hit the post
We have all seen the job he can do at club level and he has the potential to step up again imo

How dare Jude of the Rovers not score a hat trick in every game at 20
One thing Ancelloti has realised that as he learns the game it is best to use his knack for a crucial goal in a more forward position

"The only player in that team that could have done that"
That's a massive overhyped statement right there.
.
We have some excellent players, you only have to see them for their clubs.
Of course he's an outstanding talent but he's scored 20 odd goals for Real Madrid..
Palmer and Bowen scored 20 goals one in an absolute basket case of a team one in a negative sit back anti football team.
He may get to be best player in the world but he's not there yet.
I've watched him both legs against City, both legs against Bayern and 4 games in this and he hasn't stood out in any of those games as the best player on the pitch, I'd he was the best in the world you'd expect him to do so.

With his long, expressionless face and lugubrious manner, Southgate appears to be some kind of Plantagenet AI. But his algorithms are dodgy - you can tell by the way he blinks that it’s all wrong.

People seem to forget that Bellingham is so young but he is the only player in that team that could have done that
He has that touch of magic that means he comes up with those things
Like many he looks frustrated and is in danger of a red at some point
You can understand his frustration, works under Carlo Ancelloti at Real & then turns up for England & it’s gormless Gareth from Croydon gibbering at him

He hasn't been my motm in any game, I thought Rice and Guehi were much better than him yesterday.
Isn't him getting motm when he hasn't been the definition of being overhyped?

Bookies somehow have Swiss 3/1 to win on Saturday. That looks like buying money against a team managed by a totally head-off coaching staff
