West Ham Online

"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"

"You realise we won, right? Switzerland are a well organised and excellently coached team that nearly beat Germany and Italy, we aren’t entitled to beat them, but we did. Enjoy it ffs."

not really that interested in England unless there are a couple of Hammers in the team. On this subject why has Bowen not been played apart from coming on for a couple of cameos early on.

This is the first euros or world cup England campaign I have watched stone cold sober indoors and it's a bloody tough watch. I'm tempted to go out wednesday but don't want to jinx it.

"Christ, it's like mass suicide in here."

"I've NEVER called fucking TAA 'Trent', but I allowed myself to say it just the once when he scored that penalty. Just the once though, eh?"

The job of a Manager is to get the best performance from his team of players… So far Waistcoat has failed… He has completely under utilized Bellingham…Foden…Rice… 3 potential match winners… And completely over played Kane who is too slow and spends too much time in Midfield getting in the way of other better quicker players… Penalty shootout saved him today…poor first Swiss pen…

Very good penalties Might as well fast forward to the final and have the penalty shoot out between England v France You could see glimpses of what England could do with the beat players on the pitch

Also thought that Shaw made a difference when he came on. Much more balance than before. Hopefully he's fit enough to start in the semis.

Happy we’re through but what a horrible game to watch. Want to see the Dutch next. Nice goal by Saka.

That win was for Gary Bonzo Williams. He'd have loved to have been there tonight.

"Crap performance but like it or not the result vindicates Southgate, very much like West Ham and Moyes innit. Swiss no mugs but with the talent we have...... Likely the Netherlands await, so we'll see how he approaches that game. Enjoy today, because if we play like we did most of today it could be a very different story"

Good pens by England Surely surely Palmer has to start next time

"Lucky, lucky fucker Southgate. STFU Shearer"

"imagine how good they could play without that fucking clown in charge, unlucky swiss"

ha! dreadful pen. Advantage England!

ha! dreadful pen. Advantage England!

I’d prefer England to go out now than have to watch a sixth game of total crap. Come on you Swiss

Terrible performance. Very very lucky to still be in this game. No ambition at all from Gareth.

If you tried to buy both squads England would be several multiples of Switzerland Should never have come to this but Southgate won‚Äôt care if they get through The jammy cսnt

"Fucking hope not, awful bottler scouse cսnt."

don't want pen takers coming on cold (Noble vs Man U?)

"Superb stuff, defending the goal and not letting the fantastic Swiss come to many chances. With the players available a draw would be a superb result. Southgate must be given a 10 year deal and a OBE"

Vexed Perhaps he's a penalty taker...

Another baffling sub. What's the point of TAA with five mins to go?

"Southgate has failed to get a single note out of Bellingham or Foden, never mind a tune. The pair of them have done fuck all tonight. And Rice hasn’t been much better. Fuck off Shearer you geordie twat"
