Anyone watching this lol.

Watched the England game, they played okay but could've done a lot better. As expected though after leading, they played the "pragmatic" Southgate way. Best attack in the tournament so in expecting a lot more from them.

[red till i die!!]

Watching bits of it and mostly it's the sides that our players are featuring in.

At least Szoboszlai's tournament looks to be at an end after today. I know they haven't got a team full of stars but Szob hasn't stood out at all. Looks anonymous most of the time just like he has been with us.

[woof woof !]

Watched bit's and pieces. England looked good for 30 minutes in the opening game but then reverted to type, i.e. almost managing to snatch defeat from a winning position !
Saw some of the Portugal game, couldn't help but notice how often Ronaldo was looking up at the big screens, obviously enjoying looking at himself !   
Honestly been more impressed with the Eastern European nations, at least they're getting stuck in and giving it a real go !

I feel bad for Trent. He’s played out of position to shoehorn him into the team and is now being blamed for “it not working” with him in the team.  Blame should actually be golden boy Harry Kane who’s so slow and cumbersome that he holds the team back. He mainly scores penalties and tap ins but the press paint him out to be world class. He’s a good prem player but certainly not world class.

Anthony Taylor and Stuart Attwell F.ucking things up as usual. By constantly trying to show they are clever they actually look like idiots. I haven’t quite figured out whether they are corrupt, on an ego trip or just idiots.

This England side is soo dreadful, overhyped as usual. Trent was labelled the man out of sync, nothing has changed even in this game.

Look awful to watch. No press, no intensity, no dynamism. We have been spoilt watching Liverpool and dynamic football. Other than maybe Bellingham and he is still young, England doesn’t have any world class players. I think Trent is a world class striker of the ball but he’ll get judged on his defensive work since he is a right back. The rest of the players are good PL players but certainly not world class, so they are playing true to form. The press seem to get confused between the PL and the national team, what makes the PL the best in the world are generally the foreign players.

No call for the boos and throwing beer, they are still representing England and just makes other countries laugh.

It just seems like they don't know what they are doing or meant to do. There is no cohesion, middle of the pitch Southgate is still experimenting. Getting to the final last time saved his a.s.s. They will lose once they face tougher opposition and Southgate will be finally sacked.

Game last night was soo boring that I had couple of naps in-between.

England really only made the final last time because they had a favorable draw, it’s the same this time…. All the strong teams bar Italy are on the other side. You’d have to say that Spain looks ominous.

Saved by a worldie, Southgate was seconds away from being sacked. This reminds me a bit of that movie "Mike Basset, England manager".
It would be hilarious if they continue to play shyte but manage to win the trophy.

Gakpo had another good game with a goal and an assist, had another one chalked off. I think he may be one of the leading scorers. Was man of the match.

In other news Nunez has scored something like 9 in 10 matches for Uruguay 

[redshade]

Good on Gakpo, let's hope it will propel him under Arne.

Lol yup just looked at Uruguay results, Darwin is banging a few in.

What you reckon mate about England vs Switzerland and who you think will win the tournament?

I feel Spain are favourite, potential final against Dutch.

Last 8

Spain vs Germany

Portugal vs France

England vs Switzerland

I think as you say Spain looks very strong and probably will have too much for Germany. I think England could get through this next round and with an easier draw could make the final, England V Holland could be a good match but Turkey with their support could upset that. I cannot see Portugal beating France with Ronaldo in the team, I predict more tears for Ronaldo   

England will be hoping for a bounce as they really didn’t have a good team chemistry, curious to see whether the last minute equalizer will change that.

[bunglemark2]

Jammy from England today. The Dutch were lucky against the Turks imo

[redshade]

Struggled against Switzerland, Slovakia, Slovenia. I can't see them beating Dutch or Spain. However, considering their luck they probably will go all the way now.

Drew against Swiss and many are up their a.r.s now. If a low block country won like this, equalising toward end etc... you would understand the praise but a team with a quality of England should be doing a lot better.
