I haven't got a scooby do about the scoring tbh and just trust theatre of trees with it, but great comp.
Shame it's a KO and for most it will end as they leave after group stages, just a single league to final would've been nice, but hey ho, thems the rules.
Germany at last Euros were not good at all, in transition and we were at home.
Both Italy final and France WC were similar as tonight. Their quality meant we got punished
We score early v Italy, on top, Mancini makes tactical changes, its all Italy, its obvious goal is coming and nothing...
Of course I'm delighted we won, but we right now have the best squad in my lifetime and the biggest potential we've ever had to see England finally lift a trophy and its being mismanaged on the field by a lovely bloke, who just isnt a good tactical manager imho.
You still hope for best, but...
And all of those things were self evident, and can happen to anyone in any game..... the question is what to do about it and he genuinely doesn't have a clue what to do.
Serbia manager makes tactical changes, pushes wing backs higher, its working, we have 2 players, great at their clubs but...
BART VERBRUGGEN - 7
"Became the youngest goalkeeper to start a men's European Championship match for 60 years. Could not do anything about Buksa's glancing header from a corner
Verbruggen made smart saves from Kiwor and Zalewski, as well as an excellent stop from Karol Swiderski."
Bart...
It works for Trossard, Caicedo, MacAllister, Potter.
Don't get upset if East Worthing is just a stepping stone on route to Westminster!
Ability is more important.
Both our 2 lads have done our club and their countries proud.
How the hell was Steele picked over the Dutch number 1, excellent performance.
And Moder made a big difference when coming on, energetic, great range of passing, best I've seen him in a while. Very positive.
I'm shit too in this comp, though there is a lot of luck required.
Scores or results are the bit you can sort of predict. Minutes scored and yellow cards is a lottery.
