[Football] Euros 2024 - Matchday 1

[Whitechapel]

Draw. Germany usually come out of the traps sluggishly in major competitions and get progressively stronger as the competition progresses. So, to sum up, it's got nil-all written all over it

Poor Billy having to come into this shitshow.

 

[hart's shirt]

Apparently 4 points will get Scotland out of the group.

But to save time, another heavy defeat will get them out of the tournament.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Can’t believe he already has 30 caps for Germany, he’s racked those up quick.

Yeah I know!

Although watching Foden play for England makes me glad for Musiala he doesn’t have to play for Southgate!

 

[KZNSeagull]

5

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Looking forward to seeing Gross’s passing stats after the game!

5!

 

[A1X]

And that matches the record…

EDIT - If he wasn’t a yard offside

 

[oldboyroy]

And it's 5 oops its back to 4

 

[Hamilton]

Has Billy touched it yet?

 

[jcdenton08]

Has Gilmour touched the ball?

 

[A1X]

I like this automated offside, quick decision get on with it

 

[WhingForPresident]

What an embarrassment this has been for them.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Semi-automated VAR rules it offside almost immediately. Still 4-0

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Boooo!!

But semi automated offsides so much better.

What is the point of this football laws expert on ITV?!

 

[Algernon]

But to save time, another heavy defeat will get them out of the tournament.

And send them homeward.
To think again.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Well that's better VAR.

 

[dstanman]

No messing around in technology calling that off-side would still be waiting in the Premier League

 

[Hugo Rune]

Everything going through Groß in the German build up.

World f***ing class. Ripping the soul out of Braveheart.

 

[Eeyore]

I thought you were comparing England and Scotland fans attending games not ‘fans’ attending political marches ?

I’m going to leave it here.

Maybe read up a bit more about countries fans attending matches before labelling England fans as bald headed gammons

As I tried to explain to you, I agree that the match experience itself is different now and the fans attending much different. I wasn't suggesting that most England fans attending matches are gammons.

Unfortunately I didn't explain the image that was in my mind correctly, the football flags on right wing marches, the London madness in 2021. I wouldn't go watch a final in the centre of town if England were in it. I don't believe that things are better in that respect. We have to differ there

Anyway, apologies to others for the sideshow on this thread and my starting it with a poorly explained and somewhat irrelevant post.

Let’s hope Groß has done enough to work his way in to the starting XI.

It took him 15 minutes to complete more passes than every Scot had managed all game.
