[Football] Euros 2024 - Matchday 12 (Netherlands vs Austria, France vs Poland, England vs Slovenia & Denmark vs Serbia)

[Cheshire Cat]

This Austria team are dark horses to win these euros, they’re good

Be careful.

Remember who was the last Austrian to conquer Europe.

 

[Midget]

Still 28/1 right now

(I mean for the tournament)

 

[Justice]

Think we need to retain Steele for next season based on this performance by Bart!

Both aren’t good enough shot stoppers.

 

[The Colonel]

If the Group D results stay as they are for the next few minutes and we win our group tonight we'll be on the same side of the draw as Italy, Switzerland, Austria and probably Belgium and Turkey. France, Germany, Portugal and Spain all on the other side.

Steele certainly isn’t but yeah not great by Bart tonight

 

[Milano]

Austrian player should be booked here, injured, off the pitch, rolled back on.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Stays like this and we avoid France in semis.

England vs Austria would be “interesting”

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

He was, but does Lewandowski not stop in his run up at all?

I swear Lewandowski stopped when running up to the ball. That's not allowed.

I haven’t seen the penalty but players can stop/start their run up.

From iFab- (https://www.footballrules.com/offen...and start during,backheel it towards the goal)

• can stop and start during their run-up to the ball
• must not stop or feint (pretend to kick the ball) at the end of their run-up – they must kick it immediately

 

[Flounce]

Stays like this and we avoid France in semis.

Who are you confident we’d beat?

 

[Bozza]

Stays like this and we avoid France in semis.

The way both England and France have been playing, the semi-finals won't have to worry about either of them.

 

[Milano]

That would be prime Southgate, then we’ll lose 2-1 to Austria in the SF having gone 1-0 then sat back…….. may as well come home now and save everyone the trouble.

 

[Flounce]

So England, basically the pressure is off so who expects us to step up and look like potential winners after tonight’s game?

I feel my usual anger and face palming watching England coming up

Please prove me wrong and look like a candidate to go deep in the tournament.

 

[AZ Gull]

Did anyone watch the France v Poland match? The UEFA website has Moder playing in central midfield. Was that the case? How did he look?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Who are you confident we’d beat?

You would think the players might see this as another massive chance and lift themselves

Oo thank you, didn't know that

 

[Bakero]

If we win the group, yes

Yes

How do they decide which one we get?

 

[Hugo Rune]

So England, basically the pressure is off so who expects us to step up and look like potential winners after tonight’s game?

With the headless chicken starting in midfield, I suspect we’re in for a tough night.

I was really hoping for Gordon to come in and make our left side work. Instead, Rice will drop back between Guehi and Stones in a effort to stop them doing the Hollywood passes he wants to execute whilst HC will pick up a yellow and drop back into defensive midfield.

Foden, will creep inside and step in Bellingham and a very deep Kane’s feet and we’ll lose.

 

[Triggaaar]

Stays like this and we avoid France in semis.

By losing the round of 16 to Austria

 

[Triggaaar]

The way both England and France have been playing, the semi-finals won't have to worry about either of them.

I didn't see all of the France game, as I switch between matches, but when I was watching they looked like they were about to score any minute. It also wasn't their strongest starting 11. I'd like to avoid them.
