[Football] Euros 2024 - Matchday 3

[maltaseagull]

This could go horribly wrong. We are awful 2nd half.

 

[oldboyroy]

We've been shite apart from opening 30

 

[Weststander]

TV volume reduced. Mowbray shouting with every botched Serbia attack.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Has anyone ever sacked a manager mid tournament? This is a f***ing joke of a performance. Exactly the same as the Euro 2020 final, just let them dominate and hope we don't score. Southgate is a f***ing cretin.

 

[albionalba]

It's all going to go tits up shortly.

She is bang on with this

 

[Grizz]

This second half has been poor from England. I'm all for soaking up the first 10 mins of pressure and let Serbia burn themselves out, but this is poor now, should be in control of this.

 

[dwayne]

Objectively, that'd mean cruising this game and getting through to at least the semis.

I'd take that.

Out to Italy in the quarters. Zzzzz

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Objectively, that'd mean cruising this game and getting through to at least the semis.

I'd take that.

Or scoring and sitting back....

Signs were there in last World Cup in the group Stage as to what would happen as soon as we met a good side, same thing here.

Didn't Spain do that when Lopetegui was announced as Madrid manager?

Not sure it did them any good.

 

[Gabbafella]

When did socks become so restrictive that the players now want to wear fishnets?

 

[Somethingdean]

I don't like this. We need a second now.

 

[oldboyroy]

We'll win this but don't fancy our chances against the likes of Germany France and even Spain

It's just the classic "We'll be found out as soon as we meet a good team",
"Oh, we beat them? They must have been shit then."

I'll let it play out before I judge anybody too harshly.

Won't get Germany if we win group. Likely Italy quarters. France semi. Out in quarters.most likely.

 

[WATFORD zero]

It seems that England have managed to put out 10 players, all of whom are incapable of putting in the effort or sprinting in order to create a high (or medium) press. Now I do love a bit of traditionalism but it's almost as if the last 10 years of football tactics development never happened

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Sorry, my mistake, we got found out by a very average Italian side in a home advantage final, it's not just good teams.

 

[Swegulls]

Sooo sloooow! Rice sideways, back …

 

[WhingForPresident]

Why does Foden go missing as soon as he puts on an England shirt? Unbelievable it's the same player that has torn up the PL this season.

There's just been too many examples of this happening though for it not to be a coincidence. Our best hope with Southgate is getting lucky with penalties in the later stages.

It’s odd that over night numerous players felt their socks were too tight and no one has thought of wearing a bigger size. This also flies in the face of science which suggests compression in socks is a good thing.
