[Football] Euros 2024 - Quarter Finals (England vs Switzerland, Netherlands vs Turkey)

Are you Swiss?

I do have an unhealthy addiction to Toblerone

 

[Machiavelli]

That would be the dream but can't see GS going for that. Sounds like it's Trippier instead of Trent too which is as depressing as it is unsurprising.

I wouldn't go as far as depressing. You said in your previous post that Switzerland attack down the left, and this is where most of their goals have come from. It's understandable why he's gone for more defensive stability there. Trippier is also excellent on the ball and puts in some wonderful crosses. Playing as LB nullified those two qualities.
In terms of today's formation, I suspect that Saka will play higher up the pitch than Trippier, but we'll see. At least with this formation there's proper width on the left, which has been lacking thus far.

Hope the Swiss stuff us and that complete thunder cockwomble Southgate is gone by 7:30 this evening!!

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Rio is saying it as it is, perfect example of why Southgate is shite

 

[TomandJerry]

God save the King!

 

[Swegulls]

I said before the tournament that you will win it, time to step up and deliver!

How can Mainoo be used to the big occasion if he plays for Man United?

 

[US Seagull]

Swiss looked dangerous on the break there.

 

[jcdenton08]

Very quiet here in Switzerland ahead of tonight’s England game. Have the fans given up?

Edit: just going to collect my tickets

 

[TomandJerry]

Swiss looking decent in attack

 

[BBassic]

Feeling oddly optimistic.

It's nice.

This optimism is fading.

 

[Weststander]

Gone for zero volume, Shearer was annoying.

 

[Mustafa II]

9 minutes in and it's already clear how this game is going to go.

Southgate is so clueless. Our best chance of getting anything here is getting a bit lucky and/or a moment of individual brilliance again.

 

[US Seagull]

So far, Switzerland look more likely to score

 

[Gabbiano]

This change to WBs is having a huge impact. More open up front for us but so much space on the wings for the Swiss attacks.

 

[A1X]

A moment ago there were 6 England players all within about 10 yards of each other 30 yards out and one in the box, WTF are they all doing there?

 

[HangletonGull]

Just no press out of possession

 

[US Seagull]

Don't think we've even gotten the ball into their box yet.
