[Football] Saturday Euro Games

[Frutos]

It's the Spain vs Sweden game all over again so far, lots of Spanish possession and corners etc, but no end product.

That was not a clear and obvious error. VAR cheats.

Business is business

 

[Washie]

VAR working perfectly there

Moder looks a bit lost in his position, seems to be more confident on the left.

Moder committed a sneaky foul there. He's got a bad side. Good lad.

I could see Poland scoring if they can win a few more corners.
Brighton's Jakub moder puts in a decent cross which will suit number 15 Glik to get his head on.

Good first half that.
I'm actually quite excited for the second half.

Klinsmann is top of my list of annoying Germans.

Evening everyone. Have I missed anything today?

Him and Koke are battling. My money is on our guy.

 

[Hugo Rune]

That goal all stated from Moder brilliance.

 

[Morvangull]

neat play by Moder and Poland equalise

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

Great goal.
Credit to Brighton's Jakub moder for starting that move.

 

[Morvangull]

Now Moder has given away a penalty according to VAR but it is missed

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Ridiculous decision

Justice for OUR man The Moder!

Justice prevails.

'A wonderful bit of skill from Moder' - excellent punditry from Danny Murphy, following Poland's goal, assisted by Brighton's Jakob Moder.

I think you are over analysing it. We haven't got world class players like Germany, France, Italy, Spain......Ronaldo was on the losing side tonight....yet he is world class and at 37 would walk into the England team. Who have we got that would replace any player in the teams mentioned? Kane? Sterling? I Think even our best players would only warm the bench atm. Things may change of course but while we have a manager who doesn't seem to play to our players strengths.....well we are miles off. Hope I am eating my words soon.....very soon.

Your post got me thinking about the phrase world class. I initially nodded my head in agreement about your assertion that Kane and Sterling are perhaps our only world class players. But what do we actually mean by "world class"? My instant definition was a player that would be signed by a Barca or a Bayern. However, the PL is universally recognised as the best league in the world. You need only hear the pundits during today's Germany game to learn that Havertz really struggled with the pace of the PL at first, stating that he found his first game against little ol' Brighton extremely difficult, whereas playing a team of comparable stature in the Bundesliga would have been a game he could have played in second or third gear. Does the fact that Trippier was signed by current La Liga champs Atletico make him world class? I'd say no.

Do we mean Champions League finalists? Well in that case, half our team are made up of them.

Like I say, I instinctively agree with your assertion. I don't see Italy and Germany as world class, but certainly France and Belgium. But the only thing that separates the likes of Pogba and Griezmann than our players is that they've won on the international stage. Hopefully ours can do that one day!
