Euro 2024
 

We dont seem to have a topic yet, so here it is.

Bit of a humiliating start for Scotland (5-1) - they didnt even score "their" goal.

Re: Euro 2024
 

It would have been good if they could have tackled and defended properly.

A very disappointing start by one of the home nations.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Scotland was really poor last night , Hope they do better next time ,

Re: Euro 2024
 

Germany minus 1 was 4/5 in handicap betting yesterday. Printing money.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Hungary not turning up against the Swiss currently.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Not hungry enough.

Re: Euro 2024
 

They have looked better in the 2nd half, should be level really.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Very boring one sided matches so far. We need a few sendings off and a streaker.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Wait until tomorrow night.;)

Re: Euro 2024
 

Albania score in the 23rd second against Italy

Re: Euro 2024
 

:D

Re: Euro 2024
 

The fastest goal in Euro history

Re: Euro 2024
 

To be fair no nil nils so far. VAR working well and quite quickly (take notes EPL).

Re: Euro 2024
 

Christen Eriksen the Danish player died and came back in the 2020 Euros, just scored in their opening game.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Lovely to see that.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Well, we won our first match (England) but not a great display, we're gonna have to do better.

Re: Euro 2024
 

We have seen it before with England, , the usual going in front, the typical complacency and sitting back, the very passive coach, very poor substitutions, the Gareth Southgate tactical inflexibility is there for all to see.

Only my view mind as l would love to see England win EURO 2024 but sadly l fear its all going to end in tears yet again.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Well there won't be tears here.
I view our chances of winning as small.
If it happens, I'll be elated, of not, well its as I expected.

Re: Euro 2024
 

So far I have seen every game.


The best so far is Türkiye v Georgia, as they said it was like a semi final game not the groups first game

Re: Euro 2024
 

England were woeful against Denmark. Lucky to get a draw.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Please tell me what Gareth Southgate achieved as a manager at club level..

Re: Euro 2024
 

They weren't very good were they? Southgate isn't the problem, the Premiership is. For English players this isn't the top level. For any other country, it is.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Another poor performance, another goal given away by stupid, sloppy, play.

Re: Euro 2024
 

I think Southgate is mainly the problem. The players he has at his disposal are the best in years but he constantly under achieves. The way England sat back after the goal was so negative and they paid the price.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Englands Golden generation, l think not....:td:

Re: Euro 2024
 

More chance of Jay Slater coming home.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Probably more than Lineker, Neville, Shearer et al. ;)

Re: Euro 2024
 

Well they're not the England manager, nor likely to be, so thats not really relevant.

England looked poor again for most of the match, finally looked a bit more lively near the end, when it was too late.

Re: Euro 2024
 

That maybe so but their analysis was pretty much spot on with the armchair punter.;)

Re: Euro 2024
 

One things for certain and what I think...

Southgate
Has
Interesting
Tactics

Re: Euro 2024
 

Lets laugh at Ronaldo and Portugal, gets a yellow for diving :D

Portuguese players are getting yellows, they are panicking

---------- Post added at 21:16 ---------- Previous post was at 21:12 ----------

2 nil

Re: Euro 2024
 

Portugal still won the group, the match was far more important to Georgia, and it showed.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Italy :LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:

Re: Euro 2024
 

Don’t think I’ve seen an Italian team so completely outplayed for a very long time.:shocked:

---------- Post added at 18:56 ---------- Previous post was at 18:36 ----------

Totally outplayed and outclassed. :shocked:

Re: Euro 2024
 

They stunk EURO 2024 out.:td:

Re: Euro 2024
 

Don’t fancy our chances if we scrape past Slovakia.:rolleyes:

Re: Euro 2024
 

Prob best is Slovakia put us out of our misery. It'll save a lot of stress all round, and the Prem boys can get back to their jolly hols.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Steady on I’ve watched one and a half England games.

Re: Euro 2024
 

l might go behind the sofa tomorrow afternoon and hope the potential nightmare episode passes.;)

Re: Euro 2024
 

They didnt even seem interested.
You would think with 10 minutes to go they would be throwing everything at getting back, but no, they already seemed to have given up.

Re: Euro 2024
 

The old term 'Surrender Monkeys' coming home to roost.;)

Re: Euro 2024
 

A bit of rain and the princesses have been taken off

Re: Euro 2024
 

Safety protocols because with lightning there is no other option but to take them off.

Re: Euro 2024
 

with all that metal in the structure, they will be safe

Re: Euro 2024
 

It was more than just "a bit of rain".

Re: Euro 2024
 

As a school kid in the early 80's we played in similar.

Re: Euro 2024
 

It was rather nasty looking tbh.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Sure, and we played cricket in the evening, no such thing as "bad light".
Not really sure what your point is TBH, you're comparing apples to oranges.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Watching Lancashire v Nottingham in a 4 day county match live on YouTube, might not bother switching over to the footy.:)

Re: Euro 2024
 

Well England are playing bollocks again so don't bother.....

Re: Euro 2024
 

Awful, awful, awful..:(

Re: Euro 2024
 

i want a refund for my time wasted watching this, imagine if you had paid all that money to go out there!

Re: Euro 2024
 

Dreadful. Time for new management.

---------- Post added at 19:00 ---------- Previous post was at 18:35 ----------

Well, I'll take the equalizer, 90+5. :D

Another 30 minutes, still not impressed, we need to vastly improve.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Wow!

Re: Euro 2024
 

Indeed. :) Lets hope we dont now switch to "sit back" mode.

---------- Post added at 19:38 ---------- Previous post was at 19:05 ----------

No idea how we managed to pull that off, terrible performance, but I'll take the result.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Four games and four woeful performances.

So far Southgate is a very lucky general..

Re: Euro 2024
 

I want Georgia to beat Spain

Re: Euro 2024
 

I thought Ronaldo was a good player?


He's crap

Re: Euro 2024
 

Professional cry baby

Re: Euro 2024
 

Yes, very much so.

However, I he did step up and take another in the shootout, a bonus point for that.

Re: Euro 2024
 

As a Scotsman I still think England are in with a chance. Only decent team I’ve seen so far are Spain. Pretty much all the usual big guns are struggling.

Re: Euro 2024
 

:D:D

Re: Euro 2024
 

It is unwatchable. This is not football. This is not entertainment.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Not sure what match you are referring to ?

This evenings match has been fine, Turkey took a 57 second lead, and could yet still stun Austria.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Really enjoyed this one. Austria had their chances.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Are you on the 'TogetherTV' channel by mistake?. If so I agree.

Re: Euro 2024
 

I did not watch today...

Re: Euro 2024
 

Once again we have to come from behind, with substitutions left late.

We looked marginally better this time, and in the end, five very well taken penalties.

Re: Euro 2024
 

A bit better but more will be required on Wednesday.

Re: Euro 2024
 

On a mini break and watch it in the sports room, then just as Switzerland take their penalty the entire town has a power cut, so out come the phones to find that we won.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Yesssssss. :cleader: :cleader:

Re: Euro 2024
 

Gareth is the 'Second Coming'. Surprised nobody has noticed his similarity to Jesus.

Re: Euro 2024
 

l am not sure l can cope with much more of this.:D:D:D

Re: Euro 2024
 

So now the dust has settled, fair or dodgy penalty?

Re: Euro 2024
 

Well one advantage of being a full-time carer is that I work from home so no risking a Drunk Driving charge on Monday morning.

Re: Euro 2024
 

You mean the one against Holland ?

It seemed Harsh, but I'm not complaining it was gievn.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Not a penalty for me but as you say, we’ll take it.:cool:

Re: Euro 2024
 

Very dodgy but belated revenge was was sweet nevertheless on a certain Ronald Koeman.;)

Re: Euro 2024
 

Oh well, what a shame, carry on

Re: Euro 2024
 

Football is coming home to Madrid. Justified result.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Disappointing, but I think the better team won in the end.

England dont seem to bother playing until they are a goal down.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Spain were indeed the better team and you could see that throughout the tournament.
We need some new fresh players and a new manager for next time.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Spain men win the Euros; Spain women win the World Cup; Carlos Alcaraz wins Wimbledon. They know something we don't know.

And there's nothing wrong with England player quality; it's coaching that's the problem imho.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Other way round its the players, not the coaches. Successive Eng managers have done no better. Southgate has best record since Alf Ramsey. The Premiership always comes before international football in this country, hence we under perform.

Re: Euro 2024
 

If only Brian Clough had been given a go *sigh*. Oh well, get Brendan Rogers, he knows Spain and he knows how to win.

Re: Euro 2024
 

best team of the tournament won it no question about it

Re: Euro 2024
 

Gareth Southgate should have heeded the warnings from Monty Python.."No one expects the Spanish wing position ".:D

Re: Euro 2024
 

Southgate has resigned today.

Re: Euro 2024
 

Its even more of a problem when it costs around £10,000 more for someone English to get your pro license and to get a UEFA A badge.
