2024 UEFA Men’s European Championship

[nayrbrey]

Wow

 

[67YAZ]

Holy hell!

 

[Bozo Texino]

Holy hell.

 

[OCST]

How do you not score on that?

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

So much open space in Dutch half

 

[rguilmar]

Wow

 

[ifmanis5]

I think England's name is on the trophy.

I've accepted it and am dealing with it. I don't care anymore.

If they get through I don't see them beating Spain.

 

[Ale Xander]

No mask for Kylian today. Maybe it will help his finishing.

Nope

 

[67YAZ]

The Dutch clearly prepared for a different kind of match. They need to adjust quickly.

 

[Kliq]

That was like an anti-finish from Foden.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

England doing a nice job finding pockets of space and just turning around and going at goal instead of dicking around.

 

[Ale Xander]

France sorely missing a creative mid. They’re going to have gamble and press harder to get into good positions.

Epic epic mistake to not have Griezmann there earlier

 

[Kliq]

As bad as England have looked in the tournament on offense despite all their talent---the Dutch have looked just as unconvincing on defense despite being absolutely loaded on that end of the pitch.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

So much open space in Dutch half

England moving through the Dutch mid field at will - looks like the Dutch have a structural problem.

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Tremendous Save There!


...by the crossbar?

 

[nayrbrey]

Close…

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Dumfries is all over the box score!

 

[ifmanis5]

Pickford a bit lucky there, he was beaten.

 

[rguilmar]

That was close

 

[67YAZ]

Dumfries got up. He's got to make up for his mistake.

 

[fletcherpost]

If they get through I don't see them beating Spain.

I think the mighty Zeus has decreed that England lift the trophy. I agree, Spain are a better side - but the mighty Zeus cares not for such trifles.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Pickford a bit lucky there, he was beaten.

Looked like he was wearing lead boots there.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Even now with woodwork

 

[Kliq]

Foden wears makeup, right?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Sooooo much space for England.

 

[rguilmar]

That was close too

 

[OCST]

England have had more threat in the last 15 minutes than in the whole rest of the tourney.

 

[Royal Reader]

I think England's name is on the trophy.

I've accepted it and am dealing with it. I don't care anymore.

Kindly fuck right off with your reverse jinxing, sir.

 

[rguilmar]

Sooooo much space for England.

A FDJ sized hole in the Dutch midfield.

 

[ifmanis5]

England in actual entertaining match shocker.

 

[DamageTrain]

This is by far the most entertaining game I've seen with England so far this tournament. What made them so loose today? (maybe just a lethargic Dutch defense?)

 

[rguilmar]

Interesting sub

 

[Kliq]

Jude Bellingham is a handsome guy.

 

[Nick Kaufman]

Fodden seems to have the face of someone who was arrested unjustly by the police.

 

[nayrbrey]

Interesting sub

Yeah trying to figure out the formation. Did they just forgo the striker?

 

[singaporesoxfan]

This is by far the most entertaining game I've seen with England so far this tournament. What made them so loose today? (maybe just a lethargic Dutch defense?)

People including myself have been criticising Southgate for the lineup but maybe it's just the tactics, turns out if you let this team play higher up they have the attacking capabilities to succeed

The flip side is the Dutch counters have been much scarier than previous games

 

[fletcherpost]

Kindly fuck right off with your reverse jinxing, sir.

I have dutifully and happily fucked off.

But I actually mean it. They're playing their best football now. Talent and luck and ye Gods - hard to beat.

But I still don't care. Over it.

Foden is a really classy player.

 

[Verryfunny2]

Yeah getting overrun on the midfield not ideal. Playing 4-4-2 now. Gakpo and Malen up front. So the foul on Malen after the shot on goal is no PK, thats why its a stupid penalty. Walker flying in is fine, Dumfries is not fine.

 

[singaporesoxfan]

Fodden seems to have the face of someone who was arrested unjustly by the police.

Second to only Gabriel Jesus for the Resting Worried Face title.

 

[Dollar]

This Foden guy is good.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

It's going to be fun talking about how Southgate is the worst manager to ever win the European Championship.

 

[Kliq]

Mainoo has been fantastic this half.

 

[Catcher Block]

Mainoo is seemingly everywhere.

 

[ifmanis5]

The Dutch manager's face is just a little to like Goodell for my taste.

 

[Verryfunny2]

No de Jong and Koopmeiners is looming large. Midfield is getting destroyed.

 

[singaporesoxfan]

Why is Kane out on the wing?

 

[fletcherpost]

Well I am Kurious Oranj.

Time for a single malt.

 

[Royal Reader]

It's going to be fun talking about how Southgate is the worst manager to ever win the European Championship.

I maintain Berti Vogts is worse, and just had the luck to have been a) a good player and b) German.

 

[Ale Xander]

Gonna be a bitterballen 2nd half, isn’t it?

 

[nayrbrey]

So back that VAR review.

 

[rguilmar]

Fun half. Mainoo has been very impressive. I am curious to see how both teams adjust. Koeman already made his first move.
