2024 UEFA Men’s European Championship

[Boston Brawler]

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

I can’t unsee this now.

 

[Vinho Tinto]

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

C) Still had Sammer before his knee problems ended his career.

 

[Verryfunny2]

Dont forget the Greek were European Champions once in 2004. The Danes winning in 92 with the infamous vacation team. More suprises there than the world cup i reckon.

Falls under B), but aye.

 

[fletcherpost]

Wow even Gary Neville saying the penalty decision is an absolute disgrace. Wonder what Roy Keane has to say?

 

[Nick Kaufman]

I can’t unsee this now.

Koeman has a brother.

Easier for upsets to happen in a 16 team and an 8 team format. England are better than 2004 Greece and 1992 Denmark though.

 

[teddykgb]

The penalty certainly was a farce. Sometimes the worst people have a good opinion

 

[Verryfunny2]

But one half to go, time for the dutch to rise up and crush the British.

 

[fletcherpost]

One thing about England today, they're not moving it sideways sideways. Much more progressive according to my eyes. Seem to have the running of the midfield too.

I’ve been trying to forget that Greece performance for 20 years because it was so defensive. They scored 7 goals and conceded only 4. As of right now, England have 6 goals for and 4 against having played 45 minutes less than that Greek team, so there’s that.

 

[Bozo Texino]

No idea. But I expect maybe 35% of it to be profanity.

 

[singaporesoxfan]

Shaw on for Trippier, good change

 

[rguilmar]

Weghorst on as well

 

[Verryfunny2]

2 subs allready. Cupboard looms empty. Zirkzee and Brobbey for attackers.

 

[rguilmar]

Shaw on for Trippier, good change

I wonder if they might regret this. I’d much prefer to start the player coming off an injury and on a possible minutes restriction than sub him on.

 

[ifmanis5]

Come on Dutch, do better.

 

[singaporesoxfan]

Dutch seem to be pressing much more this half

 

[rguilmar]

Gotta go back and give Rice a yellow

 

[SocrManiac]

Southgate’s (mis)management of this side makes me incredibly angry.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

The Dutch seem to have fix their midfield problem

 

[joe dokes]

I like Kyle Walker, but the offense seems to be stalling whenever he gets the ball on the wing near the box.

 

[swiftaw]

Would love to see Trent and Toney on for Walker and Kane.

 

[Verryfunny2]

So now the dutch have teh defense in order but at the cost of offensive firepower. Hoping to get a counter-attack off.

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

The Dutch seem to have fix their midfield problem

And England back to having zero clue how to progress the ball when they don't have a free overload in midfield.

 

[Catcher Block]

None of the guys up front for England want to move until they're one pass away. Making it too easy to defend.

 

[joe dokes]

England looks like it may have emptied the offensive tank in the first half.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Good save

 

[OCST]

Love seeing that

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

None of the guys up front for England want to move until they're one pass away. Making it too easy to defend.

Kane makes zero runs. Its shocking to watch.

 

[Verryfunny2]

English dropping like Germans. Any contact and they are down on the pitch.

 

[allstonite]

*Dutch complete one progressive pass*
Darke: THIS GAME IS ON A KNIFES EDGE NOW
*Dutch pass back and hold possession for 2 minutes*

 

[Ale Xander]

Wambach or Parlow at 45 yo would be more active then Kane

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

For a corrupt ref, this guy is actually ok.

 

[Ale Xander]

Rice is the antithesis of a Spanish team player

 

[Pesky Pole]

England badly needs some fresh legs. Too bad Gareth Southgate is their manager.

 

[Verryfunny2]

England looks like it may have emptied the offensive tank in the first half.

Yeah, Dutch seems to have a second wind. Bellingham yellow.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

The first half was fun … the second half is .. what’s the complete opposite of fun?

 

[allstonite]

The first half was fun … the second half is .. what’s the complete opposite of fun?

Southgatian?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

The first half was fun … the second half is .. what’s the complete opposite of fun?

The Yankees was my first thought.

 

[rguilmar]

The first half was fun … the second half is .. what’s the complete opposite of fun?

Southgate

 

[Ale Xander]

The first half was fun … the second half is .. what’s the complete opposite of fun?

British

 

[joe dokes]

The first half was fun … the second half is .. what’s the complete opposite of fun?

I think it's verging on "torpid."

 

[Verryfunny2]

The ref needs to start to give out yellows for those swalbes. WHERE IS THE FING VAR NOW FOR THAT FOUL ON Gakpo.

 

[Verryfunny2]

Dutch are playing well. Lots of energie.

 

[Ale Xander]

Miss

 

[SLC Sox]

Again, super casual fan here, but even this second half is better than watching France whose only idea against Spain seemed to be Kounde crossing it in over and over and over.

 

[rguilmar]

Saka and Mainoo were so involved in the first half. Almost invisible so far in the second.

 

[Ale Xander]

Off

 

[ifmanis5]

Hold on....
