[McBride11]

BOOM

Isn't the vest some tracking monitor?

 

[Kliq]

Well-earned win by Ukraine, they should give England a good game.

 

[Ale Xander]

What’s going on with Shevchenko and the Sweeen coach?

 

[teddykgb]

Shevchenko looks like he could still lead the line

 

[Ale Xander]

I love that man for all he’s done for the country

 

[McBride11]

Congrats Ukraine. Great game. Forsberg dinging every post hurts

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Well shit.

Edit - this is not the last eight that anyone on earth expected.

It feels as though Extra Time goals are usually pretty rare but you wouldn't know it from this tournament.

The boring, organized, possession teams rule the continent. Other than Italy the remaining teams are not great attacking teams.

Doesn't this normally describe Italy?

when healthy, Belgium is pretty good at attack, no?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Spain is obviously a possession team, but they did score 10 goals in two games.

Spain says hello!

It is cruel and unusual punishment that there are no more daytime during the work day matches until Friday. I don’t know how to survive

Different sport, but Red Sox Thursday is a day game if it doesn't get rained out

England Pickford is much better than Everton Pickford. Guy comes up in international games.

just going to post that Pickford can join Pogba in the Stud for Country, Dud for Club XI

Yarmalenko too.

Stud for Country, Dud for Club XI

Actually an interesting exercise... (I don't have the requisite depth of knowledge)

I felt Pickford got a bit better at Everton when he got his new hairdo

 

[Nick Kaufman]

Sums it up, no?

Said the same

Pickford was quietly very good in the second half of the season, while everyone else in sn Everton kit was beshitting themselves.

Mario Goetze also comes to mind

I'll play:

Pickford
Semedo-Vermaelen-Laporte-Garcia
Pogba-Shaqiri-Sterling
Yarmolenko-Goetze-Griezmann

Defense is real tough--Laporte and Garcia make it primarily for actually playing for country without being starters for MANC. I also think Goetze shouldn't be eligible for this exercise since he's not on the German squad.

 

[Kliq]

I'd put Dejan Lovern at defense; perhaps Lindelof as well.

Yarmolenko has 42 career goals for Ukraine. That is more international goals than Roberto Baggio, Johan Cruyff, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldinho, Alan Shearer, Diego Maradona, David Trezeguet, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Kenny Dalglish.
