Reminder that Portgual were terrible in the groups and won Euro 2016 and Arg lost to Saudis in first game of world cup.. . Before we get the usual "but England started rubbish compared to Germany/Spain" after we inevitably don't click against serbia and don't win 10 0

Sounds even more chaotic.

Sounds even more chaotic.No, mate. It's 12 groups of 4, with the top 2 teams going through, along with the 8 best 3rd placed teams, to make up 32 teams in the first KO round.

Bizarre penalty incident in the Spain Croatia match !

Ruled out because an encroaching attacking player was involved in the goal.
Quote from: ChrisBx on June 15, 2024, 07:19:43 pmRuled out because an encroaching attacking player was involved in the goal.The correct call. Var has had a good tournament so far. The two pen decisions in the Scotland game and the lino somehow flagging the first swiss goal off this afternoon.
And again the Europeans showing us up in terms of noise, songs, passion. But we'll still think we're best because we sign engerland once every 45 mins

Quote from: TonySoprano on June 15, 2024, 06:51:31 pmBizarre penalty incident in the Spain Croatia match ! Can anyone explain why it wasn't a red card?I know it was barely a foul but once the penny is given the surely it's a red???
Italy are a tournament team simple as. Friendlies don't matter, qualifiers dont matter, its all about the tournament. 4 stars above the badge. Bloody wish England were tooI know there a separate thread about Italy but trying to keep it all on one euro 2024
Unless it is some sophisticated disinformation campaign, it looks like he is going with:PickfordWalkerStonesGuehiTrippierRiceTrentSakaBellinghamFodenKaneGary Neville was saying yesterday that against weaker sides where there is a lot of men behind ball, having Trent to get ball forward early and quickly is the key, otherwise we end up getting bogged down. Against better sides, Trent probably drops out and one of Gallagher, Wharton or Mainoo comes in to midfield, as we are likely the ones chasing our arse for 90 mins.
