Belgium was mainly a B squad and had already won the group, they were not gonna go hard like they did the first couple of games.
Hum they still had Hazard, DeBruyne and Lukaku out.

Altough one was judge outside but lukaku score 2 beautiful goals on fantastic pass by DeBruyne. This guy knows when to take risk and pass the ball up front with such precision.

Denmark is coming together, they play better without a trequartista. They are going to be tough to beat the remainder of the competition.
Denmark has great defensive and midfield players, but does lack a bit of forward power.

Did Dolberg not use to play in Italy? He was leadfooted in the game. Cornelius has not impressed either.

Younger Hazard is a starter, older one is not and just a shade of his former self, no explosive like he was at Chelsea and running at defenders, all he does now is pass the ball.

We're gonna find out if/when we meet Portugal in R16 whether we're for real or not.
If we cant beat Portugal we dont belong in the final 4
I hope for Portugal, especially after watching them play these first two games.

England are the heavy favorites to win this competition.

It's time they start playing like the invincible supermen they've been made out to be. Sweep aside the weakling Czech's so that all other national sides can quiver with fear.

Foden isnt even on the bench.
I wonder if he copped an attitude towards Southgate for not starting

Grealish and Saka are playing well. It will be hard now to remove them from the line up. But Mount and Foden are great player. This team is deeper then I initially tough.

Just noticed Saka was born in 2001!!

Boring game really. After Shaw saved a goal, the Czechs didn't get any more scoring chances.

The British Press is psychotic, if England continues to play this high level of defense...they just might make them happy.

The Danes led by their Ragazzino are into the knock out phase - I think? . Putin can have an orifice party with Erdogan.

Deeds, not empty gestures, matter. When SJWs can save thousands of migrants from drowning, they have a soap box to stand on. Till then, to quote Ainsley Harriott, "they can shut their quiche holes and bugger off".

I've been watching Italian news and facebook, they're all proud of those who didn't take a knee. They (italians) did take a shit on Marchisio that criticized them.

I watched both, the Croatia-Scotland wasn't boring at all. Croatia is stacked with very good players, they did win but the Scots fought back like crazy, at one point my heart was with the Scots. Couple of fights broke out too.

I hate that they have the 2 games at the same time, especially the Germany France Portugal.

The last fixtures in a group have to commence at the same time so that there is no match fixing like there were in the World Cup games of the past.
England have scored just two goals in their group and not conceded any goals. They better pick up their game to do what Portugal did the last time around.
Mount and Chilwell have to self isolate after they were caught hugging Billy Gilmour from Scotland after the match. Gilmour tested positive for Covid-19. That is why they did not participate versus The Czech Republic and will be unavailable until June 28th.

Is England much like the Leafs? They haven't won the world cup since 1966. Is this why I cheer for England?

From what I saw, Gareth Southgate is keeping his cards close to his vest. After the Shaw save, the Czechs didn't get another scoring chance. That play doesn't look like much, Luke Shaw had to do what was expected of him - sacrifice himself by getting his head to the ball. Had he gone for the block with his body, Nasty Pickford would have been forced to make the save. As it turned out the ball sailed wide when the shot finally came.
