With all the talent England got walking around, if they don't win the Euro this summer they should hang their heads in shame.
I have been hearing this since the days of Terry Venables and Sven Erikkson. Surely, English soccer fans should know better by now? Having said that, it is borderline criminal that they failed to win it in 2021 against a very beatable Italian team.

UEFA have officially confirmed that Denmark finished ahead of Slovenia in Group C because of a yellow card shown to Slovenia assistant coach Milivoje Novaković.

Denmark and Slovenia finished level on points, goal difference, goals scored and yellow cards shown to players.

Now Denmark is meeting Germany and ?after? that Spain.

Holland vs Austria is the most exciting match of the Euros so far. They will both go through (I think), if the Dutch aren't in the R16 it will be a damn shame. Both Holland and Austria can match up with any opposing Selects for pace. They are going to be a huge problem in the knockout phase.

Stop the hyper bullshit, England finished top of their group.


Although the R16 will be very difficult for them if they face Holland. From what I've seen the English midfield works at 2/3 the pace of the Dutch.

Mancini had the Italian team running like hell against England. And just like now, the England team sat back and just kicked the ball around aimlessly. That is why Italy won, though England was lucky the match went to penalties where a first timer like Saka was entrusted with the crucial penalty kick.

When Foden, Bellingham, Saka play for their clubs, they are full of vigour making runs endlesslly. Here, they just stand around without making runs. That is the main reason for the poor England showing to date. And it will not change. Because Southgate is a poor coach with no imagination.

Kvararskhelia has scored against Portugal.

It's easy to perform for Pep and Carlino. Carlino now has 7 Champions Cups to his name.


Ancelotti, Spalletti and myself were all born on the sAme year.

Seems the afternoon games are more intense Turkey and the Czecks were going at each other at the end brawling , red cards yellow cards.

Amazing Georgia managed to win against Portugal, although portugal is going thru. Ronaldo was right about the guy holding on to his shirt and he got a yellow card for it. Got off the pitch he was angry as hell.

Looks like the biggest game is going to be France Belgium next week.

Putin must hate this, he's taken 1/3 of Georgia's territory.

Rafael Leao out due to a second yellow card. Georgia goalie Giorgi Mamardashvili is a Superman.

Maybe a different result with Leao but he's a diver. Very good game, Mamardashvili was very good, apparently his cousin Mamalucco is good too. :p

Neither team was anything special. We are talking about Italy who haven't qualified for a world cup since 2014. England scored early and decided to sit back despite playing on home turf and having the quality to score more. The loss is entirely on Southgate.

England have no excuses. They can go all the way to the quarters until they play the best.

I would rather see Scotland represent UK

Mamalucco has signed a contract with Pistoiese, Antonio Desolati hasn't been heard from.

This Euro has become a midfielder's game whomever can keep up the pace will win. Spain, Austria and Holland are the favorites. Don't count out Germany, they're at home and know how to grind out wins.

Poor Scotland!

Yes they have not qualified for the world's and should have yes... this was Euro a tougher tournament by far...England was regulated in the Nation's league to B and Italy finished 3rd....Italy a far better team then England, even now with new coach and players. The only team that looks unbeatable is Spain...who won the Nation's league...Croatia 2nd so have italy played 2 tough teams already? Absolutely. Italy are young and re setting so not expecting to much, but a decent team fore sure, they will make mistakes that will cost them due to lack of inexperienced at the National level.

So here are my remarks after the group games.

A: Germany is efficient enough. As usual, they could win this having us all yawn to despair.
B: Spain will win this euro if they keep up like that.
C: England plays like a guy who puts goggles on to cut onions... Looking at a green plant growing was more interesting than their 3 games.
D: Austria! The country of Schnitzel impressed. France is sipping Pastis under the sun. Maybe scoring a goal will cross their mind soon...
E: A first in history. 3 bad teams make the round!
F: Portugal can make it unless Ronaldo's ego fuck it up again. Putin must be pissed seeing Georgia make it!

I was sad seeing Modric's phenomenal international career end up like that...

The euro is fun to watch because of all the talent players have.

While watching the copa is like an orgy 😷 It seems everyone wants a piece of it at all cost...
