Euro2020 Knock Out Rounds

[davmaher]

Seriously, on the England support thing (and if you feel *English* fair enough if that's your thing and you dont view it all as a stick to beat non-white English people with...which many do support the national team in order to do), but it really is a sign that you've given up on your own team ever being successful when you lump in and seek reflected glory from them.

Even after 26 years of f.a. from Everton trophy-wise I couldn't demean myself by joining the ranks of Cockneys and Geordie mutants who throw their hand in with that lot. Sorry. It's just not for me.

That's fine. All about opinions. If you want to join the Kopite led, anti-England, "Scouse not English" brigade then go for it.

Surely that shows there's a good side there, so is Belgiums squad and they're out

The last golden generation was probably worth a few bob in today's money.

that belgium squad has chadli who plays in turkey and is worth about 5p now

belgium team probably is worth half the england team yet is ranked higher

Let's see these bottlers perform when they face a tean that has a midfield and gets in their box.

Goretzka, kimmich, gundogan, muller

And they had Bobby Martinez at the wheel

The strategy is flat-out wrong, unless the idea is to practice the strategy to beat Italy.

The problem with trying to win 1-0 is that it introduces variance. If you have a couple of Keystone Kops moments at the back, you lose 2-1.

The Spanish pulled it off, but the Spanish also had an utterly absurd back four, Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets denying the opponent the ball and Casillas at the top of his game in goal. You don't.

Hummmm...

Goretzka, kimmich, gundogan, muller

Sorry forget that other fella, kroos I think his name is

england were joint pre-tournament favourites right?

so surely anything less than a final is a failure?

This is the sort of unbridled positivity England reaching a semi final awakens on this forum
