Stuart Pearce has said that he can no
longer defend his long time friend and colleague and worries that we are getting worse each game !

So have Slovakia tbf.

I controversially don't believe that England are the worst performing team at the last 16 (that would be Italy by some distance imo) yeah we've been bad, but I do believe that of the huge teams that are still left in the competition that France are playing worse than England.

And I do also think that England are also better than Slovenia and Turkey, and possibly Belgium (as they did lose to Slovakia this tournament.)

I don't know if England are actually quite as bad as we're all thinking, yes we've been underwhelming and we're clearly not the best team in the competition, but I could see England actually having a competitive match with every team bar Spain and Germany.

Wow

I admire your optimism unless you have also hit the mini-bar !?

Knock Out Stages Thread (Euros 2024)
 

Interesting to note that Slovakia had to play their hearts out to get through to last night’s game when we had already qualified for our third game

Plus we had an extra day of rest more than them !!

hope this is an open game and ends up a cracker

final third, crap

Boring half

booooooooo

Interesting to see that two managers in particular are being criticised for poor squad selections / team selections / tactics and quality of football .. Southgate and Deschamps … and they are the two longest serving managers at the Euros !!

At what ?

well thats not entirely accurate, but they are pretty crap :laugh:

this has been a stinker, i really hope it doesn't go to extra time

FLUKE GOAL

This slow progressive build-up game after game where CB’s see the majority of the ball is
killing football as a product.

LET THE GOALIE PUNT IT UPFIELD AND GET ATTACKING

:facepalm:

Ha

Belgium make two subs with TWO minutes to go .. they are losing 1:0


That trick only works for Gareth ‘lucky bastard’ Southgate mate

Belgium going out to a massively deflected goal !!

Couldn’t happen to a more miserable beggar … KDB

KDB does not beat the first man with his corner

dud

KDB’s corners are as useless as Foden’s

You beat me to it !!


He had one job with seconds to go and he hits the first ( tiny) French player !

Belgium stunk out the tournament so good riddance

I blame ( supposed genius) PepG !!

I much prefer the new Spain way of ball retention PLUS the long ball / quick breakaway option !!
