Euro 2024

SM001

England look like they’re playing with 10 men.

SM001 That’s because Hugo’s mere presence here is sapping the life and motivation out of them.

Smallman1 That’s Hugo for you MC.

3 points. We go again as they say.

Good match, I thought Serbia were really good and England did well to get over the line.

Would have looked a lot different if Kane’s header went in.

hugopal You’ve taken a single screenshot to try to prove a point. I’m lost for words.

I took more than one across the space of about 10 minutes - but thought better of spamming the board with them when that one was a clear enough example of our shape.

Overall that was too passive and negative, too sloppy and lacking in cohesion. Germany and Spain looked more impressive in their opening games, that seemed a similar level to Italy’s performance. Just scraped by.

Wherever Foden played, he was pretty useless; not sure how he lasted the 90. Trent was horrendous and rightly subbed. Kane mostly a passenger.

Bellingham, Guehi and Saka were excellent. (Prob should have included Rice in that as well.)

RichM

hugopal it’s a win in our first game, I will settle for that. We don’t have to be the best team in the tournament at this stage.

Dan

Thought Rice was excellent.

alistair

Dan He was. Critical to that clean sheet. Pickford was very good

hugopal

Dan Have you thought of upgrading your Nokia?

It’ll be as much a factor of watching on an iffy stream on my laptop than my phone.

hugopal

RichM Yeah of course, though the general lack of energy and intensity was still a concern given the tournament has only just started.

Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia in their opening game of the World Cup.

Dan Loopy in 3,2…..

I was at my cottage (‘summer cabin’) in Northern Ontario with the family… My son and I watched the Germany game and that’s the only game I’ve caught so far.

We use Starlink up there for broadband and as soon as the city dwellers all arrive at the lake for the weekend, it becomes more difficult to stream using my IPTV service because everyone is using the same bandwidth. I tried to watch the Spain game but it was glitching like a motherfucker, so I gave up.

I’m back in the city so expect my play-by-play analysis starting Monday.

C_J

England’s main problem is a lack of pace up front because it means teams can press them and not worry about England getting in behind. Even when they had loads of the ball Kane never looked a threat. He looks like he’s played one too many games this season.

I think Watkins and Bowen will be important players if they’re going to do well.

ScottBailey

Kane looked injured. He also looked like he’d just played in the German league for the last 12 months

What does this mean SB?

Does anyone else get the urge to go on a killing spree after being exposed to herberts singing sweet caroline?

Or do i need to get therapy?

Do the killing spree first, then go to the therapy - just to be on the safe side.

Looking forward to it brother.

Will definitely be better than the bilge served up by the British meedya
