UEFA Euro 2024: Expectations?

[mcgameboy]

Nope 3-1

Even a broken clock is right twice a day mate

I think phoden is gonna be the difference tonight!

But yeah the Dutch are shit, All they have as a threat is the fast counter attack, But there struggling to even get the ball to do that.

If england get another goal I think it over for the Dutch sadly.

Phodens on !!!!

 

[kou187]

Get Gordon and Trent on and England will walk this , the Dutch midfield is awful.

Don't worry there coming on soon....

He's just waiting for the 89th minute and us to go 3-1 down...

 

[mcgameboy]

The equaliser was a contentious decision. Never a penalty IMO.

But England are clearly on top in this game.

If they get the speedsters on, they could cause the Dutch all manner of problems.

The Dutch have one ace up their sleeve....Weghorst. They need to watch him.

 

[goatwack]

Question is whether England can sustain that play in 2nd half, or whether Holland will raise theirs...

 

[kou187]

England need to wake up!

Before they fuck this up.

 

[mcgameboy]

England playing a dangerous game here.

This is on a similar trajectory to the second half of the Netherlands Turkey QF.
Turkey faded, Netherlands raised their game and came back to win it.

England need to wrestle some control back.

EDIT: Kou beat me to it by mere seconds.

Jude booked by the match fixer he called out while playing for Dortmund.

Probably muttering to himself "what took the c*nt so long?"

I can't stand him jude, got a real bad attitude every game this tournament.

Throwing his hand up and jogging bk. Kids got Marcus Washford tendencies if you ask me, haha

Washford

Being a United fan myself, I prefer to call him Gashford. Because he's GAAAAASH....

 

[goatwack]

Someone remind me when England last played well in both halves, I'll be here

They had a chance to peg the opposition back within the first 15 minutes of the 2nd half, but retreated back into Southgateball...

England are more than capable of a one-off moment of magic, but Holland have asserted themselves, and it's all orange

 

[goatwack]

Nice move, but offside

 

[kou187]

It's pens again if you ask me.
Got it written all over it

 

[mcgameboy]

Uh oh. Free kick on a wet pitch. Pickford better not spill this.

 

[mcgameboy]

Never mind. The match fixer obviously has a bet on there being no more than X corners....

 

[mcgameboy]

WOW

 

[goatwack]

Haha wow!

 

[kou187]

You can never predict football I guess.

Get in england!!!
go on ollie watkins lad!!!

 

[goatwack]

So little time left. The Dutch looking nervously at the clog

 

[kou187]

Newspapers tommorow.....

Southgate tactical genius, a new pep in the making. Haha

 

[Jono777]

Erm *cough*

 

[mcgameboy]

Erm *cough*

EVEN A BROKEN CLOCK IS RIGHT TWICE A DAY!!

OK OK OK. You win this one mate. Well done.

It's fucking rigged, I tell ya!!!....



PS I bloody well knew you would be on here like shit to a blanket

 

[goatwack]

England proving they have strength in depth and match-winners akimbo.

Only thing left to do now is make a couple of 'Chess-like' sacrifices and break Yamal & Olmo's legs and hope for a counter with the nine men!

 

[DreamRJ]

COME ON ENGLAND!

Second Euros final in a row. This time we better not fuck it up!

But I predicted spain in this thread at the start. They have been super strong. It is going to be a super tough match.

 

[mcgameboy]

In all seriousness, I want to see Southgate gone after this Euros.

But the future for England is looking very bright.
Even when Kane eventually retires there is plenty out there to fill the void.
Plenty of good, young and pacey players.

Get a manager who takes the leash off those speedy players and they could terrorise opponents.

England have the tools to be the major threat to Spanish dominance in Europe for the next decade.

Southgate is one jammy c*nt though.
