Dmitry Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Just now, mjazzg said: Well played Scotland. England were awful, complete lack of imagination. Agree. VERY surprised at the Scotts - refreshing, imaginative, enthusiastic. Everything that England was supposed to be, but was not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southgate was clueless with the substitutions, he has five so use them if you're not winning and don't take off your most creative player, Foden Kane is hamstrung by a system that had no England players getting to the byeline to put in crosses, not once! Scotland have some more than decent players and just need a good striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmitry Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Argentina - Uruguay is coming up in an hour. This should beast the pants off the E-S match. Agree on Kane. He had just one half-decent cross delivered to him in the second half. If Grealish were put in 20 minutes sooner, it could've ended differently. Manager should've subbed Sterling, not Foden.

I think Orban is a little too soft for UEFA and FIFA. Minsk is the place to be! Would make a nice preview for Qatar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwbol Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Very pleased with the schedule for the knock out phase. Let the big boys take each other out first! Even England and Germany who are on our side immediately paired with each other. We wouldn't stand a chance on the side with Italy, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmitry Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 Ukraine lost two matches, barely won against North Macedonia, still made it to the 1/8, and will be facing Sweden. Talk about being lucky… Tomorrow Wales may pull a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 The French team rolled when it should have rocked in the first half of ils maitch against Switzerland. The Swiss team proved its worth with cohesive actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmitry Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Well, just about all my predictions went up in a cloud of stinking smoke. The biggest upset is, of course, the elimination of the reigning World Champions French in the first elimination round. England-Germany and Sweden-Ukraine today.

Morata is such an enigma, he misses so many more chances than he scores but that was a wonderful goal he did score. Isn't there a more consistent striker somewhere in Spain? Not feeling very confident about England's chances today and not only because it's Germany, again. We really need to come out of our shell and play some forward-thinking football now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Hands up all those who are so ancient that they can remember seeing the last competition win by an England side against this particular national team/nemesis in 1966..

Dmitry Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) This is the first time in history when neither the reigning European Champion nor the World Champion had made it to the 1/4 finals. 6 minutes ago, sidewinder said: They were neutralised in the second half - very effectively I thought. Indeed. Also, Pickford is one of the best keepers I've ever seen on the goal line. I'm just referring to his awesome saves on the line, not him being an amazing universal keeper overall.

sidewinder Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Interesting to hear Juergen Klinsmann’s views on the BBC commentary. He thought it was pretty evens at half time. Maybe said to keep the locals happy? 17 minutes ago, Dmitry said: Also, Pickford is one of the best keepers I've ever seen on the goal line. I'm just referring to his awesome saves on the line, not him being an amazing universal keeper overall. He’s the best keeper they’ve had for years and - importantly - ups his game for the big occasion. I can remember Gordon Banks and Peter Shilton though, who still set the standard for this team. Banks in particular. Edited June 29, 2021 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
