Score stands but I don't like the way England performed.

 
imusic 2024-06-16 22:57:29 

I wasn’t sure. Were the England supporters booing during the Serbian anthem?

Edit…apparently Serbian fans started it by booing GOD save the King

Belgica robbed of an equalizer,that wasn't "hand to ball"it was "ball to hand",where did he suppose to keep his hand,that VAR is causing some problems.

He would score that 10 outta 10 times,maybe a lob would have been better coz the keeper was well off his line.

Watching England Denmark 1-1 , 15 minutes to full time.
England looks pathetic most of the time and especially
since Denmark got the equalizer before half time.

Has it ever not been so? lol

The England team is the Dallas Cowboys of world football.....lots of hype and attention but with decades of ineptitude and futility.

That's something else, isn't it?

Rangnick has been able to mold Austria into a team that punches above its weight.

Portugal 3-0 Turkey
Belgium 2-0 Romania
Georgia 1-1 Czechia

Germany 1-1 Switzerland
Hungary 1-0 Scotland

The Scots go home....

Why the pundits sleeping on Portugal? They have a talented squad and been having better results than England coming into the Euros.

Spain top the group, with Italy second.

 
nitro 2024-06-26 01:34:04 

Southgate out! England top the group but the coach get bottled (ok plastic cups). English fans really lap up the overhyping of their players by the media.

 
mikesiva 2024-06-26 07:42:49 

In reply to nitro

lol
England 0-0 Slovenia
Denmark 0-0 Serbia

Is there a goal drought in that group?

England 5 points
Denmark 4 points
Slovenia 3 points

All three should advance.

Serbia go home.

 
mikesiva 2024-06-27 07:42:00 

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium
Slovakia 1-1 Romania

Turkey 2-1 Czechia
Georgia 2-0 Portugal!!

Even though that's an upset, the friendly system of advancing 16 of 24 teams to the knockout meant that Portugal was in no danger of going home.

Finally, we're coming up to the more competitive KOs....

Saturday
Switzerland vs Italy
Germany vs Denmark

The defending champs limp out. Will Italy miss 3 consecutive World Cups? It is not looking good.

Spain hot but I am going with Portugal. France seems to be lacking this time but let us see, today is a big one!

In reply to nitro

France 1-0 Belgium
Portugal 0-0 (3-0 pks) Slovenia

France dominated, but struggled to score. However, Portugal were worse, with Ronaldo missing a penalty in normal time. They needed penalty kicks to advance.

 
mikesiva 2024-07-03 08:34:57 

Netherlands 3-0 Romania
Turkey 2-1 Austria

The Dutch and the Turks rounding into form at the right time?

 
Acid 2024-07-06 18:44:54 

England through to the semis

Saka and Rice put in a shift and even Ramsdale was celebrating with Saka for his goal

The Oranje into the semis!

Well done! Keep fighting! big grin

Spain is playing Brazilian soccer. What a beautiful sight. Meanwhile, the thugs on the Brazilian team are shaming and disgracing the legacy of Brazil.

Backing Spain all the way in the final on Sunday against the Poms.
I like their style and they should triumph.

Who would've thought England, playing the way they did in the group, would reach the final? This is the best I've seen them play, in the semis against Holland.

England 2-1 Netherlands
Spain 2-1 France

Final on Sunday

Any team with Saka, Rice and Ramsdale has a chance big grin

At least one of Raya or Ramsdale getting a gold medal

Harry Kane continues his Trophyless career

I feel a bit for Saka. To me he is England's best player.
But congrats Spain, You are better than all the rest and proved it.

Would be nice to have Spain play the runner up of CONMEBOL Copa America,probably Colombia
with England playing the winner ,maybe Argentina next week then have a Final.
This level Football is NICE.smile
