Nah, they were poor. They were well struck, but not in the corner and they made it obvious which way they were going.
Ok, first shot on target. Totally agree that the players kept trying but as I've said elsewhere its not the players, its the system.
Anyone want to try ranking the teams who are left by levels of performance so far? 1. Spain 2. Germany 3. Switzerland 4. Austria 5. France 6. Portugal 7. Romania 8. England 9. Netherlands 10. Turkey And squad quality: 1. France 2. England 3. Spain 4. Germany 5. Switzerland 6. Portugal 7. Netherlands 8. Austria 9. Turkey 10. Romania
I think Switzerland have a great team! I might be punishing Portugal for having Ronaldo though! I thought I would push us up a bit on performance to keep Tom happy
I don’t actually think France have a better squad than us. Three/Four of them get in our team, as I said previously. Mbappe, Kante, Saliba then Hernandez as a result of us not having an LB.
1. Spain - Stand out team so far 2. Germany - Next best, mostly impressive 3. Austria - Looked surprisingly strong and won the hardest group 4. Switzerland - Mostly looked good 5. France - France, Portugal and Netherlands all about the same - average with some impressive spells and some poor 6. Portugal - France, Portugal and Netherlands all about the same - average with some impressive spells and some poor 7. Netherlands - France, Portugal and Netherlands all about the same - average with some impressive spells and some poor 8. Romania - Some impressive, some poor 9. Turkey - Some impressive, some poor 10. England - 30 minutes of impressive, the rest poor And squad quality: 1. France 2. England 3. Germany 4. Spain 5. Portugal 6. Netherlands 7. Switzerland 8. Austria 9. Turkey 10. Romania
1. Spain 2. Switzerland 3. Germany 4. Austria 5. Netherlands 6. Turkey 7. Romania 8. England 9. Portugal 10. France Portugal struggled just as much as England against Slovenia. France have really underperformed as well. TBH the top 4 have been very good, the rest have been average to poor. And squad quality: 1. England 2. France 3. Spain 4. Germany 5. Portugal 6. Netherlands 7. Switzerland 8. Austria 9. Turkey 10. Romania
Combined France / England XI Pickford Kounde Saliba Stones Hernandez Kante Rice Mbappe Bellingham Saka Kane It's bloody close, but I guess I could see England edging this. And please nobody say Walker should be RB. He has been awful.
