The Euros Thread

[highglossranger]

France and Italy will be really worried at facing that kind of performance

Draw with Czech Republic...
Go through 2nd in the group..

Let the big boys destroy each ither

Win the whole thing

 

[jeffranger]

After that performance we wouldn’t scare anyone we faced

 

[ELLERS]

mmm not that good.

So after that rather dull draw we go into the last match against the Czech Republic both needing a draw to qualify, but knowing if we lose we are more likely to get an easier draw in the next round, so it'll be a case of who does the best job of looking like they are trying, but still lose.

Yep, this format stinks.

Anyway credit to Scotland for holding England’s frontline of Shaun Wright Philips and Grant Holt at bay.

 

[Goldhawk-Road]

Credit the Scots, they played with great heart and defended excellently. England looked bemused, lacklustre and short of ideas. We have the talent. We need to show it.

So how much has that added to lyndon's value?

How much has it taken off Harry Kane’s……just when Levy is hoping for top $

 

[Tramore Ranger]

On rte they just mentioned mount about being poor...... actually can't recall him being involved in anything 2nd half....

Lyndon getting good reviews from pundits on rte....

What a boring performance from England. Lacklustre, no creativity infact piss poor. Having to watch with my scottish family, it became difficult not to applaud scotland and i wanted Dykes to score. Cant understand Foden substitution but the best player on the pitch was the young lad Gilmour.

 

[Tramore Ranger]

Pat nevin also impressed with Lyndon on beeb text.... would be his motm if not for the lad Gilmour

You'd think Scotland had won the tournament the way they are talking about the game on STV a good solid performance by them - you just know they'll get trounced by Croatia now

Most likely. There are a lot of teams in this tournament that would beat both England and Scotland.

 

[bobmid]

From what ive seen of the home nations teams, wales look to have the best chances in a knockout game and going the furthest.

 

[QPR Oslo]

I'm pretty sure Southgate was asking Dykes if he didnt have an English Grandparent at the end there. He gave England more problems than Kane gave Scotland.

 

[bobmid]

Southgate hasn’t a clue

Sterling or Phillips should have gone off for Grealish. Not Foden.

Yep strange sub to me, needed both Foden & Grealish together,
I wonder what Col would’ve made of our performance & subs tonight? He normally sticks up & doesn’t criticise them like most of us!

It would be difficult not to criticise that performance. I think.the only positive was that we didnt concede.

And that there were only 2 minutes of stoppage time.

 

[Sooperhoop]

One dimensional manager, one dimensional team. This squad should be playing with freedom not shackles. Good news is Southgate was told he will be in charge through the World Cup campaign regardless of how Euros go so another generation of talented players will under-achieve, he's the problem not the solution...
