Cant make changes once the game week/round starts! Standard FF rules. I was laughing when I saw that you still had T A-A in your staring team when he was ruled out and taken out of the squad over a week ago!

So , today it looks like " the game was continued upon both teams request" was an uefa lie. The players were only given 2 options: you can play on now or tomorrow at noon. So whoever made that decision needs to be removed immediately. Fuck UEFA.

UEFA Getting Crushed After Comment From Denmark's Coach
UEFA released a statement suggesting Denmark and Finland players opted to play their game today. That might not have been true.

The worst thing for me was that the BBC continued to show the footage from the pitch. No one needs to see his wife in that situation...

There must be millions of people each day who have to continue their job when a colleague is taken sick, collapses or worse. Why those footballers who have resources for trauma counselling at their fingertips should be treat any different is beyond me especially given they'd seen their colleague taken from the pitch in a stable condition.
Broadcasters often seem to be the scapegoat for people realising after the fact that they used poor judgment not using their own ability to stop watching. What occurred obviously became a news event and it was dutiful of the BBC and others to make a record of it, but news isn't always pretty and we can all use our own fade to black button when we don't want to watch.

Lets not turn this into another hot take social media thread, a man came within seconds of dieing yesterday, just be glad he is alive today and can hopefully have a normal life now and enjoy some football this summer.

Nice setup from Phillips there. England up 1-0

England haven’t been great here and Croatia look old and slow, they’re there for the taking. Trippier at LB has been a failure, choked the natural width a Shaw or Chilwell would have provided. All the same if they hold on a win is a decent result to kick off with. Looking forward to Scotland tomorrow now!

Maybe getting ahead of myself a bit, but nothing I've seen of the 2 teams today worries me. Both teams can definitely beat us, but it's not guaranteed...

I agree but I think England showed too much respect to Croatia with that line up. Do you think young Gilmour will get a chance of a run out in the tournament? I really like the look of what I’ve seen so far.

Hopefully, although he may only come on as a sub. I'd give him a start for a bit more attacking flair.
The Netherlands friendly was the game that got me feeling optimistic: we played well against a good team with 7 players down. As a Scotland fan, being optimistic is rare, and risky...

That game made me realize that England can’t just expect Mount to do all the heavy lifting. If Phillips starts to drive forward like he had in this game then they’ll do well. But it shouldn’t be coming from one of their DMs. I think Grealish should get involved maybe in place of Foden, Rice or Sterling. Kane can’t keep dropping deep because he was terrible trying to grab the ball from midfield and making something happen. Walker is not as good of a crosser as Trippier or James. If they’re set up to use wing backs or crossing from the Full Backs, then use Full Backs who are good crossers.
