It Could Get A Bit Messi In Here - The Football Thread.

Cracking ball in by Shaw and Maguire just wanted it more. England really should be more than 2-0, this Ukrainian team isn’t great, probably the weakest team out of the 8 in the quarters off what I’ve seen.
 
Comprehensive victory for England at the weekend, they look to be hitting their stride at the right time and it sets up a very winnable semi with the Danes.

Thanks - I am surprised to be doing this well to be honest! I'm about to become a Dad (t-minus 4 weeks and counting) so I've got baby brain and am more than a little distracted at the moment. I picked my team and then forgot to change throughout the group stages and round of 16. Had to make 13 changes before the QFs so I played my wildcard. My only regret is that my choices on Paddy Power have not been as successful as my fantasy team 😂

Yup. England might have worked out tournament football this time…

At this point I'd love to see Denmark win it all, and that's not just because of the ABE rule. But let's be 100% honest here - England have had an extremely comfortable tournament. They haven't travelled other than for the QF in Rome and lucked out with an extremely favourable draw in the knockout stages. Ukraine were awful - that was a glorified pub team masquerading as a serious competitor. England did well to smash them, but the defending (particularly on set pieces) was amateur. Not to mention the semis & final are both at Wembley. Even if they beat Denmark, which is likely, I doubt their ability to cope with Italy or Spain. I mean FFS they couldn't even beat Scotland at home 😂. Is this wishful thinking from an embittered Scot? Absofuckinlutely.

but most of the time that`s how you win these tournaments . have a decently enough team and hope that enough things fall for you. t´s been a while since things fell together in Englands favour so i´ll be Ok with it happening this time.

You don’t have to deal with the English tabloid press though 😂

For some reason they’ve managed to worm their way in over here too and are generally Irish news and mix of Irish and U.K. sports (because of interest in Prem/Celtic etc) and so it’ll be bloody everywhere about this being the greatest team of all time 🙄

I agree with you but for one thing. They haven’t had any adversity yet. Maybe they won’t all tournament but I’ll be interested to see how they react if they do fall behind or concede an equaliser at some point.

Basically I think Italy are too good and would much rather see one of Denmark/England win. I think both would lose to Italy. So I need Spain to do a job today against Italy.
