Euro 2024

Quoted from grimsby pete

As Bill Shankly or was it Brian Slough said ,if he was not interfering with play, what was he doing on the pitch ?

Now today's games Georgia  playing really well went a goal down but disallowed by VAR. Then get a lucky pen when ref asked to have another look and awards Georgia a pen who score and go in at the break 1-0.

Thank you .

1-1 Georgia with just keeper to beat blast it over the bar.

Good game both Georgia and Czech Republic did not deserve to lose so draw a fair result.

Players not at talented as ours but much better game because  they ran at each other so much more exciting than walking football.

Dave take note for next season if we are going to play possession football can we do it quicker please.

The draw really looks like it's opening up for England (if we can win Group C). If Romania can get something from Belgium tonight and Belgium don't win Group E it will get even better. And lets be honest, the only way this England team goes deep into this competition is if the other top teams are all in the opposite side of the draw.

Conveniantly ignoring the fact that France will win the group therefore England wont be avoiding them

Heh. I've just realised that the feckers at the hospital have booked me in for a scan at 7.45pm on Tuesday night! Shouldn't take too long, but I suppose it will at least save me from some misery (unless we do well, in which case I'll have to watch the highlights).

And that Italy will almost certainly finish 2nd in Group B, meaning we’d likely face them if we got as far as the quarters, not Switzerland.

Things have generally fallen pretty kindly for Southgate when it comes to knockout opposition, his first two tournaments in particular. This time though I think it will be a tricky path from the quarters onwards.

Also think Belgium ( whilst not being) the team of old, will win their group

We'll see.

And before you say the same about Belgium... if Slovakia win their last match there's nothing Belgium can do to win the group.

Italy are sh!te, Croatia beat them comfortably.

I would say though that the best 3 teams in the tournament so far have been Portugal, Spain & Germany in that order. All 3 will be in the other half of the draw if England win Group C. So whether France, Belgium and Italy or Netherlands, Slovakia or Croatia are in our half of the draw (or any mix of that) it's still a much easier path than the other half of the draw.
