    @MajorRage said in Euro 2024:

    Can’t think of any team in any sport ever which plays so much less than the sum of its parts

    England are the anti-Barbarians

    Players play & perform for some of the best club sides in the world

    Spend plenty of time together as a team but look like they barely know each other

    Lack of basic skills and vision doesn’t allow them to freestyle when they’re up against it

    @MiketheSnow and they left arguably their two most creative players at home

      I rate Switzerland a chance. If they like they did vs Germany and Italy they’ll be a good chance.

        England have showed exactly zero sign of playing to their potential, so I rate Switzerland favourites

                Wow, if you want to watch a team just pass between their back three all day then watch England. Devoid of any ideas of how to break down the formation in front of them, but every punter and commentator seemingly could see it. How could a team of champion players be so bad as a team?

                Part of me feels they can only improve and with those players you would think they would have to, but they are so far off right now. Its like watching an old episode of Fawlty Towers. The irony is though, they are still there and Basil is saving his moves for the Germans. (note I do know the swiss are up next)

                  Jees that was a braindead offside by Foden in the disallowed goal. Does he even know how to soccer?

                          Must have heard me

                          Both trying to win it now

                          But extra time still looks likely

                              France with a lucky deflection to go 1-0 up with about 10 to play

                                France win 1-0

                                Unbelievably they haven't scored a goal from open play (today's was a massive deflection and should be classed as an own goal) and they're in the QF

                                  Sesko threw that away for Slovenia.

                                    Own goal has had a great tournament so far, well ahead in the goal-scoring race (9).

                                      Portugal Slovenia match was an absolute cracker of 0-0.

                                      Ronaldo is learning the hard way that scoring goals for fun in the Saudi league doesn't mean that you still have it. I would honestly expect a Championship striker to have been on the scoresheet at least once with the chances he had / gave himself.

                                        Portugal would be a much better side without the narcissist.

                                          is Austrian bubble about to burst?

                                          Netherlands made to work by Romania before late goals gave a comfortable win.
