Euro 2024

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)

I've heard of fairweather fans but fairweather drinking fans is taking it a bit far.

France v Belgium
Two teams playing not to lose
Shits me
-
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.
-
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.

is Austrian bubble about to burst?
Netherlands made to work by Romania before late goals gave a comfortable win.

Austria waaaay better than turkey who basically offered nothing than their 2 goals. But that was enough. Dutch should win easily id think that was turkeys final.

Insomnia enabled me to watch both games. The Dutch much better than Romania once they had weathered the early storm but found many ways not to get a second goal. Should be too good for Turkiye who will continue to need goals from corners - that being said, Hakan Çalhanoğlu is their class in midfield and he was suspended for today's game.
Austria certainly threw a lot towards the end and extra time would have been fair - fantastic save though.
-
All quarters as expected except I thought Austria would beat turkey. Spain still look the best team. I hope either them or Germany make the final as France and Portugal have been pretty tedious.
On the other side Dutch should get past turkey and hopefully Switzerland can keep up their good form and knock out England.
