Euro 2024
-
It was an interesting game - great first half but mainly because the Dutch got their formation wrong and England always had a man over at the edge of the box. Bellingham, Foden, Saka were pulling the strings and it looked like England had to get a 2nd. Then Koeman took off Malen and put on an extra midfielder and suddenly the space wasn't there. Second half became more cagey and without looking particularly dangerous, the Dutch were in the ascendancy and creating set pieces. Thought Southgate left it too late with his subs but as against Slovakia, he has the midas touch.
England have a chance in the final, Spain can be put under pressure in the same way as any other team. The issue will be getting hold of the ball though and England might need to set up more defensively to avoid being sliced up by Spain. So Spain slight favourites but hopefully it is a good final.

If England can send it to penalties then they don’t have to rely on team play only their individual abilities, which there is a lot of depth.
Will be interesting

Fabulous winner by Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins. England owes a lot of gratitude to Unai Emery for turning Watkins from a frustrated bench player under Steven Gerrard into a world-class goal scorer.
@sparky Agreed mate!
If in doubt, get the Aston Villa players in!

In a tight, tense game the superior ball skills of the Spanish will see them home.

I had never heard of that song until it was sung in a bar following the semi. Now I am seeing references to it everywhere.

Palmer is such a good player.

Drury lane pub gone mental

Spain are brilliant.

Kane off after offering absolutely nothing. Again.
-
Shit that was close
Not going down with a whimper fair play

One too many comebacks required. Kane should never have started. Spain were brilliant all tournament and richly deserve that. Their only weakness is morata.
