RE: Euro championship prediction league - St Charles Owl - 10-07-2024
Best performance by England in the tournament and in reality aside from a worldie the Dutch were never in it. Subs worked perfectly, but in reality thats been the case all along. Saka was good in the first half again, Bellingham and Foden seem to have found some understanding and we were on the front foot far more than previous games.

The Dutch were definitely there for the taking.
They never looked bad but never looked convincing either.
France didn't, Portugal didn't and Germany only showed glimmers.
This is actually a tournament you'd expect England to make the finals.
Beating Spain, however, is going to be much different as they're the only team to look threatening throughout the tournament.
Playing higher up allowed the players to be more natural in their roles. It didn't look disjointed and it forced Koemen to switch things up, killing the pace of the game and playing more on the counter.

If he doesn't play what should be the first team against Spain palmer toney shaw then it will I'll be be a boring final for us as we will be 3 down before we know it ! If he plays trippier I can only hope he gets cancer .
Result: England in the final
SCO, Imre, Washington, Maddix

He will have the same line up as tonight. Not sure Shaw can put in 90 mins yet so I expect Trippier to start again and to be subbed at HT. Kane will start as well. The subs have done well but maybe thats because they are used as subs and not starters. We haven't lost a game in the tournament and not conceded more than one goal, so no real need to change anything.
Maybe conceding early helped us, it forced us onto the front foot more, plus we seem to do better against teams that will come at us as that leaves space behind them or down the wings. We seem to struggle against teams that park the bus and we know Spain will not park the bus. I have said all along that this defence is as good as any other team in the tournament, Rice is excellent as the defending midfielder, he is awful going forward though!!

Spain will not sit back and if our plan is counter attack then with trippier and Kane it's a busted flush! The way Spain play they can end us within a 10 minute gallop and with the way England bottle everything it might be the case .

Corrected
Just a note only top scorer and pot to play for ...Kane foden and Bellingham could all be in with a chance here ...I'm hoping Bellingham remembers his Spanish and blows them away for the double on his part ..I mean you get the mom now for 4 minutes of play so he could still walk away with pot from 1 outstanding performance to his average one earlier in the tournament.

Need some pepper to balance out all that salt.
We've all been on the wrong end of the officials this tournament.
Koeman has absolutely no moral high ground to stand on given that he admitted he should've been sent off 30yrs ago against England for his foul in Platt.
I'd also say Zwayer made up for it by letting fouls go, like the foul shortly after we equalised on Foden where he was through on goal but pulled back. So they can stop whining really.

I'll have to record Sunday's game and watch it later because the darts are on Sky at the same time
RE: Euro championship prediction league - Imre varadi - 13-07-2024
I hate England I'm actually thinking off what it could be like to win something ffs ..my hopes are all up like a twat ! Even so if we do win I want ratface gone as if need to step up a few gears for the world cup which is in south American territory for winners Brazil Argentina and Uruguay are the only teams to win in the Americas..and all look shit tbh !
I might even find myself at the next world cup should the draw find England in Mexican territory!
Just a note to everyone I can get tickets without fail for the Azteca
