Spain, France and Portugal for the win.

You have to feel sorry for the England squad they have no time for training fitness and team talks, too busy doing TV advertisements. Apart from Phil Foden of course but he's not done any ads due to his bad haircut. I think the whole England team should bring back the "Mullet" maybe that would fix the problem. Some of the best England performances came with Mullet equipped squads

But the mullet is out of fashion, just like technical ability is for the England side.

Hungary holding France to a draw at half time....whatever next?

Moonlight · 06-19-21, 11:01 AM

Hungary got a 1-1 draw with France, it's a funny old game this football malarkey, me thinks that France could be a bit overrated or just plain bleeding rubbish. Only 1 goal for France after 2 games and that's with supposedly the best front line at this tourney, never mind France at least England are more rubbish than you are.

(wave with my right hand)Good bye any profit I would have made if France had won the game.

I always find it amusing whenever England loses or draws against a lesser team - navel gazing and self flagellation inevitably follows.

At the end of the day, it might be wise for the England support to always temper their expectations - there's nothing in the sporting manual that says England must always be victorous, regardless of the quality of the opposition.

Overconfidence has always been England's Achilles heel.

Germany 2:1, this time well deserved. More chances than goals and this time they really play.. short to first half only though.

Moonlight · 06-19-21, 12:08 PM

Portugal score 3 times and are losing 2-1, you couldn't bloody make this crap up.

Jimbuna · 06-19-21, 12:23 PM

I do believe there is a certain element of jockeying for position afoot.

Catfish · 06-19-21, 12:55 PM

really did not expect this

Jimbuna · 06-19-21, 01:09 PM

Me neither but a good result nonetheless.

Well I'm glad I'm not one of those old boy, whenever an international football match involves England I always give the team grief, it's not because I have high expectations for them it's because the tossers think they're gods gift to football.

I'm thinking that France see Portugal as a threat that they can eliminate in the first round after that defeat to Germany today, me thinks their main striker Mbappé is playing like a currant and with Twinkle Toes on the pitch anything can happen, we should be in for a thriller.

As for Germany, they had to come good sooner or later and I wouldn't be surprised if the criticism they've had has geed them up to be one of the top contenders again.

Hehe, had my pizza, cleaned the kitchen, then a minute ago, 5 minutes to 9 p.m. I sat down and switched on the TV to watch the German match - and learned that they had played early and that it already was over since one hour...

Moonlight · 06-19-21, 04:38 PM

Spain 1-1 Poland, a well deserved draw for Spain today,

anything more would have been a travesty of justice, is it just me that finds Spain boring to watch?.

A win for Italy and Switzerland tomorrow.

Italy vs Wales
Switzerland vs Turkey
