Re: EUROS thread. The quarter finals

England are having so much luck, they might well win this




Or maybe they've used up all their luck getting this far.

Re: EUROS thread. The quarter finals

There could be a load of reasons why a player looks below par playing for an international side. Messi didn't always light up world cups yet was one of the best players of all time. No disputing that.

You of all people should know better.

Im not one of those "fck you english" welsh knobheads...but this would kill me. England are so insanely anti football it would be criminal for them to lift the trophy. Southgate is englands Bulut.

England have the best team in the tournament and maybe the world on paper. But as with Bulut...there is this manger obsession to force them to play in a way that clearly does not suit them.

They dont perform like they do in the PL because..THEY ARE NOT PLAYING THE TACTICS THEY DO IN THE PL. so like with bulut, its the manager 100% atm and its very hard to blame players for struggling to play a shit dinosaur tactic.

France are the same. Cmon Holland vs Spain final.

Re: EUROS thread. The quarter finals

I'm starting to think their players aren't even that good.

We've been brainwashed by the marketing wizzkids at Sky that keep ramming down our throats that the PL is the best around and the players are the best.

Is it just familiarity in them that makes us think they are decent? I know a few on here watch every game of football across Europe but I don't know hardly any players from other nations but they all seem just as capable as the English lot.

I don't think its a case of them not being that good, just other teams being under estimated as their players are less familiar to British football fans

I think a few of the England players are a touch overrated, especially by the press, but that's true of all teams and their national media

Re: EUROS thread. The quarter finals

Holland won the last two knockout games scoring five in 90 minutes.

England drew both their games teams scoring two goals.

They needed extra time twice and penalties once, all those extra minutes will take their toll and they will be leggy and burnt out, Holland should win comfortably, as the games come quick and fast.

Spain- Holland Final, Spain deserves to win as the best team, the Germans wee the second best but unlucky with the draw.

Therefore, you were even more inaccurate in your original claim than I gave you credit for. Excellent.

I have to say I’m greatly amused by the way in which you regularly attempt to make the outcome of football matches sound so simple. You did it throughout last season and with very little success as I recall.

Keep up the good work.

Never predictable, I thought the Swiss would probably beat them. England are strong favorites so should win according to the bookies, who are rarely wrong, because of the extra time they could be wrong on this one, but I couldn't care either way.

If you're talking about Wednesday's game, England are indeed favourites, but not strong favourites.

Paddy Power England 6/4 Holland 21/10, they have them as strong favourites, and all the rest are similar.

You think 6/4 in a three-horse race equates to a strong favourite? If so, I guess you're not a betting man.
