Re: Euro 2024
I think Italy left some of it's best talent excluded here. Someone metioned Verratti who defo shouldve been picked. People dont like him but Berardi shouldve also been picked here. Italy certainly needed more creativity while in possession of the ball. Why play Scamacca if youre not gonna be able to feed him anything?

Re: Euro 2024
Best talent? Italy don't have any best talent. Do they have anyone who can dribble or hit consistent free kicks? Once upon a time they had a talent like Del Piero on the bench. Now its a bunch of off brand, Lecce type players they've got. They need to go back to the drawing board

I do agree that both can be true at the same time, and that might be the case here, but if I were to criticize the English media during international tournaments, it would be for their tendency to single out specific individuals to a hysterical level every time several of their players clearly fall short of meeting their expectations. If there’s racial profiling on top of it, that just adds insult to injury.
Then again, it’s no secret that they’re writing for the sake of riling people up and generating attention, and not so much for informative reasons. People do like to read about it, otherwise they would have changed their angle by now - but they seem to crank up the hysteria level instead.
Sports journalism during international tournaments in Scandinavia isn’t quite as hysterical and nonsensical, but it’s occasionally the same story of singling out players that are high-profile, but not necessarily guilty of being standout underperformers. People do like to read about it, even if they don’t agree with what’s being written.
i wouldn't say they "like" reading it

i'd say Barella, Dimarco and Bastoni are
but they just didn't play up to the level of Xhaka, Vargas, Akanji and Schar

This was a tactical problem i’ve decided the talent isn’t top but many good players just no balls or cohesion.
Spalletti is world class but has to walk after this.
I can’t decide if Venturas italy or spallettis were worse.
Why tf werent Verratti or Locatelli called up either
Wish Tonali was here too

Verratti playing in Qatar at 31... who woulda thought... did injuries ruin him? Should have been a generational top midfielder....

Southgate getting outmatched by Calzona.
If England wins it will be through individual brilliance by the players. But Gareth has made that very difficult for them in this system. If a system even exists here.

Can't wait to see England resort to good il' traditional hoofball to Kane and Bellingham if they don't score in the next 30 minutes. It is default settings to someone like Southgate. He will probably replace Kane by that time though
Let's see what happens.

Wow England are shit.
Just imagine you're the poor asshole with the ball and none of your teammates move an inch to get free.

Re: Euro 2024
Really something England All the past yrs u can argue other nations had even better golden generations/players, but this time even the bookies had Eng fav.... but this showing? Half watching but the commentator said no shot on target n its 80min....
All the crosses are way off... Slovakia playing well but still... England clearly still playing under too much pressure n they cant cope it seems?

IDK England are just... Bad? Like, altogether bad? Whoever gets the ball (mostly by accident or an individual summoning of willpower) just has nobody to pass to. I really hope they go out because I don't want to watch another match of theirs.

Individual brilliance, as I said is the only thing that fan save England.
Pathetic performance, undeserved.
They will score more now.
