Oh, that

wow @futbol_bill really ensured receipts where kept

Not going to be smug about this win for I just don't rate this France compared to the previous WC.

Deschamp's France was always pragmatic and calculative but this one is just stiff and almost hesitant in the way they play.

Individually they are no doubt better than us but I did say it won't make the difference given Spain is the only team who can make them uncomfortable and thats just what happened.

Deschamps has done well but they need someone new who can drive their team to use their actual talent.


Fabian has been the player of the tournament by far.

VAMOS!!!

I also think Fabian has been the player of the tournament. Goalscorer always get more exposure though. Unlucky for him

It's crazy. There isn't a single player in this tournament where you think "we have to buy that player". Overall it's been quite dull honestly.

Young players have shown their quality like Yamal, Arda and Mamardhasvili (although he was already well known in LaLiga) probably Musiala too and some ok players have played well above their usual showings like Fabian, Curcurella, Gakpo but none you'd want at your team if we are being honest.

While the top top players have all flopped given what has been expected of them like Mbappe, Jude, KDB, Kane etc.

Hoping players get a good rest or they won't be able to handle the load next season

Fantastic post Hala but merely camping for Sports to either rationalise this defeat or spew his anger on what needs to happen with this team.

@Arq, if Sports keeps to form, we won’t see him for weeks and when he returns, he won’t say anything about this, pretending he didn’t see these posts and likely no mention of game.

Sports we know you are reading this, when you return sometime around mid-August Bill & I will be waiting for you here to haunt you about what happened...


As for the final I still see England winning despite Spain being a considerably better team for Southgate's England just find any way to win be it luck, their individual brilliance or just experience in latter ends of tournaments.


And yes, England, not Netherlands. I dont rate this Netherlands at all as Koeman is a shit coach so not even giving the respect of giving them a chance.

Avoiding to throw that word out there but man, Zidane must be really disliked by the FFF

@arq, I’m for Holanda and in the final, we will not be denied with either of them. This is our year!

Ahah congratulations hermano send pics if you can and it is!

Surely its England vs Spain for the final? If Koeman knocks out England with that average team it would be one of the more worst flops again for England... wouldnt be surprised, but dont think it will happen... Netherlands has Depay leading their attack ffs.... I know I said same thing with Morata with Spain But they dont have a Yamal

Anyway, no matter how shit Southgate is making England or whatever, England win tonight Then as everyone has seen, should be Spain winners then? Unless England all of a sudden play a top top game n make history?

They don't have Yamal but they have Gakpo

Im betting on Nederlands to go through

Xavj Simmons

What a goal by simons

Just tuned in to see Simons goal replay, da fuk

Netherlands dont even have an DM? Or a 9 either... fking Koeman XD

Netherlands under siege at the moment by England. For once england feels like a proper team rather than a mercenaries

Netherlands quite literally parking the bus now

God Koeman is SUCH an epically shit coach. By far the worst in post group
stage euros.
Foden is ripping them by the seams what a game from him.

Cucurella - Olmo - Simons - Yamal

La Masia is lighting up these Euros

Foden's having a great game, so far. Seems a bit strange for Trippier to get substituted so early.

Just tuned in, and the first thing I see is that Southgate finally worked some things out? Things that GL posters worked out games ago.

The changes has allowed Foden to flourish and they're more entertaining to watch, but I can't honestly say that they look like the team that everyone expects them to be considering the level of talent that they possess. The second half has been like watching paint dry.

That halftime talk by koeman must have done wonders because they look very different team now. They could nick it

Huh... Foden n Kane has been relatively well.... Bellingham been flopping from what Ive seen but stays.. Southgate clearly his last minute goals voodoo magic
