Arq, not only in this game but several others, I think 2 in the group play. For all the raves Yamal gets (he deserves a lot of credit, particularly considering his age, I’m more impressed with Nico. He more so than Yamal, makes this direct approach work! That’s not to diminish what Rodri, Fabian, Olmo, Pedri, Laporte and the 2 laterals the contributions they make to the direct attack

Southgate dismissed today

I agree with you Bill well said.

And good riddance for Southgate. For all of those speaking of his record well he didn't well win a thing. Most talented squad in the world and played like the bonafide loser he is. Clown

Goalkeeper

Mike Maignan (France)

Defenders

Kyle Walker (England)

William Saliba (France)

Manuel Akanji (Switzerland)

Marc Cucurella (Spain)

Rodri (Spain)

Dani Olmo (Spain)

Fabián Ruiz (Spain)

Forwards

Lamine Yamal (Spain)

Jamal Musiala (Germany)

Nico Williams (Spain)

Glad Maignan got the shout for the best GK he was outstanding and is arguably the best GK in the world if not top 3.

Walker is deserved indeed as no one else was special for England by any means for their top stars were all meh.

Saliba deserves his as well as Ive said for a while he's the best CB in the world.

The rest is obvious.

Which is such a shame because there were great games in the group stage, but then having to watch England and France again, and again...

This Euro was terrible thing needs to die for the latter stages of the cup from quarter finals and beyond featured some very good football to the final.

by Warrior Fri Jul 19, 2024 5:06 pm

I'd prefer 32 teams euro with 8 groups

I don't think it will improve the quality of play by that much, but i'm fed up with this fraudulent format where 3rd place teams advance

The same Walker who was at fault (or part of being at fault) with the goals conceded in the KO stage and the final.

Meanwhile, Dani's only real blemish was the sending off vs Germany. Terrible omission. Also, Gapko over Musiala but I assume you needed to have a German there as the host nation.

Im guessing they didn't want to squeeze in too many Spanish players because they would end up with the Espana XI Laughing

That's what I think too but still. Crazy that this was his first ever Euro. He has had an injury nightmare whenever CL finals/international tournaments arrive.
