Euro 2020

[Deutsch Wolf]

He allowed to flag once it goes in. He didn’t. You are right that he “may as well leave it down”, but that’s not the rule either. If he thinks it’s offside then he puts his flag up.

Aye, as he did for the disallowed Mbappé goal.

France would be unstoppable if they had a proper manager.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

More composure from Pogba in getting that ball out of his feet and Mbappé would have been onside. France should be out of sight really. Germany have been dire, even with much more possession second half.

I have no idea why they did the deal with Flick and then didn't install him for this tournament. Löw doesn't merit this final hurrah, they have been shite for years under him. He's picked such a weird squad as well.

Bit of a theme with international managers really.

I think a lot the best managers/coaches don’t want international management as it’s a very part time role most prefer the day to day running at club level.

 

[YoungWolf]

If Germany finish second would we get them in last 16 by finishing top of our group?

It also used to be better paid than club management, think Sven. It isn't now

Yes (but they won't finish second)

Yep

 

[PuntsWolf]

They’ve been woeful. So wasteful. Can’t see them finishing second.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Volland has been a bombscare since coming on.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Shouldn't be anywhere near the squad, a bizarre selection.

 

[sycophantia]

Think this is the worst German side as far as quality on the ball I've seen....France cruise to a win at about 60%

 

[Derby Wolf]

Looked like a competition winner.

 

[Dinowolf]

Germany will struggle to finish in the top two.

 

[jd1981]

It’s not as bad as the German side of the late 90’s to early 00’s but it’s not great at all.

It has been a long time since International football was the pinnacle of the game. It used to be that International football was the only chance you had to see the best players in the World playing with and against each other, but now the Champions League winning team would most likely piss all over the World Cup winners.

 

[YoungWolf]

All seems very unbalanced doesn’t it for them

Let's hope they pull something out the bag against Portugal.

Way more exciting and atmospheric though. There's too many games in the champions league which means European nights are no longer special.

 

[jd1981]

Real lack of invention the pressure to imposed was more due to France sitting in. They were very exposed from any counter attack to.
