The Euro 2024 Thread

[Jinky]

I once went to a Match of the Day Live exhibition at the NEC, probably 20+ years ago. Known was one of the guest speakers on the main stage. He was the dullest, most inarticulate speaker I've ever seen. He has had a personality bypass.

It’s well Keown that Known is a monotone gimp.

Fucking autocorrect...

Didn't see much of the 1st half, but jao cancello is giving an attacking rwb masterclass here.

"Pepe gets an arm out and shelows him down enough".

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Stop. Letting. Him. Take. Free. Kicks.

 

[Johnny75]

Bobby Brown shoes is a coward not taking that sham of a forward off.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Direct free kick goals are dying. Still none in this tournament (?) Way down in the Prem last season too, amazing that clubs still persist with them rather than trying something more intricate.

Pepe is such a good player, his readi g of the game at the back is superb.

Must be a decade since he was any good at them now? Someone should just run in and take it while he's poncing about doing his Superman stance.

I’m one of those who feel embarrassed for other people when they say ridiculous stuff, Keown does it regularly.

It's when he's in his natural habitat

Easily that long, maybe even 15 years.

Roberto Carlos was the same before him. Lording over them for Real while they had Figo, Zidane and Beckham watching on.

More the Tory power stance these days

Portugal take off Vitinha and Leao, 2 of their best and most dangerous players

 

[Wolftone]

My mrs reckons Vitinha reminds her of Manuel from Fawlty Towers. More Charlie Chaplin, I would have thought.

Saw a great clip the other day of Ronaldinho sneaking in and knocking one in top corner whilst Carlos was pacing out his ridiculous run up. Surprised someone like Fernandes hasn't done that tonight, I'd back to him have tested Oblak more on any of the efforts Ronaldo has tried tonight.

Whatever happened to the biannual ‘tournament ball is a beach ball’ complaints as free kicks weaved in?

Is this a better or worse performance by Portugal than us against Slovenia?

They've passed it way better than we did but a similar lack of real threat

They're self inflicting a problem by playing 10 men and a footballing pensioner

 

[Squeak]

Portugal's forward line is pretty static. No-one making runs or creating space. Easy to defend really.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I love Jota, genuinely think he could play as a makeshift ball winning midfielder.
