11 goals in their 5 games, wish we were struggling as 'badly' as they are

Yep, it was a stupid thing to say. Tbf 7 of those were against 2 poor sides, they're obviously good at put the rubbish away. I'm sticking with my forecast for the final though.

They seem to create a lot and miss a lot.
They will struggle against the better teams.

Struggled to score v Albania, and Germany.
There centre forwards are really wasteful

Very short odds on Bellingham getting booked.

I'd rather create loads and miss, than create nothing at all. They may struggle against the better sides, but we've struggled against the weaker ones

The Albania game they played their 2nd team.

They scored 2 against a good German side.

They're not struggling at all.

But what about decades old cliches though

No arguments there. If we created as much with the quality we have would have scored loads.

We are creating very little, but we have world class players that create a bit of magic that's gets you through games

And you don't think Spain have world class players?

We have 1 win in 90 minutes this tournament. We've been complete shite.

THIS IN SPADES

Morata, would not get in any team left in the competition neither would Yamal and Williams, though the latter I really like
Rodri is superb and up there with the best.
It's having world class players in positions that can win games.

Spain attack is not great, Misses too many Morata should have scored 3 v Germany, Admittedly when Germany were chasing the game at 1 down, his touch to take him clean through was world class, while finish Sunday League.

I Fancy France to turn them over they have 2 suspended, and one out Injured.

It will be interesting to see what the players coming in do.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yamal would get in any team in world football, club or country. And he's 16.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I think we'll lose to Spain in the final after 90 mins.

 

[The Bear]

I'd take Yamal over Bergwijn and Williams over Foden at the minute.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Yamal would get in any team in world football, club or country. And he's 16.

Would you take him over
Mbappe
Griezman
Sakha
Kane
Foden
Bellingham
Gapko
I would not

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

On club form from last season?

Bellingham
Gapko

Most of those don't play wide right, he is way better than the 2024 version of Griezmann (he's 33 now) and any version of Cody bloody Gakpo.

 

[Alan]

Griezmann has looked bloody awful this tournament imv.

He still would not get in England's starting team, Nor France's

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Griezmann has looked bloody awful this tournament imv.

He has, but he has had a great season. Are we now saying if you don't play well in this tournament your shit.

By that yardstick

Neither England, France, Portugal have any good players
