Yeah definitely, Denmark were the much stronger and sharper team. They deserved a victory really. England were playing like it was an inconvenient friendly.
Unless they do a Portugal 2016 I can't see them advancing past the last 16, I expect them to go out with a whimper which would be a travesty considering the talent they have, however you wouldn't think these were world class players domestically today.
You are Italian right?
I fixed your quote. In terms of population and facilities and our history, we are the biggest bottlers in the history of the World. I put it down to an inferiority complex, we are scared and feel inferior to Italians, Spanish, Brazilians, Argentinians, Dutch etc.
Him and set pieces was only way we had shots at Euros.
Kane is excellent at acting as a street lamp and selling popcorn to old people. How did he become professional? Too weak. hahaha 🤣
I’d do similar but drop Saka purely for the formation sake. Wouldn’t be a popular choice but yeah.
He's valuable and reliable in the moments you need him to be but he's ageing and is more of a Shearer/Sheringham type striker now, he can't run the way he used to and really needs someone to play off or to do the running for him. He was desperately isolated yesterday and came too deep just to get involved in the game. When he was younger he really was the complete player, could run, had pace and even was a great playmaker. Now he's more of a figurehead who 9/10 times would score if put on a plate for him.
This is a modern system I could see a more contemporary manager playing, after yesterday it's clear we need a balance of energetic youth to do the dog work and reliable experience to dictate the play. Wharton and Mainoo would be great shouts in that regard and even Gallagher who is a workhorse but just had an unlucky game last night would be more suitable.
No, I'm not.
I'm still doubtful about Portugal and France's chances. Portugal wasted so many chances on the first game vs Czechia. They only played well in the 2nd half. To make things even worse, they were trailed first before scoring two goals in the last minute of play. France's performances were also sluggish; their only positives was defense, spearheaded by N'Golo Kante. The Netherlands even deserved a victory really tonight, if it wasn't for that disallowed goal.
Apologies I thought you were Italian for some reason. Like i previously mentioned, they don’t play like an Italian team of the past. I think they qualify for knockouts but I don’t see them going past quarter final at the very most. Having said that, I’ve been totally wrong about teams so far in the tournament so who knows.
