GasPed Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Denmark v Germany, 0 - 0 after 35', on a weather break right now. But high quality soccer from both sides, very entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kacbru Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 A proper thunderstorm. Denmark was lucky to absorb the early pressure and we're starting to generate some chances. Interesting to see how they respond to the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted Sunday at 02:42 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:42 PM Is that the worst Italy of my lifetime? (40ish years). They were so terrible and never looked close to threatening. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted Sunday at 03:41 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:41 PM Southgate throws another midfielder against the wall and sees if it sticks. Mainoo in with Rice. Hate to pile on but not sure I have ever seen a high level coach at a top tournament admit he didn't know what he was doing so openly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted Sunday at 04:31 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:31 PM Was not going to comment the goal, but there is a detail I like about Slovakia that I was going to apply to us, but thinking of them as the underdog, like us. They are extremely good at measuring whether they are getting to a tackle or not, the containment in defensive holding is excellent. That is the kind of simple maturity I'd like to see more from us. Then, when they have the ball, they do nothing amazing, just keep it moving, find their man, advance. But I really like how you can contain as a block, hold, know that there is no place to put a foot in and stand between your man and his passes.

And every single player is physically confident, serene, the whole temperament of the team is so even. Love to see us get to that kind of smoothness, thinking of how we were unstable a man up in two matches we needed to keep a result.

Unnamed Trialist Posted Sunday at 08:00 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:00 PM So if anyone is watching Spain, one of the crispest teams in the Euros: there's one player playing unexpectedly great, probably not even thought of as a Spain starter, but having a surprising tournament.

I have no idea, but I will say their wingers are both the youngest (at a combined age of 37) and the best I've seen in this tournament so far. 😲 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navas is older than both combined. I'm thinking Cucurella is killing it, he's been outrageously good.
