Digby Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 The Eriksen thing was the scariest thing I’ve ever seen during a sporting event and I couldn’t stop thinking about it watching other games, honestly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminded me of Marc Vivian-Foe at the Confederations Cup, I believe 2005? Watching that, I appreciate what Eriksen's teammates did because Vivian-Foe wasn't given the same respect or level of assistance. Netherlands/Ukraine had a beautiful second half and Dumfries saved Frank de Boer from wearing egg on his face after the Dutch blew a 2-0 lead. England played football today and that's pretty much all you can say about them today. Southgate not playing Shaw or Chill well at LB, instead putting a MF back there was dumb as hell. Fortunately Croatia had no teeth today. Copa America opened today and it took Brazil a minute to get past Venezuela. We're back to crowd noise being pumped back in to stadiums.

North Macedonian team says he also racially disparaged a member of the team who is ethnic Albanian. I figured something was up when Alaba grabbed him by the mouth.

MJWalker45 Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 Chile has covered their Nike logos with the Chilean flag. Apparently Nike is withholding cash because they didn't play 10 games last year. Not sure why an agreement hadn't been redone before now. https://twitter.com/EleteTSC/status/1405983526181351437?s=19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlin Wall Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Great game by Scotland yesterday. They had the better opportunities against the Three Lions. I really hope both will advance to the next round! 1 Quote I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010.

England will most likely get through with 4 points but they have not looked particularly good in either match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berlin Wall Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I still have no idea who will win this tournament. There seems to be no real favorite thus far. I'm hoping for England though, but I'm guessing Italy. Quote I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010.

Until Southgate moves away from playing too safe with his squad, England will settle for another third-place finish judging from the first two group stage games. In this era of football, offense-based tactics are more likely to win you games (and attract crowds, too). Especially when you can successfully capitalize on good chances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 So Spain went up 3-1, just to give up the tying goal in added time. i really feel like that wouldn't have happened with David De Gea in goal. Especially the own goal that popped over Simon's foot and into the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadragon76 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I wonder if scripts get stolen between teams in the European championships, because this game between France and Switzerland is going the same way Croatia and Spain went.. Spain was up 3-1 in the 2nd half, the Croatia scored twice late to send it to extra time when Spain decided that enough was enough and scored twice to put the pesky Croats away 5-3. Now, the same thing is happening here: France was up 3-1 in the 2nd half only for the Swiss to come roaring back to tie the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
