Arena EURO 2020 - The Official Discussion Thread

At least they have a nice day for the match. Be nice if England win.

 

Trippier will not be on the left 2nd half. His vampireness forbids it

 

Kane keeps dropping too deep.

We're not using the wings enough and we're too slow pushing forwards



EDIT


STERLING

 

Yeah I was about to say I don't know why Sancho isn't playing instead.

Great ball by Phillips, he's really stepped up today

 

Just over 12 more minutes - don't do anything stupid, England..

 

Mount is a great player

I don't really rate Phillips but he's been exceptional today so far. A bit more of that and I may change my mind on him.

Sterling should have done better with that volley though

 

Kane has been getting a few knocks out there, might better to take him off and rest him for the next game.

 

Bellingham on, Kane off


I think he heard you

 

Pickfords distribution is bobbins

free kick straight out for a throw in. Thats just poor

 

Deserved England win, Croatia was really bad definitely regressed since WC 2018.

 

Yes!

 

It's a good start.

 

Anyone know who was Captain at the end?

 

Good win, I'll take it.

Very pragmatic and solid line up. Not great going forwards and kept slowing down when they should have hammered the counter attack.

Scotland on Friday. We should win BUT as it's Scotland and they'll raise their game, it'll be much harder than it should be.

 

He was subbed, I suspect it went to Walker or Stones after he went off but thats a pure guess

 

Croatia lost Rakitic, Subasic & Mandzukic since the WC and Modric & Perisic are over 30.

They aren't the team they once were.

Still good quality players, but they didn't seem to have any urgency.

 

Oh shush, Richie. I don't think there's any doubt that this game is (on paper) the toughest game in the group. We won it. Be happy.

Never in any doubt! (wipes forehead)

He was brilliant.
