Euro 2016

[Mellberg]

Isn't it generally accepted that Benteke's a far better fit for Belgium than Lukaku? Be interesting to see their win percentages with either striker. Actually, it wouldn't, but they always look awful in the big tournaments with Lukaku.

As for Italy, they're a nation of extraordinary pisstakers. Brilliant stuff.

[Serj]

While Lukaku was shit, Wilmots should just be sacked for putting Fellaini up behind the striker. I actually think he wasn't that bad, recycled the ball well and kept his composure a lot better than most people around him, but he offered nothing going forward and should be doing what he did around 20 metres further back, and even there he shouldn't be first choice. Bewildering.

[Disco]

That was the best match yet, are there any downsides to becoming Italian for a couple of weeks?

[Vim]

Fellaini wasn't the problem. He can work fine in a tight tournament game like this if he gets crosses.

The problem is that Belgium's game plan was to give the ball to either de Bruyne or Hazard and hope that they dribble their way into the net. There was no teamwork, none of the midfielders were making runs into the box (Giaccherini got the opener with one of those) instead they just stayed in two fixed banks in midfield hoping for some spark of genius.

[Serj]

But that's part of the problem with Fellaini. Why stick him up there if your gameplan doesn't include wingers who cross into the box?

[Lee]

I'm getting more and more buzzed the more I think about the game. The Italian way :drool:

I hate your happiness.

[Max Power]

Italy have the best defence and by far the best coach. No reason they can't win it

[Vim]

I hate your happiness.

England played well. :D

Best moment of the game was when Eder just dragged a Belgian down as he was running into an open field. I was clapping while the people in the table near me at the bar said "scheiße Italiener". On another table, three people who were rooting for Belgium the whole game just walked out when Pellè slammed in the 2-0.

[niko_cee]

I'd literally never heard of Jeff Hendrick until today.

Me either.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The difference between England and Italy is that when you lead 1-0 you dig the fuck in and bang one in on the break (reminded me of the 2006 semi-final, what a game), whereas we sit back and get done by some pale bloke in a bearskin hat sliding in on a toboggan with a half empty bottle of vodka at the back post.

[Lewis]

The problem is that, whilst Belgium have some good players, they are still Belgium, and they still have the sort of small-time mentality that means they will always attempt to shove as many of their names in as possible with no regard for the system. The most fitting comparison would be with how England used to approach rugby selection, but only about four people will get that, so call it the Gerrard-Lampard Effect.

[Mellberg]

For fuck sake Jim :D

[Vim]

You can win with names, as long as they don't think of themselves as names within the team. The Belgium coach clearly has no issue with having de Bruyne and Hazard just do whatever they want on the ball with no discipline. Making Hazard the captain instead of one of their few hard fuckers sums it up, really.

Our captain and vice-captains are Buffon, Chiellini and De Rossi. I count two fascists and one butcher.

[Ian]

Italy also have defenders with awareness. There was one long, looping cross to the back post which whatever Italy defender it was calmly took a step back and firmly headed it towards the sideline. Cahill or Smalling would have..... well, let a pale block in a bearskin hat, etc. get to the ball as it went over their head.

[Mellberg]

Why don't we have any centre backs who cam head a ball anymore? Is it because our acadmies are pretending to be French/Spanish/German/latest flsvour of the month?

[Yevrah]

England played well. :D

I really don't think we did.

[Jimmy Floyd]

When you see central defenders in youth teams - all of them, really, not just the English national team - they are all Rio Ferdinand wannabes sticking their foot on the ball and bursting past the midfield. Nobody just thinking about defending.

Huth and Morgan, the case for the prosecution.

Additionally, a shit load of them are midfielders until they're 16. Not Xavi? Over six foot? Have a go at centre half my boy.

Again, it's post-Rio.

[Lewis]

Rio Ferdinand stopped 'ball playing' in about 2005.

[John]

:D

Who said that?

Jonathan Pearce. It followed hot on the heels of a story about him spending an hour and a half drunk and unknowingly talking to himself in a mirror in 1994.

Proper commentary.

[Ian]

I watched the video of his goal-line replay meltdown the other day. It's still incredible.

[Lee]

I really don't think we did.

We didn't. We had some shots but only created one real chance, which was well saved from Rooney. And Russia are turd.

That was absolutely mental :cab: Just...what?

[Boydy]

The Republic of Ireland fans singing 'stand up for the Ulster men' on the 24th minute in tribute to the NI fan who died in Nice was a class act.

Unification through football. :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I watched the video of his goal-line replay meltdown the other day. It's still incredible.

I just watched it.

'Its changed its mind' gets me every fucking time.

[SvN]

I watched it a few days ago, but this has inspired me to watch it again.

"Which replay are we supposed to believe?" is my favourite bit.

[Max Power]

THEY'VE CHANGED THEIR MINDS NOW

Remember Richard Keys 'getting us another angle' on twitter as well. Great WC moment.

[John]

That was absolutely mental :cab: Just...what?

I'm not sure how mistaking yourself in a mirror for someone else leads to you also hearing your own voice on a ten second delay so that you'd mistake it for someone else. I've been in some fucked up places, and I know people who've been in even more fucked up places through drugs, but the closest I've ever heard to that is someone having a conversation with one of the 'Back to School' adverts in Tesco asking the eleven foot picture of a uniformed child how he got to be so big.

[Spoonsky]

I'm properly behind Italy after that (my Italian grandpa just died so eat a dick actual European people). Vintage performance. Belgium could use just one player who cares half as much as Buffon does.

The last two games were really enjoyable today. Can't wait for Iceland-Portugal tomorrow either.

[7om]

Could someone provide a link to the Jonathan Pearce meltdown?

[John]

Could someone provide a link to the Jonathan Pearce meltdown?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjIj_GlvLD4

No single video can really convey how mad it was, because he banged on about how it had called the usefulness of the system into question for the whole second half.

[Spoonsky]

They've changed their minds now :D

It's quite amusing to hear the color commentator try to explain it.

[7om]

Fuck me, I must have missed that at the time.

Why does he find it so difficult to understand the one off the post wasn't over the line but the keeper's gone and deflected it over the line? I've obviously not been exposed to Pearce for a while now so has he gone completely off the rails, or what?

[elth]

For some reason even with all their talent I don't trust Belgium to do anything in this tournament. They're completely empty shirts.

[Jimmy Floyd]

This is a decent read on what's happened to English defending - The lost art of defending: how style has replaced solidity in England’s DNA (https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jun/06/defending-england-dna-roy-hodgson-centre-backs-euro-2016)

Yeah, and the sort of urban mad skillz brah culture that seems to dominate youth football now, born on concrete five aside pitches because everyone has sold off the playing fields, hardly encourages a wide variety of footballers to come through.

[Bernanke]

So if Russian fans kick off again Russia are banned

[Disco]

I still can't believe they'd actually do it. Can you imagine the uproar over who gets what points in the group?

[Browning]

All 3 teams get 3 points from the Russia games, meaning all 3 will probably qualify. :cool:

That would actually be really shit, but at least it would illustrate how truly crap this format is. I want to see someone stumble through with 2 points. It's next to impossible, but still.

[Davgooner]

some pale bloke in a bearskin hat sliding in on a toboggan with a half empty bottle of vodka at the back post.

I had him more as a T-34 commander.

[Lee]

It only counts for stuff inside the stadium so they can still beat the shit out of everybody in Lille.

[Jimmy Floyd]

If they started hanging opposition fans from the stadium roof I still doubt they'd get many sanctions. Sport is about TV contracts, nothing more.

"The Russian Football Union expressed regret over the fighting and Russia's sports minister described those involved as a disgrace. But other senior officials have praised the hooligans openly as "real men".

I don't see anything terrible about fans fighting. Quite the opposite, the guys did well. Keep it up!" Igor Lebedev, nationalist MP and executive member of Russian Football Union

"The lads defended the honour of their country," Russian media quoted MP Igor Lebedev, who is also on the executive committee of the Football Union.
The spokesman for Russia's powerful Investigative Committee went even further.

"A normal man, as he should be, surprises them," tweeted Vladimir Markin, referring to European outrage at Russian hooligans. "They're used to seeing 'men' at gay parades," he concluded.

Based Russia :drool:

A lot of their main lot have been deported this morning by the look of things.

Whatever remains would be suicidal to try anything in Lille given the numbers of England/Wales there. Marseille was always going to be the prelude.

[Lewis]

Yeah, and the sort of urban mad skillz brah culture that seems to dominate youth football now, born on concrete five aside pitches because everyone has sold off the playing fields, hardly encourages a wide variety of footballers to come through.

So you're saying we need kids playing on full-sized pitches?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Full sized pitches and as few touches of the ball as possible.

[ItalAussie]

Yeah, and the sort of urban mad skillz brah culture that seems to dominate youth football now, born on concrete five aside pitches because everyone has sold off the playing fields, hardly encourages a wide variety of footballers to come through.

Let's be honest though. Most of these players have been in and around footballing academies since they were in single digits.

It's not like they just picked the best eleven off the streets and told them to have at it.

[Magic]

But Jamie Vardy though.

742465527428358144

:D

Anyone else see that?

[igor_balis]

Obvz the thing about youth development is that you need balance. It is really stupid that technically gifted players were rejected by teams in the past for being too small or whatever, but just as stupid if gritty, intelligent defensive players are being rejected now for being unable to play one-touch passing football.

Is part of the problem (one that will presumably grow) that dickheads see football more and more as an outlet for individual glory rather than a team sport? You even see proper grownups talking about if Ronaldo or Messi will win footballer of the year or whatever, like it fucking matters. Or has it always been a bit like that?

[Magic]

Of course it matters. Do you not remember debating footballer of the year '97 in school? I was adamant Sukor should have got it.

[igor_balis]

Nah I spent my school years being a cunt telling everyone how I was better than them for supporting my shit team rather than Man Utd like everyone else. I've not really changed.

[ItalAussie]

Depends what the academies subscribe to.

I struggle to imagine the Manchester United youth academy adopting the "mad skillz" street football project as its youth training model.

One drink for every time commentators mention the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Hungary's odds for the tournie were almost as bad as Albanias so I've got them as getting humped in every game.

Group F must surely be the group of death?

I've tipped this as a draw. Austria have more names but I'm hoping Hungary have some good togetherness.

[Magic]

That's pretty much what we've been doing for the last years. Unfortunately none of the players bar Fuchs are on form at the moment, so overall we're worse than a year ago, I'd say.

Indeed he is. We've got an alternative in Sabitzer who's not been better in the national team and Schöpf who is supposedly a big talent, but Koller doesn't really want to rotate. So, yeah. Anything productive coming from the right side of the pitch is pretty much out of the question.

[Max Power]

That Ronaldo Nike advert doesn't make sense. He switches bodies with the kid but they both have the footballing ability of Cristiano Ronaldo?

[John]

I had it in my head that Harnik was an old fashioned finisher type, but I must have him mixed up with someone else. He's barely looked like a footballer here.

[Serj]

I had it in my head that Harnik was an old fashioned finisher type, but I must have him mixed up with someone else. He's barely looked like a footballer here.

Nah, that's sort of right. He used to be our own shit version of Müller, in that he knew how to be in the right spot at the right time, but he's completely lost that recently. With the ball, he almost always makes the wrong decisions.

[Magic]

Lol Muller is a bit more than Lee Chapman mate.

[John]

Louis Saha is pointless as a pundit. There's absolutely no chance the average fan watching this is going to decipher that pidgin blather.

Nah, that's sort of right. He used to be our own shit version of Müller, in that he knew how to be in the right spot at the right time, but he's completely lost that recently. With the ball, he almost always makes the wrong decisions.

A bit of light Googling tells me I was thinking of Hosiner.

[Serj]

Ah, yeah. I think he was top scorer in our league at some point, don't know what became of him, actually (apparently sub appearances at Köln, better than I'd expected). Never really worked in the national team when they tried it.

[Spoonsky]

[Lewis]

That Ronaldo Nike advert doesn't make sense. He switches bodies with the kid but they both have the footballing ability of Cristiano Ronaldo?

In the longer version Ronaldo wakes up shit, but he regains his ability with a hard-work montage. The idea is that Ronaldo is the best because he works hard... But he is no longer Ronaldo. He's some dickhead black kid in another body, so wouldn't he just retire and get fat?

[John]

How on earth is that Okotie bloke an international footballer? He's fallen over every time he's got within about ten yards of the ball.

[Serj]

We haven't got any strikers, that's how.

Really impressed by Hungary.

Tidy finish.

[Lee]

Merse you racist bastard. All look the same, eh?

[Magic]

Iceland :cool:

Celebrate with a knee to the face n'all. Double hard Viking bastards.

I wanted to see the fishing celebration. :(

[The Merse]

He's Finnish you greaser cunt.

See the edit - I posted a bit quick when I meant Amigo... Scandi-racism is alive and well around here (all the same to me, mate).

Edit - shit, Lee beat me to the punchline too. Cunts, the lot of you.

[Magic]

Pen Mokky and Amigo being aliases of Maz is unexpected.

[Max Power]

Get Eidur on

[Magic]

Ronny greetin'. Beautiful stuff. Hopefully they get fucking stuffed by the empire too.

[Lee]

Ronaldo. :harold:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

tbf though, he does look like that Pen in that mugshot he posted ages ago.

[Pepe]

Ronaldo. :harold:

Is he crying yet?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Send the prick off.

[Amigo]

How is that not a red?

[Magic]

Pert definitely has a bit of Nazi blood in him, and not through rape either.

[Disco]

Is everyone else hearing some bastard with a whistle annoyingly close to a mic?

[Bartholomert]

Iceland are not this shit, I don't know why they are playing like this, it's like a FA Cup tie.

Feels like Portugal playing with 10 men. Ronaldo is not helping them at all.

[Kikó]

Giraffe tears will come good.

[Baz]

Still reeling from that Sigurdsson miss in the first half. :doh:

[Raoul Duke]

Ronaldo has probably had his brain swapped with some eejit 14-year-old again

[Magic]

Renato Sanchez looking every bit the £61m player he's become. :harold:

[Spikey M]

Hahahahaha

[Kikó]

Hal Dawson doing the family proud.

[Lee]

This is my favourite match so far. Today has been the best day I reckon.

[Spikey M]

Italy - Belgium for me, but this is only Ronaldo tears away from stealing it.

[Magic]

The Austro-Hungary game was my favourite.

[Manc]

That leap. :drool:

[Lewis]

Imagine looking at your bench and deeming Ricardo Quaresma the best option. It would be like us bringing Darius Vassell on.

[igor_balis]

loved the keeper's little wry smile there.

[Baz]

Hungary topping the group. :cool:

[Bernanke]

Portugal is such a waste of space.

[Lewis]

Go on, mate. Have a shot.

[Spikey M]

Straight at wall.

[Spikey M]

Fuck off Ref, I called it you mong.

[Lewis]

And another.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The ref has money on Portugal.

[Magic]

:harold:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ronaldo :harold:

[Spikey M]

Fuck off Ref, I called it you mong.

Lololololol

[Lewis]

Nani would have scored that.

[Magic]

:harold:!!!!

[Raoul Duke]

Ronaldo must have one of the lowest free-kick: goal ratios of anyone with his number of attempts :D

[leedsrevolution]

I'm down 40 quid so far which I'm not very happy about. Got 1-1 for this evening to try and redeem it.

Go me.

[niko_cee]

Is it just me or do there seem to be a lot of shots straight at the keeper these days/in this?

[Spoonsky]

And most of them have gone in.

[Amigo]

"They celebrated like they had won the Euro cup or something. That’s a small mentality. That’s why they’ll do nothing.” - 'CR7'

:harold: :harold: :harold:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:D

That's fucking brilliant.
