Euro 2024: The Knockouts

[Danny]

Thiago packing it in apparently.

[Adramelch]

That was the kick-off.

Even better. Bellingham levels.

[Manc]

Thiago packing it in apparently.

For the best. 330 games for club and country spanning 15 seasons.

[Magic]

Bielsa. :(

I will always love this man. The absolute antitheses of terrorball.

[niko_cee]

Whilst he's right, I'm not sure the manager of Uruguay can ever be holding court on the ills of terrorball.

International football has always been negative shitfest heavy, it's just more stark now because the club game has gone the other way.

[Magic]

Scored more goals than anyone else in the Copa.

[Danny]

Anyone else not named Colombia.

[Pepe]

Uruguay actually played semi-attacking football. The shithousery was still there, but then that is Latin American football for you.

Colombia has been looking good and they got lucky with that Panama draw. Canada being the best Concacaf team followed by Panama is pretty lol. Bodes well for 2026.

[John Arne]

At this stage, I reckon I'd prefer AI Southgate in charge.

1809930220234780865

[niko_cee]

Luke Shaw is fit and raring to go apparently.

Bet Trippier still starts.

[Spikey M]

Shaw was useless when he came on. Off the pace and out of position for their 2 biggest chances. I don't want him anywhere near the pitch.

[Lewis]

You get that when he's 100%, so if he can put a decent cross in at some point it might be worth it.

[randomlegend]

Shaw was useless when he came on. Off the pace and out of position for their 2 biggest chances. I don't want him anywhere near the pitch.

Surprising really, given his last game was a mere 4 months ago.

Southgate's genius really does know no bounds. Bringing only one natural left back who has been injured since February. Exceptional. Extraordinary.

[Boydy]

You get that when he's 100%, so if he can put a decent cross in at some point it might be worth it.

To whom?

[Pepe]

To an own goal.

[niko_cee]

A German referee once criticised over his match-fixing past by Jude Bellingham will officiate England's European Championship semi-final against the Netherlands on Wednesday.

Excellent.

[Jimmy Floyd]

A very controversial appointment (not necessarily for that reason), the bald Pole was thought to have that one in the bag.

[Manc]

The Germans definitely hate the Dutch more than Ingerland when it comes to football.

[Magic]

Missing the first half because I booked some stupid concert not realising what day it was. :moop:

[Adramelch]

It will be boring, don't worry. Even Germany-Spain was mostly boring in the first half and France will make it even more of a certainty.

[Manc]

Mbappe not doing Mbappe things makes this French setup pointless. They should sack him off and go with Barcola.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What if France actually turn up tonight? It surely has to happen at some point.

[Waffdon]

Rabiot ball will be back and I for one cannot wait.

:sick:

[Manc]

Navas-Nacho-Laporte-Cucurella

:harold:

[SincereTheRebel]

Giroud injured or something?

[Shindig]

What if France actually turn up tonight? It surely has to happen at some point.

All it'll take to halt it is a knock to Mbappe's face.

[Baz]

Navas-Nacho-Laporte-Cucurella

:harold:
Navas. :cool:

That french Spaniard and Carvajal are suspended, but Grimaldo must be seething.

[Waffdon]

Mbappe hat trick

[Manc]

100/1. Not unthinkable.

[Adramelch]

Jesus Navas had already won two Europa Leagues before Yamal was born. Spain's right side ladies and gentlemen.

[Pepe]

I hope Spain scores one early or this will surely turn into a complete shitfest.

Even better, I hope Spain puts four past them.

[niko_cee]

Jesus Navas had already won two Europa Leagues before Yamal was born. Spain's right side ladies and gentlemen.

Average age 27, perfect.

Great, one sitter missed already.

[Pepe]

Cucurella getting booed. :D

[Adramelch]

I hope Spain scores one early or this will surely turn into a complete shitfest.

Even better, I hope Spain puts four past them.

Good job Pepe. Are you happy?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Well that's going to make things spicy.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Their first goal from open play that wasn't an OG.

[Adramelch]

A lot of that is on Navas. Played Mbappe onside and proceeded to not mark him at all.

Great move from France though.

[Pepe]

That defense is going to suffer all day. I think the most boring final ever is on.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Odds on Navas making it to the second half?

[Pepe]

He definitely does not look up for it at full back.

[Adramelch]

He should be subbed off immediately. Navas on a yellow against Mbappe is just asking for trouble.

[Shindig]

I hope this German crowd turns up for the England game. :D

There you go, kid. It's off your back now.

[Lewis]

About time one of them went in.

[Adramelch]

:drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh shit, I guess he does know where the goal is after all.

[Waffdon]

What a freak

[Pepe]

What an incredible strike.

[Pepe]

Odds of him being like one of those Africans and actually being 28?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Odds of him being like one of those Africans and actually being 28?

Born in Spain so it's unlikely.

[Shindig]

France are done for. :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That is filthy control from Olmo.

[Waffdon]

Some game

[Pepe]

Olmo :cool:

[Manc]

I always thought Olmo was Croatian.

[7om]

Olmo has outrageous close control. So good.

[Pepe]

France are done for. :D

I don't know, the Spanish defense cannot hold, can it?

[Adramelch]

He's been the best player in the tournament by quite some margin, and it took an injury for him to start.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I always thought Olmo was Croatian.

Well he spent a few years at Dinamo Zagreb when he was a youth.

[Waffdon]

Who are the players at risk for missing final)

[Baz]

Olmo has outrageous close control. So good.

Better than Mainoo? :harold:

[Baz]

Who are the players at risk for missing final)

Anyone who gets a red. Yellows are wiped clean after the Quarters

[Lewis]

I always thought Olmo was Croatian.

Proper left-field career path. He's surely due a big move sooner rather than later.

[Magic]

:moop:

[Adramelch]

:moop:

Would you per chance be interested in free concert tickets for tomorrow and Sunday?

[Pepe]

Proper left-field career path. He's surely due a big move sooner rather than later.

I thought he was a 'Barça' wonderkid, not some weirdo league player.

[Magic]

Would you per chance be interested in free concert tickets for tomorrow and Sunday?

I actually really enjoyed it. Viennese philharmonic.

Found a great bar to watch the second half shitfest.

[niko_cee]

The weight of Yamal's passing is unreal. The ball he played in to Ruiz when he had that deflected shot wide was sublime, and it's not the first time he's done that sort of thing. Hopefully Spain leave Williams and Yamal on long enough and rinse the French on the break. Olmo also continues to be superb.

lol at Rabiot's Yamal comments they just read out on the beeb. The gift that keeps on giving.

[Pepe]

Olmo, Yamal, and Williams are excellent. Then there is Morata. :D

[Magic]

Steffen Freund on the panel here. :sick:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

My Nan very lucky.

[igor_balis]

The Germans turning up to the semi to boo cucurella is proper spurs behaviour.

[igor_balis]

My Nan very lucky.

Assume she must have other grandchildren!!

[Magic]

The Germans turning up to the semi to boo cucurella is proper spurs behaviour.

I'd agree with the tinpotness but they are hosting the tournament so...:D

[Adramelch]

Olmo, Yamal, and Williams are excellent. Then there is Morata. :D

Add Ruiz and Rodri to that list. Then you have the polar opposite of Morata and their entire defence.

[igor_balis]

I'd agree with the tinpotness but they are hosting the tournament so...:D

Surely you'd just sell the fucking ticket

[Adramelch]

Apparently Navas is older than Yamal's father. :D

[Spikey M]

How has he missed that?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Apparently Navas is older than Yamal's father. :D

Pepe is 7 years older than Yamal's Dad.

[Magic]

This has been awful.

[igor_balis]

This has been awful.

First half was good mate

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What a bullshit foul.

[Spikey M]

How is that a foul? :D

[Lofty]

Giroud AGS @ 8/1, he loves a clutch goal.

[Magic]

First half was good mate

:baz:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mbappe :harold:

[Spikey M]

Mcrappe.

[Magic]

There's a French guy next to me who's been shaking his head constantly the entire time I've been here. :drool:

Edit: it might be at me on reflection

[Luke Emia]

Gutless from the French.

[Spikey M]

RIP the best work sweepstake team I've even had. :(

Fucking surrender monkeys.

[Magic]

That is England guaranteed not to win, at least.

[Lewis]

Shit without Paulp Ogba.

[Pepe]

Spain :cool:

[Magic]

Did Geerude even touch the ball. Cunt.

[Spikey M]

That is England guaranteed not to win, at least.

We were never beating France either.

Probably won't even make it past Holland

[Waffdon]

England beat Spain in a final.

Hopefully it doesn’t come to that.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The frog days are over,
The frog days are done.

[Waffdon]

If England lose tomorrow it could be an end of an era of Dechamps and Southgate ball. Pray.

[niko_cee]

Mbappe :harold:

Did Jenas say it was Unbappé-like after that?

The beginning of the end for shitball.

I wonder if the French are the same as us, wondering what it is all for after watching their team shit their way through a tournament for nothing for the third time in a row.

Spain caught a heavy dose of tournament football in that second half. Fabian Ruiz is a fabulous player but he isn't half casual at times. If England get to the final we're in for another midfield molestation. :(

[Spikey M]

If England lose tomorrow it could be an end of an era of Dechamps and Southgate ball. Pray.

Oh my sweet summer child.

[niko_cee]

Was that a secret Spain spy trying to nobble Morata in the aftermath?

[Manc]

Mcrappe.

Mflappe.

[Magic]

Haste ye to the French football forums.

[-james-]

The pan European seethe if England win it :harold:

[Shindig]

Tiki Taka being undone by a succession of sideways and backwards passing would be a bizarre spectacle.

[Pepe]

If England lose tomorrow it could be an end of an era of Dechamps and Southgate ball. Pray.

Deschamps is probably thinking that they should have defended even deeper when they went ahead right now.

[Spikey M]

Deschamps is probably thinking that they should have defended even deeper when they went ahead right now.

I fear Jimmy's plantation theory could explain the issues they've been facing rather well.

[Kikó]

The pan European seethe if England win it :harold:

Are you going to be the smuggest man alive if they win?

[SvN]

I hope we win just so Yev will shut the fuck up about it.

[wullie]

Getting to the final would be lovely, but avenging Ronald Koeman in the name of Graham Taylor would be the real prize. Imagine Carlton Palmer watching with a tear in his eye.

[Waffdon]

Are you going to be the smuggest man alive if they win?

For predicting the pre tournament favs to win?

[Magic]

Who are the three other cucks that voted Spain way after I did? Cowards.

[niko_cee]

I feel the equilibrium between resigned despair and abundant optimism is shifting somewhat. Heard Three Lions on Radio One this morning. I take these as ill omens.

Even saw a Danny Murphy thinkpiece on how the Dutch might leave spaces for us to exploit.

At least they don't seem to have a midfielder of any real note available to play.

[-james-]

Are you going to be the smuggest man alive if they win?

iirc the only thing I've ever said is "England are good enough to win a tournament" which has already clearly been proven right

[Yevrah]

iirc the only thing I've ever said is "England are good enough to win a tournament" which has already clearly been proven right

In what way has it been proven right? Losing in a final, a semi-final and a quater-final?

[-james-]

In what way has it been proven right? Losing in a final, a semi-final and a quater-final?

In my world view, being a few ~random events away from something happening is proof enough that the thing can happen, or could have.

[Yevrah]

Rafael Benitez did have what it takes to win the Premier League after all then.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

In what way has it been proven right? Losing in a final, a semi-final and a quater-final?

Don't forget all the piss easy runs and general luck Southgate has had.

[phonics]

Rafael Benitez did have what it takes to win the Premier League after all then.

Considering he won La Liga and multiple Champions Leagues. Probably.

[wullie]

If you lose a final on penalties I don't think it's outlandish to say you were good enough to win it.

[-james-]

Don't forget all the piss easy runs and general luck Southgate has had.

I have been fairly pro-Southgate during his reign but this is either irrelevant or supporting evidence. Despite being managed by Southgate, a half brained retard, England have managed to get pretty close.


Rafael Benitez did have what it takes to win the Premier League after all then.

Four matches of knockout football ≠ 38 matches of premier league football, but yes

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

1810898678393016796

[Waffdon]

Watching an England semi final in Mallorca will either be a disgusting experience or absolutely hilarious. ‘Mon the latter.

[Giggles]

In what way has it been proven right? Losing in a final, a semi-final and a quater-final?

Of course that means they're good enough to win it. You only need a couple of things to bounce your way at that stage.

[Pepe]

I hope we win just so Yev will shut the fuck up about it.

Win or lose, Yev will not be silenced.

[Yevrah]

Of course that means they're good enough to win it. You only need a couple of things to bounce your way at that stage.

I think that vastly underestimates the hurdle one has to overcome to win a major tournament and the size of said hurdle when it's your first time. I agree we were very close in 2021 in some senses, but to actually win that final we would have had to fundamentally change our approach in the second half, which is no small thing. A Semi-final and Quarter-Final are not close and therefore not remotely proof that England are good enough to win a major tournament.

And let's be clear, the main factor that sees us in this semi-final (and by some margin) is the incredibly favourable draw we've had. We've been bilge.

[Yevrah]

Win or lose, Yev will not be silenced.

He's obsessed with me.

If we do win then Sir Gareth will be vindicated in his approach and I'll just have to take that on the chin, but we won't and it'll be another (what should have been good opportunity) wasted.

[Yevrah]

In other news and in fairness to Sir Gareth, I was impressed with some of his words yesterday around penalties absolutely not being luck or a lottery. That that thinking seems to have been pervasive in the national consciousness for decades probably goes some way to explaining why we've been so bad at them.

[Yevrah]

In other news and in fairness to Sir Gareth, I was impressed with some of his words yesterday around penalties absolutely not being luck or a lottery.

Oh and him supposedly banning his players from talking about their approach to them with the media. Absolutely bang on that.

[Yevrah]

If you replace Southgate with Science it's like being back in the pandemic.

Which I was right about all over the shop as well.

Look at the stick I got for saying three years ago that Southgate should leave after Euro 2021 and look at how many people want him gone now. All the evidence was there by that point, which admittedly could still be proven wrong should he pull this tournament off, but if he doesn't, we'll have not won it having had a very favourable draw again and with the added bonus of playing not football.

[Kikó]

Sorry I caused this.

[wullie]

I agree we were very close in 2021 in some senses, but to actually win that final we would have had to fundamentally change our approach in the second half, which is no small thing.

Just taking better penalties would have done it.

[-james-]

Unless the way England play radically changes during the last game or two, I don't think your opinion on Southgate should change at all based on the result of them. Didn't Manchester United get lolled at for keeping Ten Hag for winning the cup final?

[John Arne]

What's the deal tonight? Back to 442, or sticking 532?

Personally, I'd stick with 532, but replace Walker with Guehi.
Shaw LWB and Saka RWB. The rest as they were. Well, actually Watkins for Kane, but that's deffo not happening.

[niko_cee]

Guehi back in for Konsa will be the only change.

[Waffdon]

The Dutch midfield 2/3 have been mostly awful this tournament so England’s midfield may actually look alright for once. An interesting game either way as you’d say Dutch have the much better defence (individually anyway).

Scored a decent amount of goals though and Gakpo having his Muller tournament so far

[Danny]

I agree we were very close in 2021 in some senses, but to actually win that final we would have had to fundamentally change our approach in the second half, which is no small thing.

We played 4-2-3-1 against everyone but the Germans and Italians. Had we brought Grealish on at half time and gone back to it I think we win. Someone to get the ball to feet, get us out of our own box and prevent the wave of attacks.

I supposed that is an "attacking change" and would be a fundamental mentality change for Southgate....

Fucking Mumsnet of football in here. It's fucking coming home, Sir Gareth gets a statue outside Wembley, we smash up Germany. There's a reason this great nation turned over half the world into fucking cucks. Fuck Spain, Fuck Holland. Let's absolutely shite our way to glory.

I'm looking forward to this much more than last night. Should be a good game.

I'm not saying I'd necessarily want to keep him, but if he wins a tournament then he's been a success as a manager.

[Ben]

You'd think he goes at the end of this tournament whatever the outcome, for varying reasons.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Absolute nailed on certainty to take over at the USMNT.

[Yevrah]

Supposedly he turned down a two year extension ahead of Euro 2024, so I wouldn't rule anything out. Unless we get gubbed tonight a semi-final will be seen as a success on balance I'd suspect (in the bizarre way the quarter-final of the World Cup has been), even if we do go out.

[Bam]

In my world view, being a few ~random events away from something happening is proof enough that the thing can happen, or could have.

I think England are good enough to win a tournament, but does losing those games in pretty much the same way (when only France were really better) not tilt things slightly away from 'random'? It's not like we were unlucky in all three.

[Magic]

Lads, where are the build up posts??

[Magic]

Seen a few tasty videos of the Dutch smashing the English. Seems the hoolies are playing terrorball too.

Does it just piss it down in Germany all the time? How does their weather not have the reputation ours does?

[Shindig]

Trippier? Fuck.

[Yevrah]

It's funny how nearly 30 years later that performance against the Dutch is still our best in a major tournament and Shearer's second our best team goal since.

Fully expecting more shitball tonight, but I would love to be pleasantly surprised.

[Magic]

Same latitude as London.

Apparently it's been overly rainy there too.

[Jimmy Floyd]

In the same way that Jimmy Savile mostly avoids criticism for his questionable taste in outerwear.

:D

[Yevrah]

The 'never beaten a proper country in a knockout match on foreign soil', or whatever the canonical wording is, is up for grabs isn't it?

Yep. This would be our biggest ever knockout win on foreign soil. Denmark and Sweden are the current contenders.

[Spikey M]

And it's on ITV. :(

[Yevrah]

Matterface will have his script ready. Probably worth muting the last 8 minutes should we be leading.

[Jimmy Floyd]

ITV, for fuck's sake. I might just turn the sound down and commentate myself.

[Yevrah]

Hang on, is that our kit tonight? You what?

[Yevrah]

On ITV and wearing that. This is all wrong.

[niko_cee]

Nah, that'll be the warm up kit.

[Spikey M]

Pickford is going to chuck one in his own goal after all this heavy duty jinxing, isn't he?

[Magic]

Have the FA paid the ITV panel too?

[Yevrah]

Nah, that'll be the warm up kit.

Phew. Just Matterface to take care of now then.

[niko_cee]

That yellow card.

:lol:

Do it for Graham!

[Yevrah]

Have the FA paid the ITV panel too?

I know someone of a senior nature in the FA, used to work with them for years. Absolutely phenomenal leader and if there was an edict I can't believe they didn't have a hand in it. They absolutely hated people who should be on the same side hanging each other out to dry.

I'd question whether the pundits for the state broadcaster should count as being on the same side, but if it was deemed that they do I can hear the call now.

[Yevrah]

I don't recall the goalkeeping being as bad as that in the famous Dutch qualifying game. Fuck me.

[niko_cee]

Yeah, the positioning for the free kick was absolutely mental. Was that Chris Woods as well? He was rated.

[Manc]

Seaman.

[niko_cee]

Ah, ok. Makes more sense.

[niko_cee]

Is there a risk we're going to be matching up formations again and so we might be going back to the 4-2-3-1 of doom?

[Yevrah]

Southgate was being cagey when asked, but I was personally putting that down to him trying to portray that he knows what he's doing when it comes to tactics - he'd be insane to switch back to that shit.

[Dark Soldier]

It's funny how nearly 30 years later that performance against the Dutch is still our best in a major tournament and Shearer's second our best team goal since.

Fully expecting more shitball tonight, but I would love to be pleasantly surprised.

I've whatsapped Sir Gareth your desire for better football but he's just text back saying he's heard you're shit at Elden Ring and to fuck off. I tried bro.

[Spikey M]

3 errors in 4 minutes for Trippier. Nice.

[Spikey M]

Lol

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Xavi Simons you fucking beautiful bastard.

[Yevrah]

Ghastly start.

[randomlegend]

Saka cutting in from the right, trying to switch it to the player wide left, realising there's nobody there so just dribbling over there himself :D

Fucking tragic.

And there we go.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It would be quite funny if we lose 5-0 and actually the country was right and we were fucking shit all along.

[Adramelch]

Well, that was faster than expected.

[Lewis]

Matterface will have his script ready. Probably worth muting the last 8 minutes should we be leading.

'Dutch Delight' already. 'Double Dutch' next.

Both Pickford and the defense for leaving a massive space open, but mostly the former.

You know what happens in England when you lot concede? Nothing at all.

[Yevrah]

It would be quite funny if we lose 5-0 and actually the country was right and we were fucking shit all along.

The "these players should be beating the Dutch" does make me eyeroll. "These players" should be playing better than a Thames Water sewage dumping, but they haven't.

[John Arne]

If England players spent more time actually trying to play football rather than CONTINUOUSLY telling each other to calm down, they might achieve something.

[Pepe]

Now to wait until the 98th minute for the equalizer.

[Waffdon]

You know what happens in England when you lot concede? Nothing at all.

That’s not true lol

[randomlegend]

The fact Southgate has gaslighted these players into believing they have been performing well through the tournament is an incredible accomplishment.

[Spikey M]

That’s not true lol

It is. But I've just remembered he's in Nazi Austria.

[7om]

Long way to go in this one. We’ve got the quality in the squad to respond. Keep the faith.

[Yevrah]

On the plus side, if there had to be a goal in the first 10 minutes, at least we didn't score it.

[randomlegend]

That’s not true lol

It absolutely is. People bring it up on here because you and Magic are terrible people so it's funny to laugh at you, but in real life nobody gives a single shit.

[Magic]

Trippier offside again? :D

[Waffdon]

‘Scotland get battered’ gets sung everywhere :lol:

[Magic]

It absolutely is. People bring it up on here because you and Magic are terrible people so it's funny to laugh at you, but in real life nobody gives a single shit.

:youpi:

[Spikey M]

Can Kane not run anymore. He had so much room to run into.

[Yevrah]

Please be injured Kane.

[Waffdon]

Look at Kane trying con another foul. He makes the Spanish and South Americans look like Rambo

[Spikey M]

‘Scotland get battered’ gets sung everywhere :lol:

In Germany, yes. By English people sat in English pubs? Have a day off.

[Jimmy Floyd]

McCoist on commentary, Dumfries in the Dutch defence, Groundskeeper Willie painted the lines on the pitch. Just had enough.

[Yevrah]

This is going to be a penalty. Rofl.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That's bullshit from VAR.

[Waffdon]

That’s an utter joke :lol:

[John Arne]

Surely a pen.

[Jimmy Floyd]

This isn't a penalty you morons.

[niko_cee]

Lol if we get this.

Name on the trophy.

[Yevrah]

Which Kane will miss.

[Spikey M]

That's not a penalty. Lol

[Boydy]

Penalty my hole

[randomlegend]

That's a foul anywhere else on the pitch.

[Pepe]

No way that is a pk.

[Waffdon]

Looks like the English media piling into the referee has worked a treat. My word

[niko_cee]

Christine in the mud.

[Yevrah]

That's worse than the hand ball one, much worse.

[Lewis]

The timing for the woman saying it wasn't and the referee pointing for it was genuinely perfect.

[Magic]

Bribed the ref.

[Spikey M]

And a yellow :D

[John Arne]

It's an obvious pen. Anywhere else on the pitch is a foul and yellow.

[niko_cee]

Looks like the English media piling into the referee has worked a treat. My word

Not the refs fault.

[Dark Soldier]

Disgusting from Dumfries, should be off.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Is it for high foot / dangerous play? Because it can't possibly be for a normal foul.

[Adramelch]

Not a penalty, but that said it was an idiotic challenge from Dumfries.

[7om]

Don’t know how McCoist and Dixon can debate this is beyond me. It’s a penalty all day.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Thought the keeper had that.

[Yevrah]

Fair play to Kane, buried that.

[Adramelch]

Good response from England as a whole to be honest. A couple of decent half chances within 5-10 minutes of the goal has not been your usual MO so far (though I guess Saka did the same with Switzerland but it was more of an individual response).
