    Euro 2024: The Knockouts



    Annoyingly I finally understood those stupid 3rd place tables only when the group stage was basically done.

    Apologies to the Benelux teams who do fit into option 7 but would have had their own entries if this SO-CALLED MESSAGE BOARD didn't limit polls to 10 options. Stifling my creativity and freedom of expression.

    The quarter-final being 5pm on a Saturday is going to be absolute havoc for league cricket, so I'm all aboard the Slovakia train, if there is one. If there isn't I suppose I'll have to make a few calls to whoever builds trains.

    More dark days of no football.

    One can only look to THE CAMP for some sort of inspiration to pull through. A few quotes from Marc Guehi to ease the pain.

    I don't think I'm the best player here.
    Fair enough, but does he mean in the England squad or the whole tournament?

    There have been some really good performances by people.
    I guess the tournament.

    We’ve already floated the idea of 9am starts.

    It should just ignore the football, like we're real men. Last time this happened (2018) I remember stopping for a 2 hour break with the oppo on about 280 for 2, a few people fell asleep during the football, and then we had to go out again and carry on getting thrashed. Miserable.

    I recall having a match during the England - Scotland game in 1996. Of course no accommodation was made.

    Bielsa's Uruguay running riot and in Brazil's side of the KO draw, could be one worth staying up for there.

    Uruguay highlights were mad. They play so quick and direct. Not quite sure how Nunez is keeping up.

    Big fan of the Panama red card. Winning near the 90th minute and Pulisic is getting away after a quick free kick so the lad just full on boots him in the leg to take him down.

    This has potential to be the worst game of the tournament and that includes England's games.

    Probably want Italy to win here as they're absolutely terrible and Barella appears to be injured.

    That was quite nasty by Cristante there.

    Italy came in to the tournament with no competent strikers & a coach who’s been in the job less than a year & hasn’t settled on what system they’re going to run, so it’s not all that shocking that they don’t look particularly good.

    They'll be too caught up in the excitement of lifting the Gianni Infantino Trophy. Didn't you get the memo? This is their final.

    Are we moving to a model where offside simply doesn't exist other than for ruling out goals? And if we are, is that a bad thing?
