QF | England vs Switzerland | Netherlands vs Turkey

[avgp_1]

Some neat footwork from Bellingham there. Along with his pace and physicality, he really is such an all round midfielder

 

[Bobski]

How did these guys outplay Italy?

Italy are shite, most of the teams are shite.

 

[Stadjer]

Akanji is a fantastic player.

And a Manchester United fan too. Buying him for 15m was great business from City. Would have loved if Manchester United did that deal

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Toney or Watkins up top completely changes this game. Palmer on for Foden, too.

 

[criticalanalysis]

Saka’s the only player in the side with any sort of directness off the ball. How the hell did Bellingham get so many goals for Madrid? He’s never in the box for us

You can only be a late-box-run threat when you're controlling the ball and actually pressurising the opposition goal. He's mostly doing his job in midfield and his own half to even progress the ball so hard to be in the box.

 

[Sly]

Foden with his stupid haircuts. Twat

 

[DWelbz19]

why does Kane not press their defenders at all?

It’s hard work. Let’s see you do it, pal

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

That's crazy isn't ? It used to be an important element for wide players

I swear they're not taught it, it's all about pull backs from the byline.

 

[JPRouve]

Didn't a Portuguese player attempt one too ?

I think so but I'm not sure.

 

[El Zoido]

The commentary on BBC is so irritating. It never got better than Barry Davies.

 

[Kirk lazarus]

Kane is the odd man out atm

 

[Rapsel]

I'm getting really fed up with these knock out nerves. As the late Johan Cruijff would've said: "Go out and enjoy yourselves!"

 

[Koldbeer2021]

At least the formation better suits the players we have. Not perfect but better than the last few matches.

 

[GMoore23]

This Euro has really displayed how current pros have become incredibly shite at crossing into the box

This Euro has displayed just how shite the modern day players are in general.
No charisma or character.

 

[DJ_21]

I’d prefer Eze started over Foden. Fodens bad for England.

 

[kouroux]

Why is Leao playing as a striker for the Swiss ?

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Rice always looks absolutely shagged. Every time the camera is on him, he's huffing air.

 

[JPRouve]

Astonishing how many players at the highest level can’t cross a football into a decent area.

Sagna wannabees.

 

[Sly]

AL nassr needs a ronaldo/Kane attack

 

[wildflower2007]

Why do England players always hold onto the ball 10 seconds too long and never play the pass to the open player that they should.

Boils my piss.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

I’d prefer Eze started over Foden. Fodens bad for England.

City is a rising tide that lifts all boats

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Really needs to get dropped but won't for same reasons as Ronaldo.

Not sure there would be the uproar if Kane was dropped compared with Ronaldo. Kane is injured to me, Ronaldo is done.

 

[DWelbz19]

You can only be a late-box-run threat when you're controlling the ball and actually pressurising the opposition goal. He's mostly doing his job in midfield and his own half to even progress the ball so hard to be in the box.

Not sure about that. He’s had the fewest touches and passes of the middle four behind Kane (Mainoo, Rice, Foden, Bellingham).

 

[WeePat]

Foden is so annoying to watch. Why is he so untouchable in this team?

 

[Hammondo]

Mainoo our best player so far.

 

[DJ_21]

City is a rising tide that lifts all boats

Their fans all saying Foden is playing bad because he’s been out of position. Well he’s central this game…

 

[JBG]

I’d prefer Eze started over Foden. Fodens bad for England.

Eze, Palmer or even Gordon. Just anyone else. It's really odd how bad Foden has been, whole EUROs.

 

[Grinner]

It’s hard work. Let’s see you do it, pal

It'd be like when Boris took that German out

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

Rice always looks absolutely shagged. Every time the camera is on him, he's huffing air.

I wonder how long we'll last on the pitch. 5 minutes tops?

 

[Lay]

This is one of the lowest quality Euros that I can remember. Only the smaller nations made their games interesting.

 

[GlasgowCeltic]

At least the formation better suits the players we have. Not perfect but better than the last few matches.

what’s different?

 

[Idxomer]

Toney would suit this team more than Kane.

 

[IncyWincySpider]

It feels as though we’re making all this so much harder than it needs to be.

 

[Pronewbie]

Rice attempting to impersonate Mainoo but failing badly.

 

[WeePat]

Mainoo our best player so far.

Him and Saka by miles.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

The commentary on BBC is so irritating. It never got better than Barry Davies.

They have pointed out that Pickford kicking it long is a waste (especially if Kane not winning headers and no runners) and that Kane drops too deep.. as Lineker said VERY firmly pre match.

 

[Big Ben Foster]

Every time I think this tournament can't get any more boring, it finds a way to surprise me

 

[paulscholes18]

Like to see him switch Saka and Trippier just till half time for something different

 

[The Boy]

The commentary on BBC is so irritating. It never got better than Barry Davies.

It’s much better with the 5Live commentary

 

[Look-a-Hill]

Walker really needs to ship some of Peps special stuff over.
