QF | Spain vs Germany | Portugal vs France

I find it weird people think this is a boring game, first half was decent but lacking end product and this half has probably more xg than all of our games combined.
I’d find it weird if people didn’t think it was a boring game. Atrocious attacking from both teams. Both played to safe
 
No he's definitely up there. Annoyingly.

It’s very annoying indeed especially when he and Fofana were teammates at St Etienne. We signed the unlucky cripple while Arsenal signed the guy who ends up among the best in the world.
 
Martinez giving Southgate a run for his money for completely taking the joy out of football. What a fecking bore.
 
Honestly, look at Mbappe and Dembele on that Thuram break, get in the box you twits and give him an option.
 
This might be a controversial opinion but I loathe Lineker as a pundit. So smug and pedestrian with the banter, presenting, questioning and narratives. It's almost a parody of clean broadcasting + lads humour trope.
 
Why are we talking about Saliba, Rudiger and Dias as best Cbs around. Pepe is on the pitch!
 
Only students of the game like you and I will see this game of chess for what it is. These peasants just want to see Zorro v Ronaldo.
:lol:

Who you rooting for? Portugal, for me! I really wanted Bruno to score the winner but that ship has sailed.
 
We’ve all been making jokes, but it’s actually a disgrace from a serious perspective that Ronaldo is still on the field. You hire a coach on a huge salary and you expect him to effect change within a match; and yet the most obvious sub in the history of football, he refuses to make. Sacrificing his most creative player in order to keep this mummified icon out there.

It’s actually making me angry at this point. Is there some sort of contractual agreement that prevents it? Because Ronaldo has offered NOTHING. He’s been worse than horrendous, he’s been completely anonymous.
 
The funny thing about it is, we all know Ronaldo is old and a liability (well, maybe not so much if a cross actually got to him), but what the feck has mbappe done this tournament let alone game?

Well Mbappe scored a penalty outside of a penalty shoot out. By doing that he outperforms Ronaldo.

Mbappe does have a terrible Euros
 
Deschamps choice of midfield for this tournament is bewildering. No creative spark whatsoever.

It’s not like the French don’t have some exciting prospects with the likes of Caqueret, Cerki etc
