Eddage Posted July 6 Posted July 6 2 minutes ago, Hero-of-Time said: I was dubious when he was subbed on but he was fantastic. Totally agree that Tripper should be done now, providing that Shaw can play a full match. I think he’s underestimated quite a bit. Admittedly his injury record hasn’t been great but when he has played this season he’s been fantastic. A lot of times he’s had to play CB for United this season and has been so consistent, having a talented LB who can also comfortably play CB is a huge bonus.
Julius Posted July 6 Author Posted July 6 Every Turkey match I've watched so far has been a lot of fun, and this one's no different. Proper end-to-end. Wonderful cross for the 1-0, too. Game on

A hypothetical final between them and Spain would be the most fun to watch, I think. Unfortunately Gareth seemingly sacrificed the Queen to pull off some next level nonsense with his football terrorism, so...
Hero-of-Time Posted July 6 Posted July 6 1 minute ago, Julius said: Oh Turkey, oh dear Yeah. Rough few minutes for them.
Julius Posted July 6 Author Posted July 6 Gutted for Turkey. They gave it everything. Absolutely everything. Hell of a match, easily the best of the quarter-finals for me. That all means we've got the Oranje to face on Wednesday, who will be in their first semi-final in a major tournament since the 2014 World Cup, and their first Euros semi-final since 2004. So years ending in -4 are lucky for them when it comes to making semis, I guess!
Iun Posted July 8 Posted July 8 Need an opinion: I have not watched a single game due to the time difference (+8 hours). Should I, or should I not, take the plunge and watch? Last time I stayed up for an England match was a dismal, deathly-dull 0-0 draw. 1

Every England match so far has been awful to watch, with us barely scraping by due to shoddy performances.

So basically like all England games Looking forward to both semi-finals. Nothing better than sitting on the couch, playing games on my Steam Deck and having footy running in the background Would love to have Spain and Netherlands in the final!

The number of goals scored in normal time kinda screams we literally don't know how to play football. 1 hour ago, drahkon said: So basically like all England games I'll give it to Southgate, he's got a steady hand, but it's time for a little bit of risk taking. 1
Hero-of-Time Posted July 9 Posted July 9 Let's see if France actually show up tonight. If they don't, I can see Spain trouncing them.
Julius Posted July 9 Author Posted July 9 Mask off for Mbappé, dude means business. Should be an interesting one. If France can actually convert their chances from open play then they could win this comfortably, but Spain look far too dangerous on the flanks to not be taken seriously. Going to regret saying this, but I'll be shocked if this goes to a 0-0.

Nah, if it goes to pens (which I wouldn't be against, let's see those French and Spanish people swear) let's hope for some goals at 2-2 then we'll go through ET and pens Want to see the same happen too, though. EDIT: well, 2-2 here we go Edited July 9 by Julius

Julius Posted July 9 Author Posted July 9 Mbappé emulating his childhood idol Ronaldo and completely wasting a free-kick don't @ me
Julius Posted July 9 Author Posted July 9 Mbappé is tearing Navas apart and confusing the middle of the Spanish defence as soon as he cuts in, drawing all of them towards him In his heyday I think there's a chance he could keep him on a leash, but at 39? Huge ask. Carva might've struggled but probably would've fared better. Surprised Spain don't really seem to have a plan to contain Mbappé beyond their typical set-up, at least from what we've seen so far.
Julius Posted July 9 Author Posted July 9 (edited) HE SCORES HIS FIRST GOAL OF THE TOURNAMENT TO BREAK THE RECORD NOW?! LIKE THAT?! FROM NOTHING?! take a bow Lamal wtf Edited July 9 by Julius 1
