Stu_81 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Too many teams players looked fatigued from long season and bad schedules, but i don't know if uefa/fifa would consider playing majors during spring, gets messy then i suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoRaj Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 10 hours ago, Salvo Montalbano said: Bellingham the PR specialist going round hugging each England player (including hauling some up off the ground) as a performative "I'm the man" gesture was fantastic by the way. One thing in the whole tournament from the golden boy but got to get those clips in so the pundits can talk about how "mature" he is and how much of a "leader" he is. Chortle. Totally predictable as well. This was posted during the Slovakia game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC92 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 (edited) 16 hours ago, afca32 said: Pretty much everyone I spoke to or whose opinion I read/heard about that Italy team was along similar lines to mine. They had Veratti and Jorginho dominating the midfield every game, Barella and particularly Spinazzola charging forward and Insigne and Chiesa out wide causing chaos. Along with the Spain sides of 2008 and now they were the most free-flowing tournament winners I've seen. I was a big fan of that era of Spain dominance and they are undoubtedly the best international side of my 20 years watching. However their style of play was a lot more cautious by 2012 compared to 2008, they took very few offensive risks and struggled to create chances. They were excellent in the Italy and Ireland games but the Portugal game was eye-bleeding, they were very uninspiring against Croatia and Italy and comfortable without being thrilling against France. 100%. That Italy team wasn't as good as this Spain one, but they were a really good watch, especially before Spinazzola got injured. I'm guessing a lot of the people saying otherwise didn't watch much of them and are defaulting to stereotypes about Italian teams.

HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 5 hours ago, Red Kite said: We just weren't good enough and even when the equaliser went in, I felt certain we would lose. Spain's midfield were better at getting into space and holding their line to receive the ball, not dropping back. The best team in the competition won. Congratulations to Spain. You should have played a left winger instead of trying to force Jude and Foden into the same team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 2 hours ago, Cheese said: The rumours of Bellingham being an unpopular arsehole in the dressing room is a lovely wee chaser to last night's events. I'm getting 'quits international football in the huff aged 26' vibes. Its probably been mentioned but I'm about 30 pages behind and I'm not reading them all. But it was widely reported a year or so ago that he was hated in the Dortmund dressing room and they all wanted him gone before he did eventually leave. Suggestions were he would purposely put himself into the centre of attention (example given that Haaland started getting special chants from fans after game, so Bellingham started doing a second celebration with fans on his own after Haaland was gone), that he spent a lot of the game focusing on looking good if he felt he was being overshadowed by someone elses performance, and that he was given a "leadership" role because he was weasel-y around the manager but then never actually helped lead when things were going wrong. Considering all three things were evident with England during the tournament, it feels like it might be true? If it is he won't survive long at Real Madrid. No player will ever be bigger than that club and even Ronaldo got heaved the moment his quality dropped even a touch. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cptn Hooch Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 22 hours ago, Michael W said: They stink the place out. It's a variation of Brexitball. However, it has been effective for them until tonight. I don't expect them to play like Spain, because they don't have the players to do so. Let's not forget that Pedri and Gavi were injured, and Rodri was out the second half. Even without some first picks, Spain play a way that England cannot. There was only one team that was really trying to win that game and it wasn't England. Too many of their so-called talents just didn't show up. Harry Kane was pish yet again and, not for the first time, they were a better team when he wasn't on the pitch. Wonderboy Bellingham again didn't step up to the plate and where has Phil Foden been all tournament? Nothing at all like his season at City - was that a purple patch, or is it yet another player that's been ruined by Guardiola? Wouldn't say Foden has been ruined by Pep, more a case of Pep knowing how to use him properly. Almost as if Pep knows what he's doing as a football manager 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
