Pata

Would never have worked as he was just hired as an interim for half a season. Glad he didn't stay in the consultancy role, would've probably helped them a lot based on his comments about Man United.

Seems like a guy who takes care of himself the same even when playing in Saudi-Arabia.

I talked with some nice French guy a couple of years ago, he absolutely hated Deschamps and said he's holding them back despite all the success.

Looked more like a handball from the later angle and probably helped him control it tbf. Not a ridiculous decision but I would've let the goal stand.

Completely inconsequential, brushes the ball ffs. Bullshit.

Fucking hate the handball ultras.

24 teams is really good for the atmosphere. Minnows really have a good time.

We’ve all been there. Was wondering why Skriniar isn’t starting for Slovenia.

Slovakia were simply the better team.

Well yeah, no mention of that. Always disappointing when you realise that a football commentator doesn’t really follow football.

Finnish commentator just said that Dubravka has been at NUFC for a year.

Come on ref

Oh Dubs

Trossard 9, Lukaku 10

I still think Mudryk will come good, just too much raw talent. Just not there mentally after the move.

Googled and it’s a Romanian club. Hagi owns 79.9%, Rivaldo 10%.

And now they bring on Hagi, not fair.

I thought Romania would be the most boring team in the tournament.

Lunin has to save that.

Mykolenko is injured iirc. Not a strong half from Tsygankov and Sudakov.

Looks even better from other angles.

Real Madrid paid 100m for a box-to-box Bellingham and IMO played him further up out of necessity due to Benzema leaving and them not really having that many quality attacking players. He would be just as good playing next to Rice.

Bellingham would excel deeper too and would be 100% better option than TAA there, would be making most of the same runs too. Would also allow Foden to play in his natural position and a proper LW in his natural position.

Seems like a natural replacement for Mbappe.

Play him in his natural position then. It feels harsh at some players but he has to play either at right or at 10 even if that means dropping Saka to the bench or Jude next to Rice. Trying to fit in all England's best players to the lineup in any way possible has never really worked for England.
