Thuram is soft.

Dembele always looks like he doesn't quite have the ball under control.

English refs shouldn't be allowed at these tournaments. Always bring down the calibre of officiating.

Have hardly noticed or thought about refs up until this joker now.

Thuram can be a bit of an oaf at times.

Really glad this has been sorted quickly, so we didn't waste a bunch of time.

Kompany having the Bayern job gets wilder by the day.

Probably one of the reasons he chose them!

Kompany apparently has a great reputation with younger players.

Unlucky Gakpo. Very well done there.

Why is he passing that the mong

Was perfectly placed on his stronger left foot too, to just pass it in.

That was too weird.

Astonishing how good Kante still is.

Rabiot is completely mental.

I went with you guys to win it.

Think it will just come down to how clinical you are with your chances.

This French kit is an all timer, outstanding 

Can't believe how good it is.

Both Simons and Memphis can probably get shots off there. Come on guys.

Frimpong is laughably explosive man.

Frimpong comes in on the right wing for the Netherlands.Xavi Simons plays off of Memphis.

Should be a good game. I'm going with the Netherlands for this one.

He’s already shifted political elegance in readiness for sucking off Starmer and begging for “the Wembley of the North” Odious self serving rodent. 

I can't believe the way he's carrying on.

Can't wait to see how his whole tenure there continues to develop!

This man is still going around crying everywhere?!

Nigeria produce brilliant players, the difficulties that occur in the modern footballer is they can be convinced to play for other nations. 

We still have enough players commit to Nigeria to allow us to be far better than we have been for a while now.

Our version of the FA have absolutely no sense and run a complete clown show.

I really can't even blame players that choose other options.

The whole thing is very demoralising.

Best kits ever

Maybe one day we'll get back to having a team worthy of them.

We are a disgrace at the moment. Last I checked Osimhen was going back and forth with Finidi George who is the current manager.

Looking like we might not make the next World Cup.

Austria are such a great watch. Hope they do well.

Big chunk of the Austria XI are from the RB school of football aren’t they? No wonder Ragnick has them playing so well as he basically invented that.

Imagine if Man Utd had heard him out and stuck with his suggestions?

Thank God they didn't man.

Nigeria.

This is how I wish England would play.

Yup, said it earlier in the thread.

Ragnick would be great for you lot, but apparently he's tied up with them through to the World Cup.

This play style would suit England incredibly well.

Look at the energy Austria are still playing with man. Class.

In probably the greatest goal ever scored Maradona rounded the keeper

Let me rephrase ...

Hate it when regular Joe's do it!

My favourite at it was R9 who would destroy goalies when he did it. Doing step overs to sit them down and all sorts!

In general though, love players that just finish decisively.

Unless you're exceptionally skilled, please don't try!
