Iling Junior is a winger who has played wing back in a 5 man midfield. Definitely wouldn't say he's a left back.

I don't think it's a foul. If anything defender runs into him and then momentum carries him. Just sloppy defending IMO. -
Group B: 1. Spain, 2. Italy, 3. Croatia, 4. Albania

Chance they might not be able to TBF. Any country that size is going to go through peaks and troughs. Every chance they go the way of a Czech Republic. -
Group F: 1. Portugal, 2. Türkiye, 3. Georgia (Q), 4. Czechia

Fair play to Ronaldo for still keeping himself in shape but a low block defending him up top at 40 doesn't half make for a boring watch. -
Group D: 1. Austria, 2. France, 3. Netherlands (Q), 4. Poland

Still can't believe how much PSG paid for Kolo Muani last summer. -

Midfield is a bit meh I think, I am doubtful Kante still has it. -

Wouldn't be surprised if Trubin is in nets next game. -

I don't understand why if you were Ukraine you would have Zinchenko at left back rather than midfield. Especially when you have Mykolenko who is OK. -

Love some of the journeymen you get at tournaments. Stanciu has won league titles in Romania, Belgium, Czech Republic and China. Now playing in Saudi. -

Looking forward to seeing a bit of Sudakov. -

One of my all time favourite players, great to see him back amongst it. -

Deserved for Slovenia for me -

Yeah don't disagree, more noting the difference in perspective. He's going to Inter on a free this summer fwiw. -

Maybe I'm just a saddo who watches too much football but I do find posts like this funny as if he's an unknown youngster, rather than a near 100 cap veteran with 350 games for Napoli. Admittedly Poland have usually stink out tournaments when they get there. -

Scamacca is doing pretty well but he needs to start offering more goal threat at international level. -

Good ball striking ability but would say he was solid on the ball rather than a ball playing defender as such. Outstanding at everything else basically though when it comes to defending. -

Italy had Chiellini and Bonucci for so long that they were basically from a different era of football. Bastoni and Calafiori are actually much better on the ball than either of them, like modern CBs. Not saying they're as good as actual defenders - but it's such an interesting contrast. -

Encroachment into the box, no? -
The very good Greece Euro 2004 documentary is on iPlayer. I know they were rightly a divisive side (documentary covers this a bit) but it's a very good watch.

You not thinking is his brother Hakin? Murat was a lumbering defender. -

Aye fair point. Still think it doesn't change the point though. -

3. Didn't leave Hampden and only allowed 25% in TBF. Can see why this feels more like they've actually gone to a tournament. -
More like 200k, but yeah, prohibitively high wages.

He's got 2 years left. If he gets offered a 4 year deal or a lucrative 2-3 year in Saudi then it would be surprising if he didn't go, tbh.

I get the impression he's our number one target this season. Just can't see it happening given the other teams involved.
