Wolfcastle

Spain's not just been the best team so far in the tournament but the only team that's definitively good

Jersusalem's just lying there to be used too

with the way the tournament is laid out, both these sides will go through whatever happens so no need to get worked up one way or the other at this point - but knew they would all the same

The tournament organisers giving them almost exclusively home advantage probably

Not being an England fan I quite enjoyed that, seeing an ordinary Denmark more than matching them shouldn't happen, but there you are. Not even saying they wont win the game or tournament but it wont be done in anything like the manner it should be - more Denmark and Greece and France and Spain

Well that wasn't much fun

Didn't care for that at all. Like one of our horror 1-1 draws with Wolves from days of yore

Keeper knows the shots coming and just tried t ocover space rather than the shot - Schmeichel starfish style without the luck of it hitting him and staying out

Needed to go one more to the guy on the left, don't bother mentioning it though Murphy

Poborskyied

He'd have needed a towel if he could have managed Skuhravy or Koller

Its like a shitter version of the Euro 96 game *which was shit iirc

Stupid arguement - could say the same about Greame Souness (2 cups in England) and I'd argue he wasn't just shite but one of the worst managers to ever manage. Ruined a decades long dynasty at Liverpool but won a cup

Poor mans Denilson. (*the Betis one)

Feel exactly the same. Just my cup of tea but thats an artistry judgement rather than based on how effective he is

Those 96 and 2000 first and secondary impressions still linger for me with Portugal despite seldom having enjoyed watching them since.

Cant see that. Am a bit sorry his network isn't pushing him for the Mackem job as there'd be a chance their ownership could go for it

Di Matteo won the champions league.

Aye. Did everything right. Found someone with promise, signed him for a modest fee, loaned him out to get experience and battle-test him and get him ready for your team everything thus far has worked out, a club can do no more right than that.....but are forced to sell player for new legislation only

Cant get vexxed at that start whilst mindful of the extra bit of pressure on to win with it being statistically the best fixture especially whilst harbouring high hopes

Seemed to be really comfortable and proud of the law whereas its probably loathed by football people is the conflict.

Absolutely nothing in that but was every bit as "bad" as the booking on the keeper

Thing is with this format I don't think you can judge teams this early, nobody has to be full pelt or panic stations - especially with the amount of average or worse teams kicking about

Especially in an FFP world. Zero sell on value and a couple years out of him.

Maybe by the letter of the law, don't think that's being argued so much as that the letter of the law is shit. So Belgian TV and VAR criticts are both right. By the same token a hell of a lot of historic goals get ruled out now that nobody has really questioned since
