Yorkie Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 That was a cracking game. Am I right in thinking it's never really clicked for Yarmolenko at West Ham? Seems a bit of a strange one, such a talent. Was impressed with a lot of players there. Thought Wijndal and Dumfries were both excellent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of talent but doesn't have the right attitude to produce consistently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Anybody enjoying this tournament more than any football they've watched in over a year? The football is never as well oiled as top level club football. In fact some of it ventures from the chaotic to terrible. But I'm finding it far more engaging. A lot of it might be to do with having fans back in the stands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I've genuinely loved every game so far. I'd probably love a dreadful 0-0 stalemate as long as it had fans booing the ref. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) There are so many things that are better in international football compared to club football. Actually caring about your team and having nothing to do with billionaire owners and money in general are the main things for me.

Unbelievable Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 World cup is the best, but Euros are a close second. So many great storylines, disappointment, elation, horror, surprises. It’s all especially welcome after a horribly dull one and a half year of mostly staying at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I think club football for me, at the top level, has a feeling of being at times almost too perfect. The teams are all such well oiled machines who know each other's every move on the pitch. And all the players are so familiar to us. Particularly over the last year without fans being there it has descended into something resembling training games at times - with the sense of theatre and chaos removed. You get to an international tournament and that all goes out of the window. The players are all thrown together pretty much on the day and just have to make it work. There's a brilliant randomness to it all. Players like Alaba and Zinchenko go from being left backs and centre backs for all conquering super clubs to starring midfielders for middling sides. Even now, with wall-to-wall coverage, there's new names playing who you've not really heard of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 That about the unfamiliar names is very true. I used to absolutely love scouting for Newcastle at tournaments, pre-abyss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
