I think the weather has put a bit of a damp squib on it

 

Was just coming here to make that point. Genuinely something in that I reckon. So fecking miserable.

Watched the BBC highlights show as was out - why doesn’t the BBC show a formation anymore? They only list the players in shirt number order. Same on their website

 

Really pisses me off as I can figure out Scotland and Germany formations and positions as I know the  players, but haven’t a hope for some of the other teams.

 

I can’t help but think it’s as they kept getting it wrong and have given up - but it’s useful!

So far the goals scored in this tournament have been crazy, just when you think you've seen some rockets from Romania Stanciu , up pop Turkey Muldur/Guler , Czech with Provod, Fulkrug for the Germans. I could go on, Embolo Swiss and Ruiz technique for Spains second.

 

Some class finishes.

Did they ever explain why they have the random American Laws of the Game expert? [emoji38]

Not just watching England, but I can't remember the last time I was engrossed in a tournament. Is it just me or is interest waning? There just doesn't seem to be any identity anymore from country to country, it's more or less the same the world over now.

 

Brazil are still a cracking team but Ronaldinho nailed it recently, they don't play like Brazil anymore. 

 

I'm not saying players care any less, but club football is always the priority. For most fans the same applies, too.

 

I reckon change it so tournament squads are similar to the ones that go to the Olympics. Under 21s/23s with a few overage players, there'd still be a rawness about them and make it fun.

Wasn't that a PR stunt? :lol:

No idea but I still think he's right. It used to be a must-watch whenever Brazil were playing. They're still very good but they don't have you gripped anymore. Neymar seems to be the last of a kind.
