No Not even Hungary is what I would call a worthy opponent.
(Even though they may surprise us)

Let Germany meet teams like Spain, Italy, France or Portugal then we would know if the new German team has any value.

Hungary puts up a good game, much better than France.
Aaand still 2 :0 for Germany now.

re Moonlight just because some teams act like paid mercenaries doey not mean all do you pillock
Edith: all are overpaid narcicists, right

It was okay, no fully convincing, but then not really weak or bad either. I think Hungary too was a fair-weather test only.

The good: the German team plays better than in the last matches during last official tournaments.

The bad: I have certain doubts that the German team will hold together against real heavy callibre opponents like France, Italy or Spain.

But I am not as convinced of my doubts like during past tournaments, so - they may prove me to have been an idiot with that statement. I hope they do.


I cant stand purple and pink. Ugliest team dress there is.

Are we heading towards a record in this tournament.

Just seen Schär score own goal which is the 5th in this tournament.

Tonight we shall see what Captain Cautious puts on the field and it wouldn't surprise me if it is an unchanged side.

[mapuc]

Well Jim I do not have a lot of confident in the Danish play It wouldn't surprise me if England win the match.

Edit
Both team can be satisfied with a draw-Both team had equal strength in their offensive and defence.
End edit

Tonight's match Spain-Italy will perhaps be a great to watch.

Spain-A team who has been said to take the gold in this tournament(according to Danish football experts).
Italy Winner of Euro 2020(Played 2021)

Spain v Italy is the only football match I've watched for the full 90 minutes, even though Spain didn't have their shooting boots on they caused enough problems for Italy to score an own goal.

Spain must be the slight favourites to win this tournament again, but some teams don't do too good in group matches but will come alive in the knock out games, the cup is still up for grabs at this time, but it's not going to have Scotland's name on it.

That game was possibly the worst performance I've ever seen England produce.

A team full of so many supposedly superstars who produce the goods week in week out at some of the toughest leagues on the planet.

Absolutely pathetic, not one put in an acceptable performance, couldn't even pass the ball to each other and looked seriously lethargic.

I could go on and describe each individuals failure to live up to the form they usually display each week for their clubs.

Suffice to say Southgate (Captain Cautious) is not fit for purpose and will hopefully resign after the tournament.

Would love to see Palmer and Gordon given a chance in the next game.

[mapuc]

Hmm I must have seen it wrong, cause I thought both team played well.

The Danes are happy with this 1 point.

I understand with a team with high payed pro you expect a tad more from them. I was convinced they would win.

Well Next match for England is Slovenia and for Denmark it is Serbia.

Maybe England will show that they are a candidate to the gold in this match against Slovenia.

Highly doubtful as long as Southgate (Captain Cautious) is in charge.

[Moonlight]

I think Southgate will put us all out of our misery and resign after this tournament, you just watch, some of those thick dinosaurs at the F.A will recommend Rooney for the job, hey, you heard it here first.

I reckon Wayne Rooney should start taking that Ozempic drug they're all raving about, he's almost as thick round the waist as he is in the head.

[Jimbuna]

Here's hoping Southgate ends up at Manure.

[mapuc]

Today's own goal, in the match between Turkey and Portugal, must be one of the most magnificent I've seen so far in the tournament. Going to be a classic.

Markus

[Jimbuna]

I don't see Turkey coming back from a two goal deficit.

[Jimbuna]

Poland are the first team to be knocked out of the competition.
