[No Quarter]

England are just employing the age old All Black tactic of keeping their powder dry until the finals

At this rate they'll be spooffing talcum powder

Scotland's Euro 2024 five-star camp is in the shadow of a crudely named landmark

Scotland will call a crudely name mountain home for their Euro 2024 adventure in the German mountains, with the Tartan Army set to take over the small Bavarian town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen

Great last line

[Billy Tell]

Switzerland 🇨🇭 2 vs Italy 🇮🇹 0

Italy were utterly dreadful. But we were pretty damn good.

A good old fashioned drubbing

England down 1-0 at halftime

Overpaid, underworked
Like British MPs

[MiketheSnow]

Foden offside

Still 1-0 to Slovakia

[MajorRage]

Can’t think of any team in any sport ever which plays so much less than the sum of its parts

@MajorRage I know nothing about football, but how much time in the endzone do you need?

[MiketheSnow]

“It’s a funny old game Saint”

Down and almost out without raising a finger then super Bellingham goal and Kane shows up in extra time and it’s England 2-1 up and likely to progress

Slovakia will be kicking themselves
Opportunity lost

England are the anti-Barbarians

Players play & perform for some of the best club sides in the world

Spend plenty of time together as a team but look like they barely know each other

Lack of basic skills and vision doesn’t allow them to freestyle when they’re up against it

[canefan]

@MiketheSnow and they left arguably their two most creative players at home

[Billy Tell]

I rate Switzerland a chance. If they like they did vs Germany and Italy they’ll be a good chance.

England have showed exactly zero sign of playing to their potential, so I rate Switzerland favourites

[Billy Tell]

Spain Georgia is a fantastic match so far.

[Billy Tell]

Maro Itoje is having a fantastic match for Spain on the left wing.

[MiketheSnow]

Congratulations England
You jammy bastards

Great tournament for Georgia

Wow, if you want to watch a team just pass between their back three all day then watch England. Devoid of any ideas of how to break down the formation in front of them, but every punter and commentator seemingly could see it. How could a team of champion players be so bad as a team?

Part of me feels they can only improve and with those players you would think they would have to, but they are so far off right now. Its like watching an old episode of Fawlty Towers. The irony is though, they are still there and Basil is saving his moves for the Germans. (note I do know the swiss are up next)
