Euro 2024

For all the shit Southgate gets, and maybe it's just dumb luck, but fark his results at major championships crap on the coaching geniuses that proceeded him.
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel Southgate does have much better cattle than most of those previous managers and has also been blessed with some luck in avoiding the top teams.
QF opponents : Sweden, Ukraine, France (lost), Switzerland
SF opponents: Croatia (lost), Denmark, Netherlands -
England always have an easy group and early knockout rounds
He’s better than people give him credit for
He’s the Arsenal of old

@MiketheSnow Today's George Graham?
It's funny how average players can make a big difference on the international stage. In the Netherlands Turkey match, it was Wout Weghorst. He changed the point of attack in the 2nd half where the turks weren't as comfortable dealing with his height and aerial balls/crosses across the face of goal, and it got the Netherlands home.
It's where someone like Harry Maguire would be handy for England. He'd be a nightmare at set piece for the Dutch if he were there, especially with the way the Dutch conceded their goal at the far post with all their little men defending there.

If only they had a tall bloke who can head the ball
Oh wait, Harry, you’re up son
Unfortunately he’s been mostly anonymous
He needs to find some of his Bayern form
Schnell, schnell

Cracking first half in the first SF
Three goals
End to end
Spain 2-1 France
-
Spain really know how to up the tempo when they need a goal and slow it down and keep the ball when they're ahead. France had a few chances but never really opened them up. That Lamine Yamal looks useful, last game as a 16 year old. Apparently he is youngest player to play a major tournament semi-final (taking Pele's record) and Jesus Navas is the oldest.

Spain best team at tournament. Would be more than deserved winners.
