That poke from 17 was wow

 

[cgf]

Damn Füllkrug. Screwed us by not scoring yesterday after screwing us by scoring against the Swiss to prevent us from landing in the JV bracket *rabble rabble rabble*

 

[CasusBelli]

Was Jude always this much of a diver, or is that a skill they teach you in La Liga and Serie A?

Damn Füllkrug. Screwed us by not scoring yesterday after screwing us by scoring against the Swiss to prevent us from playing in this game instead of yesterday's QF *rabble rabble rabble*

This really is the JV bracket

This is the JV tournament, both matches yesterday were of a similar shit quality to this one

I missed the second match, but both Spain & Germany showed a lot more quality than this...

 

[luiginb]

A lot of blind passes/crosses from Saka so far

 

[Avs44]

Can definitely see that Southgate drew that corner up

 

[robertmac43]

That is a harsh yellow.. .

 

[Blender]

That isn't a yellow.

If there is an England France final I will seriously think twice if I want to sacrifice any sleep by watching that game.

Sacrifice sleep? Isn't that just the background you need to maximize sleep?

 

[Avs44]

Foden isn't doing anything out there, again. England really should be switching him out for a winger to bring some pace to the left side

 

[luiginb]

Lucky for England Switzerland looks like the team who couldn't beat Romania and Kosovo in qualifiers in four games, not the team that beat Italy.

I'm kind of hungover and seriously considering just taking a nap instead of keeping on with this match.

I should probably be rooting for England to win since they're no threat to get to 4 euros before us...but man I hope Spain pulls this off.

Gordon is your Sterling replacement and hasn’t gotten a minute

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Foden still taking corners should be ridiculed as much as Kane taking them in 2016 was

 

[KlausJopling]

Ref saw enough of that and added zero time to the half.

 

[Blender]

Well that was allegedly a half of football.

 

[Jussi]

*yawn*

 

[luiginb]

Switzerland need to put in Amdouni for Embolo if they want to have a chance in this one.

 

[NyQuil]

I'm kind of hungover and seriously considering just taking a nap instead of keeping on with this match.

I actually fell asleep during France-Portugal but woke up just in time for the kicks.

Not all their fault, I have a young kid who gets up early.

That is a very good point actually.

Saka beat his marker well a couple of times, but after doing the hard part, he often kept his head down and didn't look where he should pass. Or just otherwise failed in the final ball. Although Aebischer and other Swiss subtle fouled him, nudging him just a bit to put him off balance before passing without ref noticing.

Otherwise there was no threat from left flank nor from the middle, which was too crowded for Fode, Bellingham or Kane to do much.

England just up the tempo and try to attack more when the ball is turned over and there's at least a bit of chaos on the pitch.

If they choose to control the ball instead and try to build up slowly, Swiss are just too organized for England to break them down. Mainoo at least has tried some quick forward runs from deeper.
