I think the open play goal narrative is dumb when it discounts own goals you pressured other teams into conceding.

 

[kudymen]

Now this is interesting

 

[FLYguy3911]

Spain. Too good.

England probs watching this game like ''are we playing the same sport?'' / ''you can play in this way too??''

Calling that an own goal is harsh. Ball was going in.

Yeah, Latvian commentary said it looked like going wide, but to me it looked like far corner goal.

Edit: he saw few more replays and corrected himself, kudos for that

 

[ellja3]

What a game! Goodnight all

The lack of urgency France showed at the end was shocking. Not what you expect from a team when the tournament is on the line.

 

[Starat327]

France out? Oh no, what a shame.

De Paul did a great job pushing Canadian buttons. I didn't mind what Kone did there, though.

Canada played well enough, but lacks world class quality in their finishing. Big gulf between them and the best countries in the world.

Good showing against the South American teams. Hopefully they have gas left in the tank to make the 3rd place game entertaining.

Two goals in the whole tourney and made it to the semis

 

[FLYguy3911]

Sheesh.

 

[Curufinwe]

Dutch up 1-0 already

 

[BigToe]

Kane pens are inevitable

 

[PDX Flyer]

Tricky pen call there.

That early Netherlands goal was the best thing that could happen to this game. Forced England to do something.
I really don't get it. They have so much talent, but they only ever really attack when their back is against the wall because the other team scored.

It's cause Southgate is a coward.

Manchester should secede and make our own national team... we would play better football.

McNeil-Rashford-Palmer
Foden
Mainoo-Doyle
Trippier-Tarkowski-Keane-Lewis
Schmeichel

Holding, Tuanzebe, Adarabioyo, Mengi, Egan-Riley, Williams, Dawson, Phillips, Charles, Mee, Harwood-Bellis, Rothwell, McAtee, Simms, Welbeck

for the 26 man squad aha.

Ignore that we dont have any goalies aside from Schmeichel... who probably would reject the call-up. (though he spent ages 5-13 and then 15-23 in Manchester, traitor.)

 

[Curufinwe]

Did they show the auto VAR for the offside goal?

Wow, Southgate's flash of courage in bringing on Watkins worked out almost immediately.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Another late winner lmao.

 

[Appleyard]

Greece 2004'ed their way to the final... first game of the tournament they outplayed their opponents.

Even though I want them to win, if they win playing football like this then football itself is the loser.

 

[BigToe]

Maybe Watkins should be starting

 

[Appleyard]

Maybe Watkins should be starting

Tbf Kane is the tournament top scorer...
