Feels a bit more open than usual and got a feeling this could pan out similarly to the recent AFCON in terms of upsets although I do actually think Germany will win this and beat Netherlands, who are starting to look pretty good again, in the final. Austria and Hungary the dark horses.

Not really surprising someone like Foden who has only played under a maniac like Guardiola looks a shadow of himself in Southgate’s England. He should retire from international football tbh.
― crisp, Sunday, 16 June 2024 20:40 (eleven months ago)
Eze looked good under Woy, he’d be great for England

England scoring more than one in their opening match seems just too far fetched (tho of course the last (only?) time that did happen they still lost)
― nashwan, Sunday, 16 June 2024 20:47 (eleven months ago)
Got to be questions asked about why Southgate left Foden on for the entire match.

Comfortable 3-0 victory for England Ferdinand said - an improvement on the "easy" 4-0 victory he predicted for England v Scotland in the last Euros. Dickhead.

Eng are so cooked. Foden is clearly a problem that Southgate will never solve. That defence will fall to pieces fast.

Winning Euro openers at all still very novel for England so can't even feel that frustrated tbh esp. based on Serbs 2nd halfThere is the inevitable 0-0 to come, probably v DEN

Ferdinand said he was just going to say the same and added it would be "comfortable" too.

I thought the centre backs actually looked good. The transitions are a problem, nobody injected any pace other than Saka. Drop Foden and Trent imo.
― crisp, Sunday, 16 June 2024 21:07 (eleven months ago)
Saka has been an injury worry recently, so in that sense he was going to go off instead of Foden. But in terms of actual play it didn’t make sense.
Personally I don’t understand why it can’t work. Foden, Bellingham and Kane all know how to roam/change positions and bring each other into the game - they all play a dynamic way for their clubs. But Shearer kept banging on about how Kane had to be static up front, it was clearly the game plan and that stopped others being able to interact with the play going forward. I know Haaland can play like that some times but it just doesn’t seem to suit Kane, who would get a lot from closer play with Son or Musiala and presumably could with a roaming Foden too.
I don’t think Southgate understands the fluidity of top teams these days. But you just have to look at an old England manager to see how outdated it is. Woy had quite a static game at Palace and they sucked. When he left, the players all started to interact with each other more, leading to more creativity and freedom and Palace looked so much better after he left. And Palace don’t have arguably the best front 4 in the world like England do.

He is almost exclusively referred to as Trent by ex-pro pundits I think?

The pressure on the players is intense, the scrutiny unforgiving
Yes, nobody in Italy or France or Spain etc puts any pressure on their players and their media doesn't even bother covering the tournament because *shrugs* what will be will be.
― Blood On Santa's Claw (Tom D.), Saturday, 22 June 2024 09:16 (eleven months ago)
These are players under constant intense scrutiny every week where they play for the biggest clubs in the world in the most high-pressure competitions. They are hounded by press/fans/other dickheads every day. The person under an unusual amount of scrutiny is Southgate - maybe he should stop projecting that onto all the players?

Southgate got found out as a club manager at Middleborough. If he'd persisted in club management he'd have worked his way down the pyramid until he was on the scrapheap, and that would have taken less time than it took him from the England U21's to the top job. He is a shit manager and always has been, but he's the type of insidious creep who was always going to get ahead at the FA.

Problem with handball rules is if you require intent, that adds a whole new level of scrutiny for the refs and a whole new type of inconsistency, so we're left with IFAB tinkering with how to interpret handball endlessly.
― Iacocca Cola (Neanderthal), Saturday, 22 June 2024 13:54 (eleven months ago)
Like at least it's consistent w how they usually call handball now, where arms are outstretched, as opposed to like a few years ago, where all incidental contact at point blank range was getting penalized.
Still sucks but idk.

Hungary dedicated what could be a crucial win over Scotland to Barnabas Varga after the Ferencvaros player was taken off on a stretcher and taken to hospital. He had been left motionless on the pitch after leaping to meet a Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick in the 71st minute of a game Hungary won in stoppage time.While receiving treatment on the pitch and being helped away on a stretcher, Varga had sheeting placed around him. A statement from the Hungarian Football Federation said Varga was “stable” in a Stuttgart hospital. He was understood to have been unconscious on the field and to have concussion and will undergo surgery on a cheekbone broken in several places.“It was a terrible moment,” said Hungary’s Roland Sallai, the player of the match. “He will probably have to go through a minor operation but he is in a much better condition. We were fighting for him in the remaining minutes. We dedicate it to him.”

Di Lorenzo frequently calling for the ball on the right side, signaling a run, but teammates have mostly declined, feels like they're more fond of safer passes until they get deeper into opposing territory. but a draw gets them through so I get that.

Mattia Zaccagni (Italian pronunciation: [matˈtiːa ddzakˈkaɲɲi]; born 16 June 1995) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a left winger or attacking midfielder for Serie A side Lazio and the Italy national team. He became the hero that sent Italy through to round of 16 in the 2024 Euros. Absolute hero.

More matches for the UEFA coffers, less playing for draws. And every nation with a vaguely decent team gets a pop.

Disciplinary points
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 25 June 2024 21:04 (eleven months ago)
From the wiki.
Fair play points will be used as a tiebreaker if the head-to-head and overall records of teams are tied (and if a penalty shoot-out is not applicable as a tiebreaker). These are calculated based on yellow and red cards received by players and team officials in all group matches as follows:[3]
yellow card = 1 pointred card as a result of two yellow cards = 3 pointsdirect red card = 3 pointsyellow card followed by direct red card = 4 pointsOnly one of the above deductions will be applied to a player or team official in a single match.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 25 June 2024 21:05 (eleven months ago)
Ah makes sense!
― octobeard, Tuesday, 25 June 2024 21:07 (eleven months ago)
Round of 32 played over 2 legs
Curious, how do you see this working? Two matches between the same teams and totaling goals between the two?
Also, on a random note, wasn't expecting to hear the Neverending Story theme on the ITV post game broadcast.
i'm on the fence. obviously group stages create scenarios where the best teams are making 8+ changes by Match 3 due to already having secured passage, but it also creates the potential for them getting left behind, which is often hilarious.
group stage also gives you those plucky matches from second and third tier squads just scrapping to stay alive in match 3.
feel like two-legged first round increases likelihood of better teams moving forward and reduces chance of upset, as low blocking for 180 minutes to force a 0-0 time only to have to play an extra 30 minutes is less of a winning proposition. and of course neither team other than host nation technically gets a 'home' match.
in conclusion, I vote for whatever format will make Ronaldo look the worst

as much as I still think it's far from perfect, I think the Euros officiating has mostly been decent, especially when compared to how bad Copa America's has been.
broadcasters praised the slow, glacial speed in which the VAR reviewed the Argentina goal, because Stu Holden pointed they had to check 'everything' and make sure it's all good, and expedience being less important than accuracy. like...no, VAR is not supposed to re-referee the match, it's supposed to look for obvious things that were missed in the buildup to the goal, like someone Three Stooges eye-gouging the defender or being two legs offside, not "back and to the left"-ing it for 5 minutes.

― Saxophone Of Futility (Michael B), Sunday, 30 June 2024 13:00 (eleven months ago)
the handball law is bad now, but like offside it seems to me to be as much about the culture of how this stuff is interpreted. "arms in an unnatural position" is fine if it means a defender can't spread themselves out to stop a ball getting past. once you get into frame by frame, half a dozen different camera angles and a debate about biomechanics and what is or isn't a natural position then you're deep into "fuck off" territory imo
― you'll find this funny, children (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 30 June 2024 13:28 (eleven months ago)
i get more and more towards wanting a ref to default to "nothing in that play on" and as nv says the threshold for var to get involved has to be much higher across the board
― tuah dé danann (darraghmac), Sunday, 30 June 2024 13:33 (eleven months ago)

― you'll find this funny, children (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 30 June 2024 13:36 (eleven months ago)
problem with it is that offside and line calls do give you the chance to yes/no that by that definition
i think a sustained effort at changing the interpretation to "not a significant advantage" for offside or handball prob is a better perspective
― tuah dé danann (darraghmac), Sunday, 30 June 2024 13:58 (eleven months ago)
It's funny how any responses to that complaint about that offside call are all "rules are rules".
I mean who can forget pre-VAR when there was an extra sideline official with a tape measure shadowing players and reminding them to keep their toenails onside.

"no significant advantage" would be an improvement, yeah. as far as offside goes i think the accuracy of modern tech necessitates tweaking the law on offside positions, whether you change it to has to be your whole body ahead of the offside line or your whole foot, i'm sure there's a case to be made for different degrees but this fraction of a body part shit needs to be gone
― you'll find this funny, children (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 30 June 2024 14:43 (eleven months ago)
the prob is that the argument will remain the same i think
"the plumb line from his left shoulder through his centre of gravity to his right hip is only off by a cunt hair trevor, thats not in the spirit of the law for me"
― tuah dé danann (darraghmac), Sunday, 30 June 2024 14:47 (eleven months ago)
darragh otm imo. the problem, as it always was with cricket, is that technology, supposedly brought in to remove egregious blunders, increasingly forces into judgments of fine margins off the pitch. there’s no room what it looks like on the pitch or natural or practical interpretations. that means regardless of how you define the law you will either end up with arguments over the decision (define significant) or gnat hair, invisible jurisdiction. it’s preferable to have argument or discussion over a referee or umpire’s decision, occasionally bad, than it is to go down a route of supposedly objective decision making. lot of this driven by the media ofc - hysterical discussions about referring judgments are good for air time, and drive “we’ve got the technology it’s crazy not to be using it” thinking. which confuses the fact that the media quite like controversy with the importance of accuracy.so as ally mccoist did yesterday you end up trying to assert quite humanistic principles in the face of it, of which the media is not enormously tolerant (ie questions of room for error, connecting what people do on the international pitch with what they do on the school pitch etc etc)

Xxxxxposts I've not been watching this sport anywhere near as long as you all but recently I took a look at my old football posts on social media to see what my chief officiating complaints were prior to VAR.
It was almost always red card offenses. Either ones not issued to an opponent or wrongly issued against my team. Offside never came up unless it was a goal wrongfully disallowed due to phantom offside. Which didn't come up much. And PK calls.
I still support VAR for reds because a red materially changes the match so getting it right is important. A PK? with or without VAR, the endless "pen/never a pen for me" debate would still rage. But at least your goalie has a small chance of making a save and you can come back from behind. Being wrongfully down a man us hard to recover from.

Slovakia players have great intuition to pass the ball to players that have space. They steal the ball easily and tighten around England’s attacking third. England players don’t have the patience for Slovakia’s disciplined defending. Not too surprised their coach is Italian

The aggressive posh weirdness of ITV's lead broadcasters and the dull entitlement of the ex-pros is a rancid cocktail, there's only really Coisty, Wrighty and Christina who are any fun to listen to, and Wright's a long way from his best in this kind of deranged atmosphereKeane can't escape caricature but at least they actually bother to have a non-English pundit for the game unlike BBC

Danny Murphy still thinks it's pronounced Gapko
BBC actually had a "5 names you're pronouncing wrong at the Euros" explainer video that had Gakpo on it, but it was more around it not being a hard G than a rebuke to Murphy
Whether anybody has as yet taken the time to respond to the effect that none of these cunts pronounce "de Bruyne" or "Martinez" properly is unclear

As per The xG Philosophy, Austria’s last minute header was worth 0.94 xGOT [expected goals on target]. Basically, a goalkeeper would only be expected to save the effort six per cent of the time.

The organization has long been a prominent suspect in investigations into the deep state in Turkey, and is suspected of having had close dealings in the past with the Counter-Guerrilla, the Turkish branch of the NATO Operation Gladio, as well as the Turkish mafia. Among the Grey Wolves' prime targets are non-Turkish ethnic minorities such as Kurds, Greeks, and Armenians.

This whole month they have talked about him like he is Van Nistelrooy and it’s illegal for him to touch the ball outside of the six yard box.
When Bayern played Arsenal, he tore us apart with passing between the oncoming attacking midfielders. Bellingham, Saka and Foden can do what Musiala and Sane did. And yet… yeah these people are idiots

Kane's probably the best passer of a ball in the England team but keep him up front, wandering about on his own, by all means.

Bellingham, Saka and Foden can do what Musiala and Sane did. And yet… yeah these people are idiots
Can they? In theory. Do they? Absolutely not
Foden certainly doesn't run in behind. Saka generally wants the ball to feet as well. Bellingham could in theory, but he's mainly been clogging up the central area with all the rest of them in England's matches so far
This is why I think Gordon would be a better pick as one of the front three

Liew on France applies completely to England too
France, on the other hand, have the feel of a team being held together by success alone. Get enough talent in there, and maybe the teamwork takes care of itself. No wonder they finally seemed to free up when penalties arrived: a series of simple individual battles, a test of personal skill, no tactics, no complications.
― imago, Saturday, 6 July 2024 18:50 (eleven months ago)
I mean they’re playing out from the back, play keep away and don’t create chances. There is very little opposing teams can do. I feel like gegenpressing once the ball is somehow intercepted would be a good counter but you’d have to wait for the interception to happen, and with the loads of passing all the way in the back, you just have to have patience, because it creates such a slow game

Interestingly, when individual Swiss teams play in Switzerland, they are followed by their supporters who sit in the stadiums and often heckle each other — each in their own language.But when the Nati plays against foreign teams, everyone unites behind it. Rivalries and hostilities disappear, and the language is no barrier.When the supporters can’t communicate in each other’s language, they revert to English, according to Jeremy from Vaud, who has followed the Nati numerous times, including to France for the 2016 Euro Cup and to the 2018 World Cup qualifications in Portugal.Another supporter, Yves from Bern, went to Rome to watch the Nati play (and lose) against Italy on June 16th, along with 20 other supporters, some of whom he met through the Friends of the Swiss National Football Team Facebook page.“Most of us were German speakers, but there were also four from the French part and one from the Italian. We had no trouble communicating, in with all three languages plus English”, Yves said.But regardless of languages spoken by the fans, they all learned the team song, which is in Swiss-German.The lyrics, set to the music from the song “The Lions Sleep Tonight” pay homage to the team’s forward, Breel Embolo:“I de Nati, de Schwiizer Nati, do esch de Breel dihei.Oh Embolo, oh Embolo”. Translated into English this means, “In the national team, the Swiss national team, there is Breel's home. Oh Embolo, oh Embolo”.When supporters follow the Nati to games abroad, “we post on social media where we are going to meet”, Jeremy said.The meeting place is usually in front of a bar and then the throng of hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of fans from all over Switzerland go together to the stadium, singing the “Embolo” song.“The ambiance is really great”, Jeremy said.Yves noted that he made many friends among other supporters during these jaunts, including those from other linguistic regions."When Nati plays, we are all behind it”.And if Switzerland didn’t qualify for the Euro, would the fans support teams from linguistically neighbouring countries?“No”, Jeremy said. “The Swiss don’t like France or Germany”.What about Italy?“We don’t like Italy either”.

Yves noted that he made many friends among other supporters during these jaunts, including those from other linguistic regions.
"When Nati plays, we are all behind it”.
And if Switzerland didn’t qualify for the Euro, would the fans support teams from linguistically neighbouring countries?
“No”, Jeremy said. “The Swiss don’t like France or Germany”.
What about Italy?
“We don’t like Italy either”.

It was weirdly positive with the BBC though I don't think its news that the media will be positive as long as Eng advance
They are positing the eminently believable conspiracy theory that the BBC pundits were so weirdly glowing about another almost entirely fruitless and lucky performance yesterday because they have been *told to be* by Beeb higher-ups 👀— Dan Hancox (@danhancox) July 7, 2024

It was truly bizarre to me. Didn't see the game until this morning and was taken aback by how excited the pundits were at half time by England's performance. Then after the game Ferdinand the Bull(shitter) saying it was what the country had been crying out for a performance to be proud of.

xp The lyrics of the Swiss national anthem are largely unknown from the population, and I assume it's not very different in football stadiums. Even the squad used to be chided that some (immigrant) players had not properly learnt it. I know half of the first line. In contrast, the lyrics of the French national anthem is much more familiar, and I remember we were singing it as kids.
There is a sports rivalry with our great neighbors and a whole range of negative prejudice about their people, but that's mainly just talk because at the same time there is closeness, we are influenced by them, there are family ties, we love their countries and visit them all the time. Personally I can turn enthusiastic about any of them.
For communication, at superficial level we all make do, whoever knows more makes the effort. In a work environment (government), the policy is that people at least know the other language passively and each can respond in their mother tongue. Socially and culturally and politically, we are quite different though. There are some multilingual friends and couples in the border regions, among internationals / educated people English can work as a lingua franca, the Swiss-Italian minority has to get along with everyone... but that's not everyone.

I love crossing in the attack! think I read an article that said the art was falling by the wayside because teams had gotten so bad at them in terms of imprecision and choosing the right time to send the ball in.
definitely seem to be a lot of LB/RBs in football who literally decide to cross the ball in because "touch line's over there, I'm outta space and gotta do something", not even noticing nobody is in the box first.
besides, all these defences that like to gum up the middle tend to make through balls difficult.

― Number None, Tuesday, 9 July 2024 19:15 (ten months ago)
its def related to the obsession with possession
and id guess the lower propensity to put one in at the earliest opportunity means a striker isnt going to be there, and from there its a cycle
also, longer run, teams dont profile for crossing full backs/wingers and target man strikers
and in the abyss, dyche feeds, and plots, and waits

They're better than that tbf. Rangers did actually beat some good teams on the way to that final, so that's a difference.
― Wee boats wobble but they don't fall down (Tom D.), Thursday, 11 July 2024 08:10 (ten months ago)
Eng actually played well last night. 2nd half was a struggle but the heat must be gruelling after a big first half effort with both SFs dropping in intensity after half time.
Eng should lose against Spain but they have got away with things and are not that strong at the back.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 11 July 2024 09:04 (ten months ago)
I don't think it's as big a mismatch as that. Obviously, Spain are better, but I think England have a 40% chance of winning. I put United's chances at about 10% pre-match.

lads i know fatalism is basically england's 'brand' but ffs they made the final, were down, equalized, were level after 85 minutes, gave up the winner, and had a couple very good chances as time ran out. that's pretty fucking good!
i can't really speak to the larger complaints about southgate but he pulled his captain/leading scorer after 60 minutes and . . . it worked!
if you want to wallow in righteous sadness that's your business but i'd think that after 58 years you'd maybe be a bit happier about simply reaching back-to-back finals

― mookieproof, Monday, 15 July 2024 01:25 (ten months ago)
sir you are asking that in a fashion and framing that suggested ppl itt wanted and england win
but
if i may
southgates england are set up to play for the scraps, are shit to watch and compromise utterly on style and the actual capabilities of their players in order to eke out set play results in a way that leaves nothing but dismay in the hearts of those watching even if in moments some glimmer of potential shines through as if by error or chance
the problem with this is that if you dont win youve given people absolutely fucking nothing to admire or depart with, only "we will do that again and maybe we will win the next one"
its coward football, inspiring nothing but the contempt it fully deserves as middle managed slow decline without even the messy bitch flawed vigour of the runs deep into knockout stages of venables hoddle et al who at least tried to let the gifted players shine
if all you do is joyless shit like this, then not actually winning leaves you fucked because you gave nothing else to love other than a grey dedication to avoiding risk and playing the odds
aside from even all that, tbh they could have played spain all week and hung in to lose by a single goal, but never- never!- would they have led or won in that time. what you saw was in fact as good as it was gonna get and everyone i think knows that, so the fact is the loss was baked in and accepted under southgates approach and given the evening over again he would sit and play that game ten more times and tell you that you didnt have anything better coming to you.
its the least valiant type of failure and fuck him for it tbh

darragh largely otm. I would also like to add that the England team used to be full of dislikable characters (Terry, Rooney, Lampard, Cole etc) and so when they would play this utilitarian sad ball, it was quite easy to conjure hate and annoyance to replace disappointment. That the team is actually quite enjoyable and likable now - full of players people want to support - only adds to the disappointment seeing them not live up to their potential, while not being tainted by hate. Or more accurately that hate and annoyance that possesses our souls needs to go somewhere so it is now aimed not at the team but instead the *tacticians* and the inane robotic commentary of former engerland wankers who failed at football management every time.

saka is boring imo hes just another sterling, effective one way but no matter how good the trick its one trick
i think its not true to say that england haven't always had one or two of at least that level or better tbh but the depth of experience and competition for the first xi and bench is prob as good relatively speaking as its been across all positions for a long time

Darragh would be otm if they fell against Slovakia but they didn't so its not otm really.
Despite what Southgate was or wasn't doing they played pretty well against the Dutch. I think both sides were poor after half time but France/Spain dropped out too. I mean if you want joy in knockout football then you will be disappointed. That's romanticism for you.
Eng played well for patches of the final. They had a goal knocked off the line and who knows then. They did lose to a better team who were better on paper but on the day were marginally better.

Spain beat Italy 4-0 in the Euro 2012. The one time I remember seeing really amazing football kill the other team to create a one sided final.
The other one was France 98 (but Brazil lost on arrival from the Ronaldo fiasco).

Yeah true one sided as well.

In terms of managers you'd say Deschamps and Martinez would be far more sackable than Southgate, though I think he should go too. Don't know who should come in but I don't watch Premier League so I will leave that one.

In the spirit of Starmer's New England I think they'll go for an English manager, probably Potter. Actually though I think Southgate will carry on

The country and the manager should be the same nationality.
Hearing Ancelloti in connection with Brazil was wtf.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 15 July 2024 09:31 (ten months ago)
if Southgate has any sense (unlikely) then he'll quit now while he's almost on top.
― This is Dance Anthems, have some respect (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 15 July 2024 09:33 (ten months ago)
still unlikely he'd do it, but the FA should just back a dump truck full of cash up to Jurgen Klopp's house

Don't see what's weird about a manager not from the country being in charge of the team
Sure Spain had two French lads playing in central defence
And England had Irishmen Harry Kane, Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham in their team
― Number None, Monday, 15 July 2024 09:45 (ten months ago)
Also there are a lot of people of Italian descent in Brazil. Largest population outside Italy iirc
i do think a grandfather rule to be applied for intl management appts would be good tbh

If football games had a more precise system of measuring the relative strength of teams than say “1-0” or “2-1” then it would be self evident but they don’t so we get to argue about it for weeks - years. That’s football, baby

"Don't see what's weird about a manager not from the country being in charge of the team"
For players nationalities are fluid due to a variety of factors that often can't be controlled.
But for managers its fucked. If Ancelotti won the WC with Brazil then it should be split. Managers should be representative of the footballing structure of the country.

Martinez should quit the Portugal job just in time to be offered the England job. Can just see him standing belting out God Save The King.

It's harder to begrudge for 'smaller' nations e.g. Georgia. Maybe also nations who just don't produce good coaches, ahem.
― nashwan, Monday, 15 July 2024 10:55 (ten months ago)
Only applyng this with the more established nations.
And most of the time it won't come up as they won't win. Can only think of Greece winning the Euros with a German coach.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 15 July 2024 10:59 (ten months ago)
Martinez expert at indulging fading* strikers who contribute nothing, an ideal pick
* yes i know Kane just scored 44 goals in one season at Bayern, bear with me here

The problem with appointing a foreign manager is that he'd need a long time to adjust to our national coaching strategy and playing style.

"But this is an attacking set piece, a chance to work the ball into a dangerous area, the sort of situation Southgate and his coaches must have plotted out in advance. Why is there no playbook, no set of choreographed routines or movements? Why is flinging the ball 40 yards backwards (and still into trouble) even an option? This bit is on Southgate"

this is the England U-21 side that won the Euros
James Trafford, James Garner, Levi Colwill, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Max Aarons, Emile Smith Rowe, Curtis Jones, Morgan Gibbs-White, Angel Gomes, Cole Palmer, Anthony Gordon
Most of these are (or have been) starters for their club sides. And it doesn't include Bellingham or Mainoo

Bar the accidental hero bollocks this is otm. Eng breeze through qualification and do well in tournaments. And while I mostly hated the football they mostly got through what was put in front of them.
Then again I have seen so much shit between Venables and Southgate its easy to be positive.

That shootout against the Swiss was really excellent. All five scored, no fuss. No mad screaming from Saka (unlike Pearce).
Its a different, nicer Eng, and sadly for the rest of the union (possibly Ireland lol) they might have to cope with victorious Eng fans in the next 10 years. It sucks.
