Euro 2020

If we can keep a strong defence then there’s no reason why one of our strikers shouldn’t do some damage. It’s all about who has the momentum right now and England just need to keep hold of it with a strong formation

Do teams often have a player lying on the ground behind the wall, presumably to block if the ball goes under the jumping wall? I don’t think I’ve seen that before.

There’s an article all about it here. Growing in popularity in recent years:

Behind the wall: How Ronaldinho's free kicks helped spark trend that's taking soccer by storm

Have you noticed how many players are laying down behind the wall, risking life and limb to block a low free kick these days? Here's how it started.

CLOSE!

They seem pretty good when they get up there, but they're giving away lots of irritating chances.

Interesting. Looks like it will result in handballs.

Kane being beaten to everything. Surely going to be subbed.

 

[Alla]

Just came back from the supermarket. No goals and only 1 minute added? Did anything happen?

Annoyingly, Mats Hummels is playing very well.

 

[Alla]

You just know it’ll be 0-0 for England and Germany tomorrow.

As someone who only watches internationals, I'd just like to say that Harry Kane looks like a leaden old man who's fucking shit at football.

 

[Mugatu]

Much, much better in the last half an hour or so. Phillips has stepped up well and Sterling looks dangerous (although he needs to release the ball faster).

Kane's touch has deserted him this tournament He won't get subbed though, Calvert-Lewin isn't even on the bench!

He’s really good for Spurs. I don’t know why England don’t pick Son Heung-min to play alongside him.

Come out of the building with your hands up, you are SURROUNDED

You almost had me for a minute but I've worked out why Son Heung-Min can't play for England. He's too busy being @Diddy's entrant for ASFM.

 

[Rita]

I forgot I was going to watching this. OH WELL.

 

[Suomi]

Okay fine, I’m watching Kath and Kim

 

[ButterTart]

Jesus tap dancing Christ.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Okay fine, I’m watching Kath and Kim

That feels correct

 

[ButterTart]

Every time I see Ed Sheeran it makes me want us to lose.

 

[Kratz]

He’d have to be there of course. Him and the ever dreary David Beckham.

 

[Madison]

It’s okay, the fabulous Prince George of Cambridge is there to balance things out.

 

[dmlaw]

I hope Hummels is going to let Harry Kane back out of his pocket at the end of the match.

 

[RS]

I really hate the booing of other countries' national anthems, no matter which country it is.

And no one else do it but the English!

 

[Alla]

Why do they boo?

 

[RS]

This is boring compared to yesterday.

 

[Madison]

Why is our team so fucking boring and unsexy?

 

[Kratz]

And no one else do it but the English!

That’s not true.

 

[Alla]

Oh well done!

 

[dmlaw]

FUCK YES.

 

[Soldi]

YES!!!!

 

[Madison]

I partially retract my comment.

 

[ButterTart]

GREALISH (and Sterling)!!!!!!!!

 

[Tisch]

Grealish should've started!

Also @Ellie make more bad comments about the football please!

I spoke too soon.

 

[Ellie]

I’m watching Federer take it to 5 sets instead.

Are they playing in Baku? Dead @ so many people flying there for this.

 

[ButterTart]

Oh fuck and bugger
