Fear Of The Fox Posted 26 March 2024 Posted 26 March 2024 12 minutes ago, BlueSi13 said: They don't look that upset really. All these teams playing the "finals" today were given a chance because of the new Euro format. Ukraine was absolutely abysmal and they've qualified for the Euro. That Georgia vs Greece game was worse than a Sunday League clash between local pubs. The Wales vs Poland was a bit better because of the complete naivity of the Polish players who still think they're world class or something. Any other serious national team would have scored 5 past this Wales joke of a team. 1
Finnegan Posted 26 March 2024 Posted 26 March 2024 I love that there's still England fans insecure enough to let ****ing Wales live rent free in their heads. 1

purpleronnie Posted 27 March 2024 Posted 27 March 2024 Danny ward didnt have a save to make all game but managed to lose. Really thought Wales would win tonight. Such a shame they won't be at the Euro's, their fans are pretty special.

Tbf the celebrations by the Welsh team in 2016 when England were knocked out was pretty OTT so i can understand why some are giving it back. Got to be able to take it if youve dished it out. Im sure England fans will be getting it from both barrels when theyre knocked out in the summer 😂 Edited 27 March 2024 by South Shire Fox

Leicesterpool Posted 27 March 2024 Posted 27 March 2024 Have to say predicting the winners for this is difficult, France of course the likeliest to say but as we know France tend to be good, bad.. WC 18 Winners, Euro 21 they were out in the round 16, WC finalists so probably this means there not going to be so successful this time round. Germany maybe better this time round, but still a long way away I'd say from being tournament winners even in their own backyard. England under Southgate very unlikely, Quarter Finals again I think. Spain is in the only ones I'd say I tip for success.
Super_horns Posted 27 March 2024 Posted 27 March 2024 Unlucky for Sam Johnstone . Sounds like he would have been 2nd choice too . Is Pope fit soon ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68674309

Yeah, defensively they look vulnerable, but you could say that about most teams. A final place should be the minimum expectation.

Leicesterpool Posted 27 March 2024 Posted 27 March 2024 As weve said we have got the talent to win a tournament but not the manager. People stick up for Southgate, saying hes done better than most... yes but with the talent hes got last few years, we should have at least lifted a trophy. Threw away to many opportunities. 1

cruzFOX Posted 28 March 2024 Posted 28 March 2024 This has to be the last saloon for safegate. we can’t get to the finals and whimper out again. something tells me he’s gonna suprise us all and go against his better nature and actually play on the front foot from the first game. He’s not gonna continue on probably so why not let the shackles off the players.

Would have to work otherwise he’ll be accused of being too open . Don't disagree our biggest strength is the front line and we should use that to our advantage but you know how fickle the media and fans can be. Edited 28 March 2024 by Super_horns
