The Football.....

[Brandane]

One of the best, most solid performances I've ever seen England put on

Have to grudgingly agree there, and it's got me mildly concerned. I have money resting on England not winning the tournament, thanks to bets with English friends. It seemed to be easy money for me at the start of the tournament. I'm still reasonably confident.....

On the plus side we won’t here anymore about 66 or any of that it’s coming home chants either . However still think Denmark will make it hard . Italy on the other side as well who I expect to beat Spain a side that’s being rebuilt. Could be a good final if Engerland get through .

Italy are a frustrating team, they have rebuilt and are playing some great football in the tournament but then relapse into diving and cynical time wasting which, for me, is very disappointing.

Which one is you?

I'm not having a nice time. I follow Falkirk, they have destroyed my love of the game.

It's not all about winning. Football is supposed to be about entertainment.

To those who've twisted my words,what is wrong with this in my previous post?! Last night's win was over after 50 minutes. This was made obvious as most of those those watching it on the tv down my local pub wandered off after Kane's second goal to sit outside in the beer garden, or just went home. Why you ask. Because they weren't being entertained! Compare this to Tuesday's 'nail biting' win over Germany when the tv room was packed right up to the final whistle and beyond! I felt a bit 'flat' after last night's easy win. If England had grabbed a last minute scrambled goal i would've experienced a different feeling.
If you get your excitement from looking for results after games and thinking "Oh wow,my team beat so and so 4-0"then so be it. Some of us like to see a more even battle. Would those who just want a win,no matter how it's achieved be happy with a scheduled 12 round boxing match ending after a knock out in the first round,just as long as their man won? Would they also be happy with watching a Wimbledon men's final be over after a straight 3 sets victory with the loser not winning a single game,just as long as their man won? Or would they like me prefer a 5 sets 'nail biter'?

I think England's chances rest of both teams going out tonight.

Either of these teams will be a tall ask to overcome. Very sharp. Busquets has run the show tonight for me .

 

[flake99please]

An entertaining match so far, but I reckon both sets of fans would have preferred to be 4-0 up after 70 minutes played.

Im sure either Of these teams would have loved to play Ukraine as well .

Best game I've watched at this tournament.

Well, that was a decent game. Of course Italy won the penalty shoot out. So it`s either us or Denmark to plat Italy in the final.
