England much the better team.Smash'n grab for the Germans if
they hold on here. |

By:
McAtee been woeful all tournament, Hutchison the only England player to get pass marks in my book. Comms seem to be quite impressed with England somehow.

Portugal vs Netherlands
I fancy Portugal to win here. They have the stingiest defence in the comp so far, and they are very fluid in attack, with plenty of threat on both wings, especially on the right, with Quenda on fire. Holland are as flaky as ever, and don't inspire confidence at either end of the park. I don't see them beating this skillful Portugese side. 8/11 is a good price for Portugal to qualify, imo. |
|
By:
Portugal all over them, and now Van Bommel gets himself sent off. This is going to be easier than I thought.
|

By:
possible pen for Portugal, VAR
|
|
By:
given
|
|
By:
hit the post
|
|
By:
Holland put it in the net, but offside, a warning for Portugal and they will have to be more careful.
|
|
By:
Portugal try to be too intricate in and around the box. They don't seem to have anyone willing to put their laces through the ball. They need to take their chances and put this game to bed. The longer it stays 0-0, the more chance Holland have.
|
|
By:
Credit to the Dutch, they've worked really hard, made it very difficult for Portugal, who haven't created nearly as much as they should.
|
|
By:
sucker punched , 0-1 Holland. Portugal's own fault. They haven't created enough chances and haven't taken any of the ones they had. Deserved lead for Holland, tbh.
|
|
By:
It's maybe not helped Portugal that much that Holland had a man sent off
as they may have preferred them to be more open. |
|
By:
yep, agree with you there
|
|
By:
Superb backs to the wall performance by the Dutch. Portugal got what they deserved really. Didn't create nearly enough, and missing a pen while playing a man up for most of the game is unforgiveable.

Early pelanty for Spain, rightly chalked off by VAR
Got to love var sometimes |
|
By:
0-1 england, Spain defenders didn't react
|
|
By:
keeper fecks up, 0-2 England
|
|
By:
Only just started watching,2-0 up.
What we playing like? cheers. |
|
By:
Started awfully, var overturned pelanty and we've never looked back.
|
|
By:
2-1
|
|
By:
Daft one to give away, not sure there was much contact, but
it's given. |
|
By:
Think we need another goal here.
|
|
By:
3-1.

France got lucky again and scraped through. Brilliant side, world beaters according to the comms. Not in my book. Lazy and inconsistent. Would back England to beat them any day.
|
|
By:
Italy not a bad side, imo. Won't be easy for Germany to beat them. Will have to play a lot better than against England, although it'll be a stronger eleven this time. 2-1 Germany would be my prediction, but Italy are a cohesive unit and won't be brushed aside.
|
|
By:
Denmark got lazy not closing down Merlin just outside box and he finished well
Denmark still blaming each other when France notched again. |
|
By:
true, I think tiredness played a part
|
|
By:
Group winners lost 3 from 3 so far
|
|
By:
Yep tiredness kicks in but 3 of them looking at Merlin, possibly not expecting a shot
|
|
By:
that's what Spain were lacking, someone to just hit the ball. Seems to be drilled out of a lot of these young teams especially Spain and Portugal.
|
|
By:
There's very little between all the sides in the quarter finals bar Denmark imo.
|
|
By:
Italy grew into it and were the better side, just
|
|
By:
Italy controlling the tempo now, just lack a bit of strength up front.
|
|
By:
Gnonto should've stayed on side
|
|
By:
cracking goal, right decision to miss out Gnonto
|
|
By:
Voltemade a bit overrated
|
|
By:
just as I speak,
unmarked though. |
