Why didn't Denmark make any attempt to attack?Quote:

So little Slovenia progress to the knockout stages.
England are absolutely rank
unlucky Serbia, home time for them
Danes three points from three games go through
One thing is certain ……. England have not the remotest chance of winning this tournament.
What an abhorrent group. 6 games 5 draws 1 win and only 7 goals.

Yet they’ve topped their group. Unreal.Quote:

They looked very good at times as well imo quick going forwardQuote:

I'm not unduly concerned. Southgate is a nice guy, a good ambassador type but he's not got it to lead a team to a major tournament. A better manager would make this side frightening. Hopefully he does enough to keep his job for the WC.

They looked exhausted, no energy at all similar to Scotland's last game against Hungary.Quote:

Exactly what I thought. I wonder if we would have seen a bit more energy if they hadn’t already qualified.Quote:

Considering the players they have upfront that is really poor.
The draw looks very favourable for them now.Quote:

As poor as England have been, they probably will have enough to bore their way through that side of the draw.
I'll be surprised if they're not in the final.
Definitely last 4 minimum. They are going to be hard to beat regardless of how they are playing.Quote:

Not that I’d class them as a top team but that a Belgium now in the opposite side of the tournament to England also.
Really hoping that they get the Dutch in the next game as in the previous 3 games are anything to go off they won’t get past them and the Italians.
Wouldn't say that with any certainty to be honest. Holland have looked pretty poor.Quote:

We know for a fact we are better than them which brings us yet again to the point that our poor performance is largely down to poor coaching.
Red card for Czechia
Am I the only one who can't stand Ronaldo? Always find it so disappointing when players of such skill exhibit so much arrogance, entitlement and lack of humility. He can learn so much from modric!
Portugal falling around all over the place, ref doing well not to buy it!
Brutal decision.Quote:

Possible penalty for Portugal, defender definitely grabbed Ronaldo's shirt in the box.
I guess because you could then argue that an even if the second yellow is just, the first might have been harsh and wasn’t viewed by VAR, or a second yellow for persistent fouling is subjective and can’t be VARd.Quote:

Both result in the player leaving the pitch permanently so I don’t understand why one is worthy of a review and another not when they result in the same outcome?
Anyway this Ref is card happy that’s for sure and won’t be surprised to see the numbers levelled up at some point!
Ronaldo like a spoiled brat not getting its' way.
Excellent decision , Ronaldo greetin like the bairn he isQuote:

My admiration for him as a footballer is far outweighed by his self-centred and narcissistic obsession.Quote:

Why is he playing tonight, Portugal make a lot of changes and he still startsQuote:

Georgia showing us how to get the job done.
So Scotland finishes ahead of Georgia in qualifying yet here we are...
All this tippy tappy football, sideways and constant back passing has completely ruined football. So much better when teams get stuck in and Georgia have been a great watch, I think Pep has a lot to answer for.
Either 17/2 or 19/2 at the start of the game.Quote:

Excluding Italy, England have a piss easy route to the final yet again. Slovakia, Italy and one of Romania, Austria, Turkey or Slovenia.
Bet Switzerland knock out Italy too.
This is the only slight problem with group stages, Portugal have stuck a pretty much 2nd team as they had already won the group, big advantage to Georgia.
According to the commentator, they’re “11 excited puppies”. I think he meant it as a compliment but maybe he needs to rethink!Quote:

Scenes for Georgia.
well done Georgia
i've had them on my mind
Georgia have fully deserved that. A real sleeves rolled up performance. Outstanding hit on the break football
Turkey go through 2-1, Czech out
And there you go. Little Georgia, full of energy and belief have qualified while Negative Norman's lads are home already.
Great performance from Georgia 👏
