    Not the same. France won't sit back so deep. Yes, France plays conservatively, but not singlemindedly defensively.

    DGAF who you are, but if you play defensive football, I don't want to see you go through, ever. Buh-fuckin-bye.

    Excuse my French, but GTFOH Slovenia.

    Euro 2024

    About time Portugal started using the right side instead of Ronaldo/Leao down the left.

    Winner's gonna come through Cancelo.

    Euro 2024

    Repeatedly ignored De Bruyne. That should have been his prime directive from the coach: you get the ball, give it to De Bruyne.

    Shitty tactics lost Belgium the game. Giving De Bruyne zero time on the ball was idiotic.

    Euro 2024

    Onana stinking up the Belgium midfield, never giving De Bruyne the ball.

    It wasn't Rodri, it was Morata. Williams started the counter, passed the ball to Morata in the middle, then had beaten his marker, wide open for a carpet pass. Morata never looked back at Williams. Huge fail. Look at this gaping hole.

    Jordi Alba

    Crack goal yesterday. Alba has always had a fantastic volley shot. In retrospect, he really should have taken more shots during his Barca days. Too drilled into looking for the square pass or cross.

    Spain fucked up an earlier counter with Williams free on the left and ready to burst in on goal 1v1 with the keeper; instead, the idiot with the ball went with a long lofted ball to the right. Never even looked Williams' way.

    Rodri from outside the box is always a good bet.

    And there you go. Gave England extra minutes, total gift.

    Slovakia wasteful in possession now. Could have held the ball for a few minutes but wasted a poor outside shot and some unnecessary misplaced passes.

    Mighty Slovakia is going to send England home. TBH, they're playing really nice football with lots of movement and sharp passing.

    Classy play by Albania today. Played clean, played positive. Hats off.

    About time. Shit delivery all game.

    Euro 2024

    Hahahaha! Fuck defensive teams. tbh, Germany's delivery into the box has been lacking all game. Finally a good ball (and a player up to the finish).

    Fer-nan-desh. 3 syllables. Men-desh. 2 syllables, not 1. Appears you are correct about Pepe, even though La Liga announcers (incorrectly) used 2 syllables the entire time he was at Madrid. https://www.joe.co.uk/sport/it-turns-out-you-have-been-pronouncing-pepes-name-wrong-this-whole-time-112980

    Nah, you're wrong. The Anglo announcer pronounced everything with 1 less syllable than there should be. You're correct in that it is more of an "ezh" sound than a "ez." Fer-nan-dezh, not "Fern-ands." I studied Brasilian Portuguse for awhile, which is a whole different animal and pronounciation...
