England vs Croatia to start less than couple of hours from now at Wembley. First real crunch game of the tournament. 

 

Expect England to win 2-1 

 

Austria should take care of North Macedonia quite comfortably. 

 

Netherlands should win at least 3-0 against Ukraine in Amsterdam.

Where have all of the technical flair players gone?

 

Are there any European players with the skill of Zidane, Baggio, Bergkamp, Del Piero, Totti, Gascoigne, Figo, Henry, Iniesta?

 

The only one I can think of is Eden Hazard.

Unfortunately the game has changed and its more physical and about speed than flair and creativity.

 

The classic no 10s are almost extinct.

 

Hazard is a joke though, got fat and been embarrassing at Real Madrid. Always "injured" as well.

The matches are just soulless without the magical players.

 

Hazard has been very unprofessional but he is probably the best dribbler in Europe when fit. Even then he's still not as skilful as guys like Baggio, Zidane, Laudrup, Ginola, Zola.

 

Henry was a great player who had great technical ability as well as lightning speed.

Netherlands 3-2 Ukraine 

 

Looks like the latter was an absolute cracker of a game. Ukraine surely aren't as bad as I thought they're. 

 

 

Quite simply game of the tournament so far. 

 

Netherlands are quite good tbf

Yeah but their defense is kinda meh with the exception of De Vrij. A good attack and a great midfield with Gini, De Jong and Van Anholt. 

 

Expect them to reach the quarters at least.
