Vickydev Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 Horrible scenes. So many players have heart conditions and its rarely detected somehow. Hopefully he makes it
Norman Posted June 12, 2021 Author Posted June 12, 2021 Hope he gets well soon. Game suspended. Sad sad pictures out there.
Vickydev Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 Yeah, great work by the medical personnel on the ground.
rising Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 Hoping he gets well soon he is one of players i really admired and thought main reason for spurs being competitive before he left them
Norman Posted June 13, 2021 Author Posted June 13, 2021 Belgium thrash Russia 3-0 Finland beat (upset) Denmark 1-0 but the result of this game was the least of anyone's worries.
Norman Posted June 13, 2021 Author Posted June 13, 2021 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.
Norman Posted June 13, 2021 Author Posted June 13, 2021 No Grealish and Sancho for England... Sterling's honeymoon period continues.
Vickydev Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 Southgate should be sacked at halftime, terrible selections
Norman Posted June 13, 2021 Author Posted June 13, 2021 Sterling gives England the lead. Who'd have thought?
Norman Posted June 13, 2021 Author Posted June 13, 2021 England 1-0 Croatia Pretty bland game except for the first 20 odd minutes. Ranvir 1

Ranvir Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited June 13, 2021 by The Realist Norman 1

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.
Norman Posted June 14, 2021 Author Posted June 14, 2021 Austria 3-1 North Macedonia 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.

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.
