Take the piss out of the Grealish love in as much as you want …. But England are so much better tonight because of him.
.... and now he's off. Czech defender blatantly pushes Maguire to the ground in the box and..... nothing. From the ref or VAR. They need to win to stay at Wembley, they really need a second goal to ease the nerves.
Big wraps on Jadon Sancho. But what does he have to do to get a game?
England 1 Czech Republic 0. England go through top of the group.
Scotland 1 Croatia 3. Scotland out.
Scotland lacked quality when finishing. Two great chances when the ball was whipped into the box and neither was taken. The Modric goal was world class.
Plus for England - stay at Wembley.
Minus for England - play France, Germany or Portugal next. OK so if Hungary beats Germany and France beats Portugal they could still be playing Hungary at Wembley. 3-6 anyone?

I have a bridge to sell you....
Even the English commentators were laughing at Maguire there.
Yeah they rarely give that stuff. Always amusing that the ref goes and warns the players before corners are taken only to ignore all the push and shove

It was a light hand on the back, there was no push and shove!

It must be frustrating being an England - you've got some fantastic young attacking talent for the first time in years, you watch them perform on the biggest stages in the world's toughest league for their clubs and being coached to back themselves by some of the world's best managers like Pep, Tuchel and Klopp and then you watch them playing an overly-conservative and unimaginative brand of football while playing for England (if they're lucky to get off the bench) while being coached by a guy who would be lucky to get a gig coaching in the Championship. It's a bit like being an All Black supporter at the moment...

All crap jokes aside, you are right though. England are a team playing far below the sum of their parts.
That was a crazy 2 hours - England had all 4 countries as their opponents at some point and all teams bar France were going out at some point. Some really good ties in the last 16 to look forward to.

the Tournament was and still is screaming out for some jeopardy, so the knock outs will finally add something.
According to the bookies pre-tournament, Turkey are the most fancied team to be knocked out ($50) and Wales the biggest outsiders to qualify ($125). So no real shocks in terms of qualifiers.
Favourites to reach the quarter-finals are
France v Spain
Italy v Belgium
Netherlands v Denmark
England v Sweden
although Portugal, Germany, Ukraine are not huge outsiders for their ties.

I am astounded that England are favoured to progress at Germany's expense. While not the greatest German team of all time, it is still incredibly powerful as they showed against Portugal.
Some great matchups in the next round.
Let's hope that the refs don't have a big impact on the games like a certain Spanish ref this morning. 3 penalties, of which two were dubious, and then misses an obvious penalty late in the game.
Wales May rue that sustained early pressure with no return.
Great goal from Denmark but against the run of play.
Since then all Denmark
Shit yellow card decision against Moore
2-0 now after defensive guck up
Should have been a free kick to Wales further up the pitch for the hack on Moore though
Shit refereeing
Bale stole Moore’s opportunity there
@mikethesnow but seriously, what was that clearing kick, very soon after a shit turnover on the far side too. How much does 3 have on Wales to bow out?

Your team was a disgrace today imo. Street fighters. Bale clapping the ref sarcastically was the icing. Good riddance. I prefer your rugby team!

Harsh
Wales we’re outplayed and deservedly lost.
And the referee was average at best and shouldn’t proceed beyond the round of 16
@billy-tell said in Euros:
Italy players diving all over the shop. Austrian just get on with the job and score!
Great to see

Bullshit call
I doubt it. They have the right technology.

Sit corrected
not only can he not score, he's blocking his teammates from doing so too.
