@kiwipie I don't want to overstate how good England are. I think their world ranking flatters them and they have had a dream draw. I also think the defence could fall apart at any moment, but just observing that technically they're the most gifted team I can remember. Which is allowing them to express themselves on the ball much more. Ironically given my reservations it is the defence where this confidence with the ball at their feet is most obvious.

Can someone who knows about soccer tell me the point of Luke shaw? I see a holding midfielder with no attacking instinct whose signature move is a gentle tap backwards to the defensive line.
Am I missing something?
Aged well.
I'm not soccer aficionado, but he's been my pick of the England team. Looks to be a very smart player and has featured in a lot of the big plays.

I wish someone would tell me I’ve aged well…
@billy-tell you've aged well
Watching this on German TV on Rab Island Croatia. Bastian Schweinsteiger is one of the experts. I see his wife is Ana Ivanovic. Nice work son.

Ha ha. Italy score on the counterattack. That’ll learn Spain for being so profligate.
Great finish
Both very nice goals in their different ways but fuck the post-goal celebrations are embarrassing.
I wonder how long they spend practicing their oh so contrived slides and choreographed arm movements. /GOM
Olmo is motm. Been great for Spain and has taken his punishment like a man without rolling around.
