Enjoy that result with a coke Ronaldo. Tosser.
Got a problem with people who dedicate their lives to winning?
No. What a bizarre thing to write.
Define bizarre.
What you wrote. But feel free to explain how you came to that conclusion.
Pretty clear if you ask me. I’ll leave it there.

Have you been drinking? How on earth did you interpret my comment as having “a problem with people who dedicate their lives to winning”. Either back that up or withdraw it.
Billy Gilmour has tested positive for Covid-19 so has to self-isolate for 10 days. A big blow for the Jocks.
Ukraine 0 Austria 1
North Macedonia 0 Netherlands 3
Netherlands and Austria go though to the next round.
Finland 0 Belgium 2
Russia 1 Denmark 4
Belgium and Denmark go though to the next round.
Czech Republic and England are in the 16 next now too.

England OR CR are through I imagine as they only have to play each other but not both just yet surely.
I thought they just said both were through during the telecast. England definitely guaranteed to go through

Sorry I thought it was only top 2 going through. I forgot about some of the 3rd places.
I saw somewhere that after 71% of the games are played, only 31% of the teams are eliminated. As a neutral I love the drama of playoffs but it feels a bit stupid when most of the 3rd place teams make it through.

Not even sentimental favourites given Denmark are now the people's team. While Finland were holding Belgium, a quarter-final with Finland must have looked enticing.
Billy Gilmour has tested positive for Covid-19 so has to self-isolate for 10 days. A big blow for the Jocks.
Mason Mount and Ben Chiswell, his Chelsea team mates paying for England, hugged him on the field whistle so it's self-isolation for them too.
What about all the Scottish players he's been in a bubble with for the whole tournament? Or are they too manly so didn't do any hugging?
@kiwimurph Nope, both going through.

But how? Who/Where did he get covid from?
They haven't said. He is also asymptomatic, but obviously this was picked up with their regular testing.
Is there any more hype than an English soccer team in a tournament? ITV coverage - Gary Neville with his wing-gers. Roy Keane, it’s grand boy. Ripe for a last 16 knockout.

I don't understand the second sentence.
Only thing more hyped would be an English soccer team before a tournament though.

In any case grealish is apparently the next messi.

Holy shit it's ridiculous eh. Someone I usually consider level headed was losing their shit on FB the other about how Southgate"s hatred of Grealish is going to cost him.
Fuuucking hell, all he's done is not start him and it's hatred.
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?
Czech defender blatantly pushes Maguire to the ground in the box
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.
