Euro 2024

ah well...... at least the Scottish fans will have had a good drink

[Durhamfootman]

They've scored!

OG, I see

Switzerland 3-1 Hungary

Spain unleashing the beast on Croatia

[Durhamfootman]

I've only seen a bit, but it included the 3 first half goals. Croatia's defending was practically criminal for the second two. First goal was excellent

I didn't notice much of the tikky tokky stuff from Spain that usually sends me to sleep. Are they trying something different this year?

Italy 2-1 Albania

[alfie]

Thought Italy would have won more easily : Albania had their moment in the sun with the earliest goal ever in the Euros , in the first minute ! But the lead didn't last long...

[sussexpob]

England have started well, but for the last 10-15 minutes they sat back and allowed Serbia to start to play. The Southgate trademark.

This is not a great team, keep attacking!!!

Saka and Jude have been brilliant so far

[bigfluffylemon]

Well, a win is a win but that does not exactly inspire confidence.

[sussexpob]

Thought I was watching Wimbledon in the 90s second half.

Just blasting long balls at Harry Kane every time we got it. Hardly strung a bloody pass together for 45 minutes.

Gary Linekar says it.... typical Southgate. Score a goal, go negative, dont change it as it comes apart.

Pretty lucky to come away with a win

[Gingerfinch]

Well, a win is a win but that does not exactly inspire confidence.

I wasn't that confident before the game. Still, a win and 3 points

Gotta do better than that though!

[bigfluffylemon]

So now we have two tournament group stages to sweat on England underperforming.

Even when they win stuff, England never make it easy on watching fans. Penalties, super overs, extra time in the football and rugby WCs that we won...

[Durhamfootman]

I had an early night, so I recorded the match and then struggled to stay asleep. BBC report says 'fell back into old habits after the break'

I'm beginning to think it might not be worth watching

TAA, I see, after our discussion earlier in the week....... Sir G really is a big daft bollok. Trying to be too clever by half, perhaps

[Durhamfootman]

I'm guessing that TAA mean't 2 defensive mids and Foden pushed out wide left, where he's half the player he is in the centre

either that or TAA was playing out wide and Sir G was trying to pretend that he wasn't playing 5 at the back against Serbia

[Durhamfootman]

ah well.... 1-0 is still a result, even if everyone watching is falling asleep or biting their nails for 45 mins
