Ph.c.

He’s regarded as a huge talent in Spain and was instrumental in them surviving in La Liga - Villarreal also just gave him a 5 year deal. Knee jerk reactions and loose claims all over this thread

It’s Michael Laudrup - and he’ll raise Michu from the dead and bring him as well!

I don’t accuse ppl of wanting us to loose. That’s just low. Good evening.

Shoot Rudi!

Madrid taken the foot off the gas pedal

Well, if that’s your level… Did you enjoy us conceding in the first half so you could prove a point? Try and read some of the other comments here, you might get enlightened.

Looking forward to read how you’ll put that goal on AC as well

Ok. You are wrong, though 🙌

This is most of all our press not being tight, aggressive and coordinated enough. We need to be high up the pitch, but it only works if we press well and clever. Do ppl really think our very solid back 3 has suddenly gone bad?

I’m not. Should have this and that - as others write, this is tactical. Our press needs to be more aggressive and coordinated. If not RM will make any defender look stupid. btw, AC has saved us a couple times already

If you think he’s to blame for this you don’t see what’s going on here

It’s not the cb’s, it’s a naïve approach leaving way too much room for Vinicius, our midfield losing the ball in dangerous places and world class from them

Think your memory is messing with you. He took a blow in that Barca game and was not the same for a while afterwards - other than that his skills and potential to become world class has always been obvious for anyone with half a football brain. Now he is and I don’t think we can replace him. Hard to name more than a couple of defenders with the same technique, awareness and football intelligence, the last two years he has improved a lot physically and mentally and he can play both right back and DM should the need arise. His only weakness is injuries. Huge blow, but hey, nothing official from Barca yet.

Seems like lots of fans don’t expect Tuchel actually thinks about formations, tactics, strategy very much. I’m quite sure he does and also that he and his ppl are more competent than all TSE-users combined. Criticism should always be welcome of course, and no one should be above it, but come on - some ppl even calling for him to be replaced. It’s utterly ridiculous. Btw, it’s always good to remember that there are two teams on the pitch, both trying their best to score and keeping the opponent from scoring. Juventus - while not as good as some years ago - are still very much a quality team with the worlds most experienced and clever defensive players. It’s no catastrophe to not score against them, and it’s not necessarily a tactical failure - might just be that they are really good defensively, and no matter who we put on the field would have had a hard time. Chill ppl.

The best of luck to England. Italy has been more entertaining, but your team is so extremely talented with incredible depth, and combined with Southgates man management I think they are small favourites

Not the bacon we keep ourselves, from what I hear you get the good stuff. Next level conspiracy thinking in Italy now - mind blowing: https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/euro-2020/blog-del-direttore/2021/07/09-83430612/italia-inghilterra_the_big_cucumber

Like trees, every country has them - some more and bigger than others.

Danes mostly love England btw, our BBC has been airing Barnaby for decades and fish 'n chips are everywhere. Just please keep buying our bacon, it pays for half our NHS.

Of course it's a minority, even if I accidentally wrote 'English fans' and not 'some English fans' I'm not that stupid. I just think that you might have a bigger problem in your fan base than many of you care to recognise.

Yes, and he got a yellow for it, not a pen. That's why most pundits and experts in Denmark blame the ref, not Sterling. I do hope that young Damsgaard has learned from that, though, even if it may be wishful thinking as he does play in Italy. In Denmark, the widespread narrative is that England were the best team and deserved the victory. Next, that Denmark as many feared got tired because of the exhausting match in Baku's heat and had to sub our best attacking players early. Unluckily, Jensen got injured in ET, so England played 11 vs 10 for 20 minutes or so - it doesnt seem like anyone outside Denmark noticed though. And lastly, that some unfortunate things happened on and outside the pitch - the booing of the Danish anthem, the refs decision to give a pen and not to stop the play even though another ball was nearby, the laser on Schmeichel and Pierre-Emile and afterwards the misbehaving of some English fans towards the Danish fans. Even though there are morons everywhere I can't imagine spitting on children etc. happening in Denmark or indeed anywhere else in Western Europe for an international match, especially not when the homeside wins, sorry to say. But, the vast majority are able to give recognition to England for a fully deserved victory. I'm wondering how the English media would have reacted had it been the other way around.

- My English friends, who are not hooligans themselves, seem to think that only a few rotten fruits are ruining the English fans' reputation, but that's not true. It was very clear to me yesterday that being aggressive and verbally violent is an integrated and socially accepted norm for English football fans, she says. Children were spat on. Classy. https://www.dr.dk/sporten/fodbold/em/danske-fans-ramt-af-skaeldsord-og-spytklatter-ved-em-semifinale-jeg-skal-aldrig

Congratulations England on a deserved victory. Really proud of Denmark, with all they've been through the performances have been truly amazing. And they are just getting started. Too bad the decisive goal came from a Sterling dive and poor refereeing, but with all the chances England created, it was deserved. Southgate has really done well, though I don't get why England got so defensive against 10 man in 2nd half OT. Good luck on Sunday.

Having now had to apologise two times within 24 hours, I've realised that the growing nervousness for the match has made me way too trigger happy. I'm hereby imposing a posting ban on myself for the rest of the tournament. Good game tomorrow!

Sorry, my bad.

Sry, *some* English fans.
