joe jordans teeth Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 So far we have learned Croatia are way off the side they have produced in recent times and Scotland are still awful,much like the English pyramid the levels are increasing between the big countries which is rather sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croatia have had certain chances and a good chunk of the ball. A small country though. May not keep producing the same talent.

Only if the encroachment was by a defender and it had an impact on the penalty or the following play.

There have been enjoyable games but Spain seem a lot less dominant than usual for one. Croatia seem lax and to have poor finishing. Germany on paper have had players at top clubs across Europe but disappointing since 2017. Edited June 15 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't count any chickens with our defence. Germany are a strange one too , didn't rate them pre tournament but they looked good Friday , of course that could have been Scotland making them look good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 Anyone else find the England pieces on ITV by Gabriel Clarke incredibly nauseating and cringeworthy.

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 Wonder if Albania will cause a surprise tonight. Italy played okay at Wembley last Autumn but are not what they were in 2021 or indeed the run up. Another who have had issues finishing chances, Italy that is.

Redstart Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 7 hours ago, Numero Uno said: I wouldn’t be so harsh on Clarke tbh. The side he is managing would be top 6 but not 100% guaranteed to win the Championship imo. Souness called it spot on, look who the German lads play for then look at the Scottish lads. They needed everyone bang at it last night to compete and it just didn’t happen. They conceded early and panic set in. It was a carbon copy of watching us a few years back before Pearson steadied it. I'd agree with you if you're looking at the Germany game in isolation, but I'm also looking at just one win in the previous nine, including a home defeat to Northern Ireland. Clarke will do very well to keep his job if they end up with nil points from their next 2 matches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 (edited) Is it just me or has there been a pact between all the teams in the Euros this year not to bother with this defending malarkey in any shape or form ?

I think it is probably just a sign of the times with the way modern football is going , the art of defending seems to be slowly going out of the game it feels like..
