Major Isewater Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 8 hours ago, Super said: Wonder if there will be a similar meltdown in France to a 1-0 victory. Nope. They accept that they weren’t at their best but that the win was important against a limited but fit and well organised team. Mbappe quoted as being able to play on with a mask being made for him. Having had a broken nose myself ( reports are mixed for KM , some say broken others not ! ) it’s difficult to breathe normally until the swelling has gone down. Not great for the lad. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 (edited) 19 hours ago, Davefevs said: Fair. But….even if one team France is better than us (and most of us agree France are) that means an expectation of winning the tournament is not reasonable. Getting the final (assuming the draw allow that’s, I haven’t checked) is met expectations? It’s not as black and white as that - if we played France I’d expect us to win at least 35%-40% of the time so in a one off game anything is possible. Predicted ‘route to the final’ aside, my expectation for this team would be to make the final. Edited June 18 by Phileas Fogg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusX Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 15 hours ago, formerly known as ivan said: Exactly my point. The question was does the advantage play a part in the decision. It’s the biggest part of the decision Of course it is, he gained an advantage by it. I dont know if you just made your point badly but quite obviously it wouldn't be reviewed if he didn't go on to score - because there would be no goal to review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 13 hours ago, Jose said: Probably not as they’ve shown they can go on and win it regardless…….either way an enjoyable watch. That is literally the only mitigating factor between reactions to France and England's results. In some ways it's a fair one, Deschamps has won them a tournament - he's also failed in two finals (but I guess in credit for getting there). He's also crashed them out of Euro 2020 poorly in the last 16 after a slow start (something Southgate hasn't done) so could go either way for them from here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany and Spain hammered their opposition in their first game, everyone else goes home (no point being there) and they play the final three weeks early on Saturday……..that’s the mental thinking on social media and football forums for you despite every previous tournament suggesting differently.

As have the Italians. The Greeks won the Euros being very ordinary and having no stars in their side. There will be as many twists and turns as a twisty turny thing at a Twister tournament hosted by Chubby Checker.
