SympathysSilhouette Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Sad we are wasting our Golden Generation on that guy, but I don't expect our FA to do anything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael* Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Belgium-Italy was pretty much the ultimate example of the difference that a coach and his philosophy can make to a game. It beggars belief that despite being 1-0 down and facing at least three defenders on yellow cards, Hazard and De Bruyne didn’t try to run at them more. Lukaku was atrocious too, if rather isolated by Fellaini's inability to turn and run forward. All is not lost for Belgium though, at least not yet. Origi might be erratic in front of goal, but his mobility and close control caused Italy problems. I can't imagine there's any conceivable way that he and Dembele don't start the next game. When was the last time an Italian team came to a big tournament without being described as ‘ageing’? It might be time we did away with it as a word implying some kind of limitation or weakness in reference to international football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael* Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 That was quite fun, wasn’t it? What a terrific result for Hungary, one of the real outsiders at the tournament. While Ronaldo and Bale continue grabbing the headlines for being miles better than any of their teammates, the much less heralded Alaba seems to be in a similar position with Austria. He was by far their best player, always involved at both ends of the pitch and really unlucky not to grab himself a goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d suggest Cristiano take a long hard look in the mirror, but well, you know. Iceland’s presence alone at the Euros is a minor miracle, they used what was available to them and produced a wonderful fighting performance. The last few games have really proved that individual stars can be upstaged by teams full of spirit. The writers in Reykjavik played a blinder last night, too...
