SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2023/2024

Turkey 1-0 up

 

Nice header. But WTF was the goal keeper doing? Smh

 

It's like thinking the janitor in the church knows something about transubstantiation.

 

England route to glory:-

Serbia
Denmark
Slovenia
Slovakia
Switzerland
Turkey.

 

Some white trash knobheads getting on the bus armed with boxes of alcohol going on about "Bellingham bruv"

 

People are calling Southgate's reign in charge as successful. Reaching the 2018 World Cup Semi Final and Final of Euro 2020 were solid achievements, but I think defining something as successful is actually winning a major trophy. Despite England's performances being an eye sore, if they go to win this Euros, it'll be a success.

 

which is the whiter team? it's confusing

 

Netherlands have turned it around 2-1. Gakpo scores again

 

England-Netherlands it is.

 

Toney's penalty was cold, I have to admit. I know he does the same thing in the Prem but to keep your eyes on the keeper the whole time in that kind of pressure situation takes some balls.

 

Hoping Uruguay win this one. Could go either way.

 

If I tried that I would miss the ball completely and slip over on my arse.

 

Im trying to remember- have they ever met in a k/o tie?

 

Nope. 88, 90 and 96, all three times in the group stage. First ever k/o tie this Wednesday. In the most beautiful stadium of Germany, in Dortmund!

 

No.

 

Dutch did impress me the way they came back into it a bit.

 

Same. When their energy levels go up, they look difficult to handle. But Turkey impressed me too with their energy and willingness to get the ball forward. They're dangerous from set pieces and have pace.

 

England's average touch map. Fitbaw isnt quantum field theory, is it

1) Stop playing a fucking right back on left wing

2) make sure your your dickhead striker isnt playing centre midfielder.

Sorted

 

You mark.my words:-

Southgate will be sir Gareth, England will win this, The hype will take over, England will plotz badly henceforth..

 

I'm starting to think England can win it under the current tactics and style of play. It's not been pretty viewing and you need luck along the way, but up to now, luck is with England. Things are going their way.

 

I'll learn all of you......

 

Quality of play on both tournaments hasn't been superb. Very good teams yes, but nobody that you see and think "I wouldn't want to play those guys next".

 

Yes. There's no monsters in it. No great imagination, no real managerial brilliance either.

 

.....

 

Spain very slight favourites. 2/1

England 2.5/1

 

Won't Spain be missing a host of players for the France game through suspension and injury? Could cost them a place in the final.

 

Yes they will.....I think 2/1 is very optimistic for them.

 

France evens to be winner of tie. I take it that means they can win in 90 minutes, extra-time or penalties. I may stick a fiver on that.

 

They usually refer to that as "Qualify"

 

The whitest team in the tournament?

Ukraine

The whitet team in Europe?

Iceland
