Football - Euro 2020 Championship

Jalapeno

Anyone else noticed all the two handed shoves that seemingly go unpenalised in the Euros ?

It's wierd seeing as anything else seems to get blown up over !

England qualifying to knockout stage scoring one goal. 

Or to put a slightly more positive (*cough*) spin on it...England qualify to knockout stage without conceding a goal  

Because they're already through, I just hope they try and play positively for once, 
A bit of the belief and passion that Denmark showed last night wouldn't go amiss
 

This will probably also create a few changes - a) to hopefully create some life regarding attack and b) plus rest a couple of players and see if 'Arry' and Jordan are fit (ish) - With 2 other groups to play after us, it is no use guessing now who we will be playing or not playing and no one knows how the French group is going to finish, ditto Spain group 

Think the Spain group is so wide open that all teams can qualify or be out

I see Gilmour is out.

I might be cynical, but I'm sure Roger Waters is responsible.

I’d give Harry Kane a rest tonight .....

He certainly looked like he needed one last time.

Yes, it appears that there is something amiss. Maybe its fatigue. He just doesn't look like HK on the pitched.

I do hope Scotland make it through tonight, it would be great for the three GB teams to be in the last 16

Wholeheartedly agree - Wales deserve to be in the last 16, and if Scotland show the same determination they did at Wembley they do too.

Yes, I hope so. It might force some changes leading to a new way forward for the rest of the tournament.

Don't forget, they need to finish second in their group so I expect there will be three defensive midfielders instead this time, and Derren Brown on the touchline controlling the minds of the Scotland and Croatia teams to ensure the correct result there

Didn't he have a rest for almost 90 minutes at the weekend?

Maybe a relaxing day trip to Manchester, do a bit of window shopping...

Well Croatia are there for the taking. They haven't been that impressive so far

I don’t understand the Gilmour situation. 

Mount and Chilwell hugged him. So they now isolate. 

What about Steve Clarke? He hugged him too. 

Everyone who trained and travelled with him also ok. 

Seems a bit odd.

Indeed, surely most of the Scotland team, if not the squad, should be self-isolating.  Are there not official Covid protocols for all teams in the competition?

As I heard on R4 this morning, Mount, Chilwell and Gilmour (all Chelsea players) were together for 30 minutes or so after the game having a chat in the tunnel. I think the idea is this extended period together, effectively "indoors" is the issue

OK, that does make sense.  Because they illustrated the story with the pictures of them hugging on the pitch, I thought the suggestion was that's when they could have caught the lurgy.

I don't know one person that says footy. So quite clearly, not everyone says it. Maybe everyone under the age of 9 does.

Right. I'm from the north west which is the heartland of footy and I live in Sheffield which has the world's oldest footy club, Hallam. You, from London, don't have this heritage and therefore can't comment. Soz, but that's the end of it.
