OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: Rodri wins 2024 Ballon d’Or

[rolaholic]

England looking much better in possession today

 

[rolaholic]

Kane looking a bit static, should be crashing the box each time Saka goes passed his man like that which feels like each time he gets the ball

 

[Armada]

Ok so it’s not Saka LWB. But they look a bit better today just going back 3 and having trippier higher up to hold width

 

[rolaholic]

Bellwingham has been effective, Southgate might have stumbled upon something

Need Kane to show more though, no reason to be in midfield whenever the wingers are running towards the box with the ball

 

[degenerate423]

it’s almost like everyone told yall so. but somehow he would have a resurgence in saudi arabia lol

with that being said, im sure he’ll have a six pack still in 2026. hope he plays every minute again. can he even come to the US?

You cry about Ronaldo every day .

Kobbie cooking out there

As is Saka.

As is Saka.

Had Aebischer in the gulag all half

First time England have looked in control of a game the whole tournament. Haven’t created many clear chances but that’s still an improvement.

Against a squad that dominated Italy last week, credit where credit is due. Best they've played in a long time

Now just wish Kane was on it , gotta take advantage of Saka being in this mood

 

[worldbeefreeg]

England brought Shaw who would solve most of their issues on the left right and are just letting him sit there.

Southgate gonna Southgate.

 

[rolaholic]

Will never not be surprised by how comfortable he looks out there while dictating the play for them man

This match sucks. Why doesn’t the Euro Cup get the slander the Copa America gets? This is awful football.

Canada plays a more attractive brand of football than 95% of the teams in the Euro Cup

It’s just been simple changes too. Keep trippier high and wide stop asking foden to be a winger and have him be on the right of midfield and Bellingham on the left of midfield swapping that lead to much better control. That and Mainoo of course being a real midfielder and not an experiment.

This match is putting me to sleep

Yea the only big teams who have played remotely attractive ball have been Spain, Germany and Netherlands to a lesser degree.

We've seen much better playing style from your Austrias, Turkeys, Georgias and Switzerlands than France, Portugal, England and Italy

 

[rolaholic]

The Swiss are flipping the script this half, been the much more threatening team after HT

 

[Armada]

I don’t get why these announcers keep complaining about foden and Bellingham dropping sometimes to pick up the ball and move along play are they just supposed to hang around Kane and not help the team move the ball.

The crowd is so bored that they look like those fake paper mannequins from a few years ago

[sfc415]

Now that he’s not being managed by Pep, why doesn’t Phil Foden show off his prime Ronaldinho skills and creativity like he did in a 5 second clip against his friends in some back alley of Manchester? Why doesn’t Southgate bring on Grealish since he could potentially be the next Neymar?

 

[Sinner]

SWISS!!!!
