I must have missed the play, what did Kimmich do?
Havertz has been off the entire first half.Β He's seemed to stop a lot of potential attacks.Β ΒGermany a bit unlucky to be down here, but not sure I like the way they lined up either.Β Havertz is not in the game.Β Gnabry is a bit out of position, I think you gotta put Volland in here.Β Kimmich is getting nothing done up the wing against Hernandez, I'd sub him off.Β Get more down Gosens side.Β If it were me, Havertz Kimmich out at HT, Volland, Neuheus in.Β Push Gnabry out wide, put Volland in the middle.Β France is very difficult to play against however.
He got caught up with Herandez - Kimmich was upended and ended up on his back, but in the process, his foot hit Hernandez in the head.I must have missed the play, what did Kimmich do?
Honestly, given the way the two sides have played the last year I was impressed with Germany - not a ton of chances but enough and lots of possession.Β They are just a Hummels body control error away from maybe looking like the better side.Β I've never been sold on Havertz - and to be fair he hasn't had a lot of opportunities - I'm not sure who they have behind him but I could see swapping him.Germany a bit unlucky to be down here, but not sure I like the way they lined up either.Β Havertz is not in the game.Β Gnabry is a bit out of position, I think you gotta put Volland in here.Β Kimmich is getting nothing done up the wing against Hernandez, I'd sub him off.Β Get more down Gosens side.Β If it were me, Havertz Kimmich out at HT, Volland, Neuheus in.Β Push Gnabry out wide, put Volland in the middle.Β France is very difficult to play against however.
I did see that.Β Didn't think there was a foul either way, just Hernandez holding him off and being stronger on the play.Β Inadvertent boot to the head....ΒHe got caught up with Herandez - Kimmich was upended and ended up on his back, but in the process, his foot hit Hernandez in the head.
Wait til he tells you how Ronaldo is tied with Messi for Copa America goals in about 50 less games - then you'll see!Oh the joys of watching the Euroβs at work and having to deal with βsoccer guyβ who of course only watches the Euroβs and World Cup.Β
Β
me: fβn Ronaldo,Β of course he would be the all time leading scorer in the Euroβs.
work guy: duh, heβs the best. I bet Messi isnβt even close to his number of goals in this competition.Β me, he googles and says βI donβt even see Messi in the top 10β and now he is all giddy and talking ####.
me: so Messi sucks because he doesnβt score in the Euroβs?
wg: well duh, you have to show up for the big games.
me: unable to drink at work I decide to not string this on too far and just blurt out itβs because Messi is from Argentina you dumb ####.
wg: so?
me:Β this is the euros, not the euros plus Argentina.Β
wg: oh,Β
me: fml for the next month
I'd still take Italy and Belgium - but I have not looked at the knockout bracket to see how it will play out.It's very possible that 3 of the semi-finalists could be in this group.Β If they all advance.
The German stopping the shot reminded me of the Scott Sterling clip.That was like a wrestling finisher, there.Β
No offense to GB Kafka but Italy has been talked up a little much for my liking.Β I'm reserving some judgement until after they play the Swiss tomorrow.I'd still take Italy and Belgium - but I have not looked at the knockout bracket to see how it will play out.
And again.evergreen sentence.Β ΒDear Taylor Twellman.ΒLet the announcer announce the game andΒΒ be quiet please
refs waiting that long to call off.Β Β Not at all sure he was offside. Glorious ball from Pogba. Thierry Henry special finish from Mbabbe. Thatβs the stuff.ΒThat Mbappe (non?) goal was glorious!
I thought the same, but it's with the idea in case he's wrong, letting the play finish.ΒAbsolutely no reason to let him dribble three guys in the box before calling him offside.Β Β
He looked pretty clearly off on the replay. Didn't seem close, tbh.Not at all sure he was offside. Glorious ball from Pogba. Thierry Henry special finish from Mbabbe. Thatβs the stuff.Β
Replay was from a completely useless angle, IMO.ΒHe looked pretty clearly off on the replay. Didn't seem close, tbh.
Oh I get the idea behind it.Β Hate the application when its an obvious offside.I thought the same, but it's with the idea in case he's wrong, letting the play finish.Β
Amazing finish, though.
Agreed on this point. Pretty.Β Thierry Henry special finish from Mbabbe.Β
Yeah, that looks like a penalty to me.Iβm apparently blind.Β
nah, Mbappe is THAT fast, give yourself a breakIβm apparently blind.Β
Only saw that angle once, but he absolutely got the leg before the ball.Yeah, that looks like a penalty to me.Iβm apparently blind.Β
