2024 Summer of Soccer - Euro's, Copa America, Olympics, WCQing (2 Viewers)

[NewlyRetired]

You have to go all the way back to 1986 to find a knock out round game in a major tournament (Euro/WC) where England did not register a shot on net in the first half.

 

[McBokonon]

Gonna make some changes, Gareth?

that looks like a clear offside

 

[TennesseeJed]

He looked off though...

 

[Dr_Zaius]

so what does GGG do tomorrow?

Start Haji on the left and Pulisic on the right?

Go with MMA midfield and move Gio up to the right?

MMA and Haji with Gio on bench?

It’s not what I’m hoping for, but my guess is we get the same lineup as last game but Aaronson for Weah.

 

[Desert_Power]

VAR got that right.

England need to keep getting Harry Kane on the ball.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

One of my friends who lives in England just canceled his FB account

 

[Capella]

England is so funny to me. God bless those fans.

 

[Desert_Power]

Still no changes?

 

[NewlyRetired]

Still no changes?

it is a bit shocking given the amount of chances England are creating.

 

[Desert_Power]

That looked like it should have been a second yellow...

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

that looks like a clear offside

Just inexcusable from Foden. He”d the EPL player of the year and I’d be pissed if a U12 attacker had that little awareness.

 

[TennesseeJed]

Frustrating part for England, Slovakia don't really look all that organized on defense and are not even trying to attack this half.

 

[Desert_Power]

Ouch

 

[NewlyRetired]

75th minute and still not a shot on goal for England. Jesus

 

[NewlyRetired]

Kane has to bury that

 

[NewlyRetired]

wow sooo close for England

 

[Desert_Power]

Can't make that up

 

[CletiusMaximus]

75th minute and still not a shot on goal for England. Jesus

It looks like the Slovak goal is the only shot on goal in this game through 75 minutes.

I planned to do some work this morning as this looked likely to be the most boring game of the weekend "on paper" and it has not disappointed in that regard. Looking forward to Spain v Georgia though.

 

[Mjolnirs]

Slovakia need to get the ball and go to the corner.

 

[NewlyRetired]

For no shots on net, the Slovakian keeper has been so busy on crosses

 

[Desert_Power]

Ah, the famous Rooney vs Ronaldo game was in this stadium. Didn't realize that.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Slovakia need to get the ball and go to the corner.

yes. They have had multiple chances and keep giving it away for no reason. Go deep

 

[Scoresman]

Bring it home, Slovakia!

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Whoa

 

[massraider]

Oh man. That was amazing

 

[Long Ball Larry]

That was tremendous but this dumb team does not deserve to win

 

[encaitar]

Incredible goal. Wow.

 

[3C's]

Whoa!

 

[TennesseeJed]

Great goal by Bellingham - but Slovakia have not tried to do anything all half - they lost this, more than England have come back (and will probably go on and win),

I don't see how any way Slovakia survive extra time. But Slovakia had multiple chances to kill off time and they refused to do it.

Fantastic goal in any case.

England is going to have to play significantly better against Switzerland. This Slovakia team is all grit but very very little talent.

 

[Mjolnirs]

Unreal. These smaller nations need to learn how to kill a game off.
I agree, Slovakia did nothing in the second half. Only if that long midfield shot had gone in. sigh.

At this point, I don't see England losing this game, but who knows.

 

[TennesseeJed]

And there you have it.

 

[NewlyRetired]

done and dusted. Would not be shocked to see a multiple goal win here

 

[Desert_Power]

Kane and Jude are just such a menace on set pieces

 

[Capella]

Impressive comeback

 

[Mjolnirs]

The next 28 minutes are going to be ugly.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

England are such a candidate for the 2016 Portugal “look like **** and somehow wi. The tournament” award.

 

[titusbramble]

Never in doubt

 

[NewlyRetired]

England are such a candidate for the 2016 Portugal “look like **** and somehow wi. The tournament” award.

I mean with the draw they have, they still have to be favored to make the finals. They can't possibly keep playing this bad.

 

[encaitar]

Football is go great. One minute of game time away from the joy and tears being swapped....

 

[⚡DEADHEAD⚡]

My god listening to Lalas is such a heavy tax to watch soccer.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

I love that his co-hosts have given up pretending to tolerate Lalas, and joined the rest of us with undisguised dislike.

 

[Zow]

Impressive try by Slovakia, impressive comeback by England. Oddly not an impressive game though if that makes sense.

Probably true but I think some of us are maybe overstating the good v bad side of the bracket thing just due to expectations and history. On form, Switzerland and Austria have been impressive. I could see an "Alpine semifinal" fully deserved. Germany is playing up to expectations and Spain have been fantastic but France, Belgium, Portugal haven't shown much yet.

 

[Mjolnirs]

Hoping against hope that Georgia pulls this off. I don't see Germany getting past Spain.

 

[TennesseeJed]

Spain v. Germany in a QF feels like a travesty...


Having to watch England play another match also feels like a travesty.

 

[Zow]

I love that his co-hosts have given up pretending to tolerate Lalas, and joined the rest of us with undisguised dislike.

I think I’ve told this story on here before, but Lalas will always be likable to me ever since I was at a soccer camp when I was like 9 or 10 or something and he, without any fanfare or obligation thereto, spent like an hour teaching me how to properly take a header. He was truly very kind.
