Not a big international or England guy anyway, but after the fans behaviour last 24 hours, fuck England. Look an even bigger set of cunts tonight.

I think Southgate has already shown he does play favourites. He's shown far too much faith in the likes of Kane, Alli, Lingard.
Just gotta hope Gomez and Maguire stay fit and play well until next Summer.
No. The teams at this tournament all have this chance now. Qualifying for this final tournament was enough.
This is just for the €10 million price money and a trophy.

We should've just started Henderson, Trent and Rose instead of trying to wing it with this inferior mob, and Callum Wilson should've got his chance when Rashford picked up the knock. I am so finished with seeing Harry Kane plod around doing fuck all in an England shirt.
Even ignoring the howlers, Netherlands were just better and if they actually had a striker, we'd have lost comfortably in 90 minutes.
The only positive here is at least expectations won't be quite so astronomical in 2020. We absolutely must start bringing through U21 players to replace the frauds like Barkley, Lingard and Delph. James Maddison not even making the squad doesn't bode well in that aspect though.

Any chance Tunisia, Panama and Colombia can be invited to the next Nations tournament? Like how Australia get invited to Eurovision.
I will laugh if we win this but then fail to qualify for the European championship.
Seen some highlights, yeah this is what we look like against a half-decent side. Weirdly, despite not scoring Sterling looked like the only player who gave a fuck. And that second goal just spells out how absolutely laughable our defence is at times.
It says a lot that I'm way beyond even being disappointed.

Sancho too, that substitution made zero sense considering how ineffective the midfield was.
Well, all goals scored by the Dutch in 2019 were either made by him or assisted by him, save for tonight's own goal though he was involved in that as well.
I'll not understand Sancho off for lingard, thought Sancho looked like one of our best when he was on the ball, can tell he's trying to prove himself.
Clearly don't watch him enough. He's had this on his back for like 5 years. He's been great for pool for 2 years easily. High work rate. Passionate. Like IDK what he has to do to show people he's a great player. He could captain England to WC and people would say he's shit.
That's because the rest are somehow even worse. Babel and Bergwijn are awful. Nobody in midfield can score either save Gini at times. They literally had VVD up front against Germany. Tonight they had to rely on de Ligt to score in a set piece to force extra time. If you have to rely on Depay against Portugal, good luck.
Memphis will always be dangerous though, even when playing shit. Especially with set-pieces. If you can score againt France and Germany, you can score against Portugal as well.
Not sure if you're Dutch, otherwise this is a good read.

8 goals and 7 assists since Koeman took over is excellent. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Memphis replaces Van Persie as all-time top scorer when all is said and done. We'll see.
Not a fan of Babel though, nor Promes. And I'd play with Van de Beek on midfield.
While Southgate refuses to look past Kane we simply won't win anything, like in the semis of the World Cup he was awful, yet never gets taken off
Plus he just watched him have an awful game in the CL....no excuses really

I admit that I haven't seen that much LFC the last 1,5 years since I'm really busy. It seems he has improved a lot, because everyone here says he's great now.
So excited to be in the final of this UEFA competition that doesn't even have its own thread, yaay!
Yesterday was one of the clumsiest matches ever though.

Its a bummer Ziyech isnt playing for the Netherlands. He would be a good fit imo
Goals and assists don't show everything. You can clearly see he's struggling with the ball a number of times. The season has been long but perhaps he lacks proper technique as well. If he really was that good, Olympique Lyon wouldn't sideline him on a number of occasions this past season. He's fortunate the team lacks a proper striker. I agree the team needs a box-to-box player like van de Beek. Gini is one as well but van de Beek seems better at finding space near the box.
It's gonna feel weird at first seeing us with dark blue shorts but I like it
Spurs' new kit is way better than last year's.
memphis didnt have his best game but is always a threat. He has been brilliant for holland since koeman has been in and been in great form against big teams. He has done it against france and germany so why not portugal. He has always had issues in not having a great first touch but makes up for it in power in pace. Promes is fine, bergwijn is still young and babel needs to be dumped asap. Hope Malen, kaj sierhuis and justin can step up soon
In respect of england they need a midfield bad. Hendo n man like loftus cheek arent the answer

Tbf, ever since Klopp took over, Henderson and Milner very much became his workhorses, and filled in any vacant or weakened position he'd ask of them. Remember, Milner was a LB for most of a previous season, during which time he received a lot more shit both from neutrals and even some fans.
By comparison, Klopp has almost exclusively used Henderson as a makeshift DM, tasking him with a lot of responsibility in winning the ball back, rather than creating chances further up the pitch which is what he has stated he feels is more naturally his game. After Fabinho finally settled into the DM role, there was no comparison between the two, Henderson did his best to maintain that position, but he clearly was downed tools as far as defence goes - so much so that it was around this time the VVD for captain shit started to really reek online, people were seeing Henderson as nothing but spare parts. He then takes this time when he's in/out the squad to convince Klopp to allow him his role as an 8 back for the last couple of months of the season, the same months where everyone watching him will agree are his best performances this season.
There are absolutely better attacking midfielders out there for us to buy, and sadly you're never gonna stop the level of malcontent Henderson garners from both rival and Liverpool fans, but given a lot of that reputation was cemented on performances he had to put in on the opposite end of the pitch than he should be playing, I'd wait another season before seeing him as anything close to the worst player in the side.
Watching Southgate's England is less entertaining than watching paint dry.
Not sure why anyone would want to put themselves through that.

True but the atmosphere in England last summer (as someone who hates the team with a passion) was amazing. Makes the games much more enjoyable and you less in to it
Closest they're gonna get to seeing a Spurs strip worn by European Champions.
