England v Switzerland - Sat 6th July, 17:00 | Euro 2024 Quarter-Final

[Gray]

If England play as they have been doing then that will be three more City players coming home.

Leaving Rodri, Akanji and Ake still in the tournament.

Spain need to win the whole thing so Rodri can get the accolades he deserves.

I'm not sure I can be arsed watching this frauds team tonight.
The fact that we could be in a semi final after 4-5 absolutely awful games says it all

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

So is the back 5 going to be Arnold, Walker, Stones, Konsa and Trippier? They're all right footed aren't they?

So no issues there then :)

(Possibly Saka at Left back? Who knows, who, at this stage, really cares? :)

 

[dublinblue12]

England and France potentially limping into a final.

Think I'll go for a nice meal about 5 o clock before the clash of my two favourite holiday destinations at 8pm

Spain will dick them in the other semi. No creativity whatsoever with no Pogba and Mbappe looks to be hampered by his broken nose.

I'm on a plane when the match is being played. On one hand that's gonna help me to not see the car crash... and on the other had that's gonna help me not hear the car crash.

I'm also fly Saturday should be back for the 2nd half, alas! I'll pretend on the plane wastecoat has abandoned caution, put Phil in as 10, young Palace lad as DM and sedated Pickford.

I can dream.

Bit like the French then who frankly are even bigger frauds, not scored a goal themselves yet from open play.

With international football sometimes you can win a trophy with a good set of players and a lot of luck. It happened in 66 - the manager sometimes stumbles across the right team and 3 wins later has won a trophy. Mancini won the euros a few years ago. Greece did it too

I actually haven’t given up on Southgate fluking one. I don’t rate him at all and hate seeing him flailing around making guesswork subs. But this lucky draw is giving him chance after chance to drop on the right team and if he does, maybe today, they can do the rest.

Absolutely this.

We've had kind draws in the last 3 competitions,and this one has been the best yet.
2 performances ,where even if we don't quite play to our full potential could quite easily see us to another final.

I agree with your statement. But, France haven't exactly pulled up any trees and they are in the semi finals.

Just saying.

 

[TinFoilHat]

It's coming home then?

apparently saka at left wing back

 

[jacko74]

I'm fully expecting another rag like performance, a crap match with England looking the crappest side yet scraping an undeserved win.

 

[TonyM]

I'll be shouting for Switzerland today cos they gave us Lindt chocolate whereas England gave us that **** Cromwell. Sorry Cadburys. You know I still love you too!

 

[mexico1970]

This is the day we get knocked out on penalties without even an attempt at forcing the issue onto the plucky Swiss, the waistcoat is so haunted by penalties he desperately wants to win on penalties so he can exorcise his own ghosts.

We did beat Colombia on pens

 

[Haaland94]

If both Switzerland and England play at the level previously showcased in this tournament, it's going to be an easy win for the Swiss.

We did mate, to dispel his ghosts it will have to be a final. France are mastering the dark art of not scoring but going through with bore draws.

 

[Hoghead]

Palmer & Manuooo in plus usual suspects, Foden out.
I'll be at the airport and so will the team tomorrow.
