Spain v England - Sun 14th July, 20:00 | Euro 2024 Final
- Thread starter MCFC1993
- Start date
Watching England is entertaining if you like comedy.Why is it sad..as I said I'm not really interested in international football but when I do watch I want to be entertained..weird concept I know..sort of like if I watch TV or go to the pictures I want entertainment not tedium.
Football for many is an escape from everyday life and believe it or not it is classed as entertainment...it's bad enough watching teams that come to the Etihad and have no intention of trying to play football but I can understand why as not all teams are equal..but can you truthfully say you think watching England is entertaining..
On the BBC Website Culture page there is a montage of celebs supporting England.
I don’t know who half of them are. Many look old and shambolic. Sir Jim Rat looks about 90 and is completely unkempt.
Kate Beckinsale in her England shirt saves the day…..wow!

This all the way.I have been watching City since 1961 and we played some dire football at times so don't give me that bollocks
With the players at his disposal Southgate should have them playing attractive attacking football not the fucking bilge they turn out
Just because you are born in a country doesn't mean you have to follow that national team..I'm happy to watch any team from any country that plays great football..I don't support any international team but I am happy to see the best teams win the competitions and England don't tend to fit the criteria of attacking attractive football

We know the script, we need to stop Rodri.
If he gets to run the midfield we are fucked.

Same here. I have had Spain to win since the whole interminably boring tournament began. I really don't want the totally undeserving Bellingham winning the Balon D'or - which he will should England be victorious. Rodri is current imo one of the best players on the planet and would be a worthy recipient, should Spain win and the voters can move on from their combined Messi luv in.The dawn of, hopefully, a great day for England fans. Me? Meh. If they lose, I won't be anywhere near as disappointed as I was with our defeat in the cup final. That really did sting.
I just want the City lads home and uninjured. This lengthy participation is certainly going to impact detrimentally next seasons performances for at least 4 of them - and Rodri was goosed before the start of last season.....
Amazing too how Jonny Boy has played about 6 consecutive games....
I know lots on here don't like the xg stat, but I am going to leave this here.
In the 2 games against Germany and France, Spain "statistically" should have been beaten, outdone twice on xg.
End of the day, this Spanish side for as good as they have been, they give you chances. They have a midfield that is held together by arguably the best holding midfield player of the last 20 years in Rodri and a defence that consists of a player who applies his trade in the Saudi league, an ageing fullback in Carvahal and a defensive disaster-class in Cucurella.
There is no way Spain will have it easy tonight, regardless of how good they have been.
We can win ugly, I don't think they can.

I've just looked at it. "celebrities"? There's loads of them who I had no idea who they were. Little Simz, Chemmy Alcott, DJ Spoony, David Olusoga, David Harewood, Mabel, OJ Borg; who are these people. And, of course, that Romesh bloke had to be there. Ditto Rylan.On the BBC Website Culture page there is a montage of celebs supporting England.

xg is bollocks. There's only one stat that matters; top left corner of the screen at the final whistle.I know lots on here don't like the xg stat, but I am going to leave this here.

Chemmy Alcott was Britains best ever female skier. A good looker too.I've just looked at it. "celebrities"? There's loads of them who I had no idea who they were.

That may well be the case. And yes; she's not too difficult to look. But honestly (no wumming), I'd never heard of her.Chemmy Alcott was Britains best ever female skier. A good looker too.

I'll hopefully never watch a game, where I don't want to watch the great man run the midfield, tonight is no different.
I want him to win the Euros, and then get the accolades he truly deserves.
As if England have the players to stop him.

You could go through the English defence and say the same:
Keeper that has fought relegation the last few years
A right back who will lose concentration at least once
A great centre back
A centre back who is very inexperienced at top level, and who plays for Palace
A left back who is a shit right back
Carvahal is still a winner, and knows all the dark arts. Nacho and Laporte are both very good centre backs, Cucurella is shit but hasn't had a bad tournament.
