Wow...who would've thought.

We go to extra time.

Offside?

Yup. Let off for Italy.

Lovely tempo to the game. Austria have been Italy's sternest test so far, but they haven't got the Italians too worried. Both teams possess frightening ball transition on the counter.

Jorginho has been impressive. Keeps the tempo going, and has played some nice passes.

I noticed that the Austrians seem good in defending 1v1 dribbles.

popizaino:
Did he play well there ?

I no watch the match

He played almost everywhere really

And yeah, he had another fantastic outing

Fantastic game so far

Another excellent performance from Chris

But why am I just noticing the nickname "Danish Maldini"?

Another Denmark game, another 90+ mins well spent.

Really looking forward to them meeting Holland.

BlueMann:
Offside...poor Braithwaite

Luck finally shines on him, goal stands

Offside...poor Braithwaite

Lolz...sub come carry red card

Damn...that goal dey give orgasm


The pass that took EVERYBODY out, the touch that sent the defender back to Wales, and the finish into the top corner

Braithwaite, so unlucky...deserves a goal, but just can't buy one at the moment.

Braithwaite, how??

afrodoc2:
He started Chris at RCB and then i think when things got a bit tight and Bale was finding pockets of space in front of their box he pushed him into midfield to support Hojberg and Delaney while he pulled the WBs back to be orthodox FBs.

After going 2-0 up he pulled Chris back to RCB and and reverted to using WBs.

Be like say Chris don dey play for the middle of the defence sef, now that Kjaer is off. At least that's where I'm seeing him.

Who be this Cornelius?

afrodoc2:
This Denmark manager dey confuse everybody with his tweaking.

Christensen has dropped back to RCB.

Aswear d man dey tweak anyhow

I wasn't sure Chris was playing in midfield considering that Hojbjerg and Delaney were starting, but that was where he was at the time.

Now I don dey see am for that RCB position.

My God, see as Denmark dey touch ball

I dey like Denmark ball...they seem to always be able to find pockets of spaces in the middle/attacking third. Thee midfield has been good, Chris is doin OK, Hojbjerg is doing his thing.

Their Left wing has been most effective, especially with that Daamsgard. Good baller.

Havertz10:
I don't rate ndidi

He is one of the top DMs in the world. Whether you rate him or not doesn't matter.

Havertz10:
stats will only mislead the gullible not me

Mount matter has taught me to look beyond the numbers of effort but percentage of success to see the truth

Abeg stop mentioning ndidi

Why?

Is he an over hyped British player too?

Chris plays in midfield for Denmark

Denmark

Lovely football, nice goal from Dolberg.

So Grealish is not creative...

Wow. The men have been separated from the boys...via filtration.

Now its time for separation via chromatography

Asides from the two big names, one fixture that I will be keeping a key eye on is Denmark/Wales. Has the potential to be a cracker. Money's on the Danes to progress of course. Hope Italy, France and the Netherlands make it through as expected so the next round will be even sweeter.


But I don't want Spain to go far. I no just like this current dispensation of Spanish players

Leyqute:
How far with the hype chief?

I no watch d game

Benzema finally scores

France have been flat sha. Silva is eating Hernandez raw.

The call against Semedo was harsh.

chic2pimp:
Absolutely. The Kalvin+Rice midfield is too sluggish for my liking plus they pretty much do the same job. A Xavi/Pirlo like player next to either of them would have been perfect.

Southgate should just go with one of Phillips and Rice...I personally prefer Phillips sha.

But considering that things are about to get tougher, I don't think that double pivot is going away. Maybe he will switch things up by putting Henderson in the mix like he did today.

As for the attack, Grealish and Sancho have to play more. I would've preferred a 4-3-3 with Phillips at DM. Southgate seems to like Sterling so perhaps he will keep his LW role, then let Grealish and Mount/Foden start as the two no.8s. If he plays a 4-2-3-1 and still insists on Sterling playing LW, then let Grealish start at CAM.

BTW, how u see Sterling? He's come up with the big goals, but I feel his overall play hasn't been it.

donstan18:
Maguire has more Cleansheet than Portugal and Germany put together.

Na Italy get the best defence to me sha

donstan18:
Go and score them.

Abegi...no be Maguire?

Thecassanova:
Just saw the Scotland goal. Where was Kovacic, ball-watching as usual instead of tracking runners.

Ahn ahn

donstan18:
How can one go through England squad and think they don’t stand a good chance of winning this tournament.

Best defense in the tournament.

God forbid

Havertz10:
Under 15 mins

Playing better, who is missing i wonder

Foden...?
