Euro 2020 (err 2021 now)

zero shots on goal Germany. This is them since World Cup 2018. Looks like the Korea game, Mexico game, North Macedonia game and many others. Totally clueless up front. Got much worse at the end. Sane awful, Volland awful, Werner awful.

This is proof again why Low should have been shitcanned long ago. 2 years? It is has been 4 years of shit and more shit.

As they said during the game: Euro Antiques Road Show has higher ratings than Germany football. That is how far even Germany fans in Germany see it too. They don't care because the DFB just let's Low continue to destroy this team.

Please Germany do not make the knockout stage. I want Low to go out as the big fucking loser he is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It could be worse, you could be rooting for Poland :facepalm:
 
I really wish John Henry would throw half the LFC stake on Mbappe
Oh, me too. I don’t regularly follow Premier League as much as I would like I’ve always preferred Liverpool over the rest.

And Mbappe is real deal. That dance in the box and popped goal that was disallowed today was just gorgeous.

He won’t though. Cheap fuck using Covid to save money. Ill cry again when he lets Verdugo leave in 2 years.

But I agree, Mbappe is hella good. Get him in his prime while you can. If city gets Messi, I fear they’ll get Mbappe in a year.
 
Doing some work things for the next week or so and can’t watch the games. SAD.

Well I am. My great grandmother on my German side was from Poland. Maiden name Grabowski. I root for Germany, Sweden (dad's parents from Malmo), Poland.
 
I decided I will try to watch Italy-Switzerland today, but not sure what I’m getting from either team.

Maybe that’s for the best, I thought the 3pm game yesterday was going to be electrifying, but about the only real approximation excitement was the last 20 mins or so.

Don't sleep on Italy. Good mix of young and old players, and Mancini is a very good manager.

This is my problem with only tuning in every 3-4 years. Italy’s last three Cups were two group stage knockouts and didn’t even qualify in 2018. I have no clue where they are in rebounding.

Switzerland I have no clue either….I’ve just always seen them as a scrappy team that can often pop up and give you a game. Hoping for that today.

The Ventura era was a fiasco that most Italians would rather forget about.
 
I put $20 on France to win it all at +470. Down to +340 now

I always root for Germany against anyone but the US, but I knew better than to put $$$ on that this time around
 
So Italy looks better….or the Swiss look much worse than the middling squad they’ve been for a while.
 
Yeah, if there were more effective subs to make I don’t know. But there couldn’t have been less effective subs. And so late too.

I’ll say this….Euro and World Cup soccer is not the same without a solid Mannschaft. Could it be that the DFB feels too close on things to make a change now? They are in Euros and jump right to qualifying after this.

I wonder if they feel like a coach change means they could miss even making the Cup and maybe there is a chance to at least qualify with Low in place?

Otherwise I can’t figure this out.
Solid Mannschaft? German Mannschaft needs Viagra.

Italy is more of attacking team now in somewhat the Sarri way but without sacrificing their traditional defensive ways. They are good team. Their coach also brought in younger players before, in some cases, they got real chances at their clubs. Locatelli is a prime example of this.

Youngsters do get a better shot in Serie A than most leagues, it seems. They're the old guys now, but it was the same when Insigne and Immobile when they were young. Plus look at Donnarumma. They have a good mix of young and old, and have a lot of options going forward, but with their traditionally strong midfield and defense.
 
England being England today lol.
 
If Hungary manages to hold on, that is bad new for Germany in this group.

France though, with all their talent, have yet to score a goal in this tournament...themselves. Not good so far.
 
Germany on the board
 
Germany on the board
Germany's attack looked great today. Defense still leaves something to be desired though. No complaints for any of the attackers or midfield. Emery Can still sucks though. Pepe needs to retire. 38 years old got eaten up on that left side a few times.

Much more impressive today. I want to say just Hungary ahead they should I stroll on into the next round, but I’m leery of anything this year. A draw could make things dicey (I’m also not fully up on what third place groupings get in here). Germany, Portugal and France have the save goal differential.

Anything but three points on Hungary and it gets interesting, but I think they walk through with this impressive win today.

From there…..
