UEFA Euro 2024

“Soccer” for men:

Lord Stanley would be appalled by the UK’s fascination with all this crybaby kickball. UK did look the best it has in a century on the international level this year though.

McCaihsht was at least a good player though.  True though, he’s likely had a wee nip of the buckfast most of the time he’s on air.

England with the first of their 1-0 wins. Draw against the Danes and another 1-0 against Slovenia. 

you're on target and England are business as usual. England were lucky, Danes were much better.

I cashed out my bets, up 45p 

I can foresee how this ends for England, they win or draw next game playing daycent, whip somebody in the last 16 (start singing footballs coming home) and then lose on penalties in the 1/4s or semi to a good team, happens every 2 or 4 years

State of that Carvajal dive, might have to just stop watching this, im watching and playing football my whole life, think its time to give it up 

Very funny southgate interview there, be surprised if he's not mullered for that

That was one of the most exciting hockey games I've seen in a long time.

lol Foegele got a 5 minute major and a game suspension for a hit in game 2 that would barely be a foul in soccer.  Really hoping my boys can pull off the comeback and add another Cup to the best city in Alberta.

England will clear their group stage with two 1-0 wins and a 0-0 draw, will be hailed as champions by the english media, and then get knocked out in the QFs after winning on penalties in the RO16 match.

I’m high as fuck off of playoff hockey after that game. What was at stake, McJesus moving through a group of defenders like a vapor cloud, Tkachuk’s heroics to keep the cats in the game, momentum shifts, etc.

I’m rooting for the Panthers since they’ve never won a cup and came back from the brink of collapse to vanquishing the (fuck) Boston Bruins 2 years in a row en route to another appearance in the finals. At this point though I gotta admit that the Oilers somehow pulling off the reverse sweep (hasn’t been done since the Leafs in the 40’s apparently) would be an even cooler story and cement McDavid as a hockey god. Panthers got this though. Just need Bob to calm down and get back in the zone.

Some self-deprecating joy in listening to Shearer doing a bit of the old “holding on in quiet desperation” as the match progressed 

France on 4 points having scored 0 goals so far 

Looking forward to the Scotland match. And being English (though with Irish and Dutch ancestry and sporting an Irish surname) I hope they win! Even if I know they will cheer when we lose

Jesus christ Southgate is terrible.

Imagine having that generational talent in your squad only to see them running around like they're playing the game for the first time.

Watched the Holland vs Austria match yesterday. Good choice. What a cracking game that was! Austria looked sharp as a razor, very impressive.

England got the job done. Though they aren't playing like super heroes I'm a bit mystified at the torrent of negativity they are receiving from almost everyone. They aren't coming home are they? Getting tired of Slag Off England Shearer, who needs to fuck off imo. He's never got my goat before. 
 

Watching Belgium vs Ukraine now.

Mate, they won one match, drew two, scoring two goals, while playing the Bundesliga top goal scorer and UEFA Golden Shoe winner, the 2023 Golden Boy winner and 23-24 La Liga player of the year, the premier league player of the year, and multiple champions league winners, and this is how Southgate has them playing??

I can't disagree with that!
 

To be fair I'm far from a football expert and should let the others do the talking

Some good games today.

Hopefully watch both. Georgia vs Spain for a neutral should be a great watch and time for England to fire themselves up a bit.

Please win Slovakia

Would make me laugh. Football is not super important to me but I'd also be lying if I didn't want them to win the damn thing. Easy come, easy go  

I feel so bad for Denmark yesterday.
