    Agreed, he shouldnt be playing....at the very least he shouldnt be playing a major role. At the most a super sub like lukaku and play 20min at the end of the game when the opp team is tired

    Ironically as a super sub he could have been very good and a serious weapon as when games are stretched in extra time he can still poach a goal and finish a penalty. If he could see himself this way he might have even won a second trophy between 24/26. Still not ideal to use such an old player that has been out of the top leagues for so long but you could see the rational as he can still finish when alone one vs one as we saw vs Uzbeks.

    Belgium just tied against Spain 1-1. Belgium used a special play called "a cross" for a nice header goal.

    France vs Spain semi-final. The repeat of the last final is getting closer and closer to happening again.

    Could very well be but I think England eliminates Argentina.

    Merino is having a good tournament man.. If only we had a guy.. Oh wait.. He's on the bench.

    I had Spain/France v England in my early predictions.. Argentina and their ref ball will only get so far.

    IMO England are just due.

    2022 England lost the QF to France in a match they were the better team for about an hour. Kane missed his PK then Giroud scores late.

    2 EC's sandwiched in between that and they were beaten Finalists. But in these 2 matches, unlike the 2022 QF they were second best.

    They are right there. One of these days they have to get it right.

    I agree. England have been in so many finals recently and have the fire power, depth and everything but just can’t get it done..

    Yeah. I have a good memory on these things. I even remember their 2018 elimination to Croatia. Scored very early and spent the rest of the match trying to defend it instead of playing normal. Croatia equalize and England could never ramp it up again. This Loss was deserved as Croatia were superior. Still remember watching it at work and all of us took a 2 Hour lunch.

    A bit of an over reliance on Kane, IMO, but it works. Before the last match I wrote that he needs someone to help him out and sure enough Bellingham with 2G 1A.

    Except they don't. Getting close a bunch of times doesn't mean they're inevitably going to win eventually. What you're describing is basically gambler's fallacy.

    After 70 mins Clearly Halaand is holding Norway back.

    Even though I'm sarcastic the Ronaldo haters should rep this to death since he's playing the exact same way. Only difference is in other games his team passed to him

    Add Norway to one of the big peen teams. They are attacking and putting England on their heals. They are not playing counter like cucks. Very exciting team to watch.

    Mam it feels like Norway is going to score again... They are finding the lanes in this English defense.
