What a block by Akanji!

 

Hungarian player leaving on stretcher with sheets around him.

Doesn’t look good.

players in tears.

Damn!

 

Germany finishing second is great for football. I don't want them to play Spain in the Quarter Finals. They both need to go as far as possible without facing each other.

 

The German backline getting demolished. The Swiss are solid.

 

Thoughts and prayers are with Hungary striker Barnabas Varga who has suffered a serious collision. He is currently being taken to the hospital with a neck brace. pic.twitter.com/nvSCfAKfo2

Watching the collision live, I immediately thought he was dead. His limbs reaction was horrible to see.

 

Fullkrug so reliable

 

Welp, back to first place.

 

The Swiss just switched off on that cross. Not sure any of them were marking the three Germans in the box.

Fullkrug is more useful than Havertz.

 

Havertz is absolutely terrible. Sane is just as bad.

 

Surely Nagelsmann plays Fullkrug from now on instead of that fake forward, Havertz? Not because Fullkrug is an amazing player or because he scored today, but he's at least fairly reliable and actually a striker. Havertz is just not good enough, goodness..

 

Arsenal won't win anything if Havertz and Gab Jesus are their No.9 options. Could have saved that Havertz money, then add 40 ME and gone for Osimhen this summer.

 

These false 9s have rarely ever worked. Why do these coaches still persist? Even a mediocre player like Fullkrug is more valuable being alone up top.

 

Well we did win a ucl this year with one...

Spain, rightfully, going with their B-team.

 

Italy and Croatia for second place

Neither has looked good but I’m guessing Italy takes this

 

Please, Croatia.

 

Aside from that bad throw in I quite like Di Marco. Good going both ways.

 

Croatia controlling so far.

 

Unfortunately their entire frontline sucks.

In the past you had Mandzukic and Perisic but they're all mediocre now.

I'm torn here as I share ethnicity from both countries but I think Italy looks like a decent side and should take this.

 

Wow Croatia are bloody mess

 

Brozovic hasn't been all that during this tournament. Probably lost sharpness due to playing in the Middle East.

 

Both teams are way too cautious. Italy looks a bit sharper going forward. I still believe we're going to see goals, both defences are ripe for the picking.
