⚽ The Official Euro 2024 Thread | 🇪🇦 reyes de Europa thanks to 2 🇨🇵 players | 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 lose a Euro final for the 2nd time in a row :wow:

[Mané Swagincha]

Ey why was Trent stripped of the #10??

If Jude can make champions out these lot then he absolutely deserves the Balon D'or

Euros and Copa America will decide the winner

That’s Vini’s already

 

[DapMeUp!]

The solution is to play Foden as #10, but nah let the poacher play there and maybe he'll score a goal. He certainly won't create any.

The discourse is exhausting, because England as a whole played horribly in a game where they should have scored at least 2 and created at least 5 big chances. But Saka fans have messed themselves over a couple completed dribbles vs a winger playing fullback and a deflected cross, and Jude fans continue the PR campaign that has been going on for 2 years(but was miraculously silent when Jude didn't do anything for Dortmund in their title race).


England should never be the favorite for any competition, tribalism influences too much on and off the field for them.

So you prefer your players to have zero impact instead

How do you fix your mouth to speak like this when Phil was the worst England player on the pitch

Jude was man of the match, it seems like some people don't like his style, but all the experts and coaches love him so obviously he's doing something right.

The man distributes perfectly, plays defense like a defensive midfielder, scores, assists, moves without ball, covers box-to-box, can shoot, dribble, head and everything else, and obviously he runs tirelessly. He's a Modric type of player, just happens to score more nowadays.

And shytting on a 19/20 year old for not showing up in 1 game a year ago -- when he just carried a team to CL and La Liga victories, is wild.

 

[Harry B]

Then he shouldn't play.

He should play on the right and bench Saka, as he is a better player or put Saka on the left.

It's like if Madrid would put Vini jr to the right and Rodrygo to the left cause Vini is a bit more dynamic.

Or you can have a crazy coach like Ancelotti who once put both player to the left and nobody to the right

Like the last Euros? Where he got benched for Saka by the Knock Out stages?

This isn't the City team.
Saka has been a consistent performer for England.
Foden has done nothing for England.

Foden has never performed anywhere close to the level of Saka at international level so idk how you can say he’s a better player…he plays well for city that’s it…the best players can do it in any situation

Saka has performed in any system and in any position he’s ever been played at for both club and country that’s why his name will always be one of the first on the team sheet.. he’s that well rounded and has high football iq

if Foden is so good why can’t he stay wide in this system and beat his man and create chances? Also yea he was on the left but he basically had a free role compared to Saka…if Foden plays RW can he have the same discipline to stay wide and not drift off into kane and Bellinghams areas

England should play Saka left tho coz he’s both their best RW and LW and can actually make runs In behind and threaten defenders but also hold up play and link on the inside w others

 

[Harry B]

Foden has done nothing for England.

Pretty sure Sterling and Mount started the final ahead of both Saka and Foden.

But that was 3 years ago, Foden has grown over the past 2 years and is now unbenchable in any team. Back then he wasn't even a clear starter in City, barely was last season. But has exploded this season.

Don't know why you keep on talking about old things like these aren't young and developing players.

"Oh 4 years ago, he didn't start" Might as well start Sterling and Rashford then, and bring Henderson while you are at it


I understand that it's impossible to bench Saka cause he's been one of the best performers over time, so that right is rightfully his. But Foden is the best player on the team minus perhaps Bellingham and Kane.

 

[Premeditated]

The man has only won one tournament 6 years ago with the national team with the most talent pool

 

[Premeditated]

I want that 90 minutes of my life back.

Y'all will Foden this, Kane that, Trent this..and cool. But you got a #10 that created zero chances and played no one through his entire time on the pitch. But because he poached a goal and has a PR machine it's cool. He's not it but y'all will catch up in about five years.

Foden having to run back between the center backs to help Pickford in possession. How cowardly are Trent, Rice and Jude?

Wharton super glued to the bench while "big" club bias and PR footballers play..

This is why I'm glad Madison wasn't called up

this is disturbing. Ol boy is crashing out

Please tell me how he distributed the ball to Kane, foden or saka? He had one pass to Saka but besides that, the lack of chance creation was down to him


He was on the wing trying to move like Vini while Foden on the end of the box, hands up. By the time yall realize who Jude is it will be too late and England will once again be trophyless, like Saka at the end of the last two seasons.

Saka was a starter up to the final. cause Waistcoat is a coward and played 5 at the back.

Is tonight old when Phil stunk out the joint?
Play players on form not ability.

Tbh even Foden being trash for England I blame Waistcoat for because he should be able to get him to perform, but he is the coach as of now so

 

[Nero Christ]

its weird how english media lets waistcoat get away with driving a lexus like a prius. Ofc you will never crash and make it near your destination. But you will never win sht either if you aint adventurous with your tactics.

and they want to manage united. They must hate united

Breh still think Lexus is luxury...my man stuck in the 90s

 

[Schadenfreude]

and

 

[Lurkio]

btw Jude is the star of this team but if he’s gonna play the way he did going everywhere looking to get on the ball then he should play next to Rice and give Palmer or Foden 10…he’s quality but I didn’t like how much he was coming back just to get touches

Maybe England should try this
