Euro 2020/2021

[Napoleon 8689]

England's skill has increased dramatically in recent years. (In my opinion.)

Here's a game of distance passing where the ball never hits the ground. (Video does NOT start at the beginning.)

 

[Napoleon 8689]

ONE MORE TIME:  This kid has a 19 minute video of PREGAME & GAME FOOTAGE of Italy vs Spain.

I went back and watched everything starting AFTER his preamble from home. It is a great "MATCH DAY ACTIVITY" video and holy shit the fan reactions in the stadium and the predictions of those around him are pretty fucking awesome.

He's filming from the upper deck on the end zone where Italy  the penalties are taken.

 

0:58 -he's walking to the pub to meet up with friends & his dad, predictions from friends

3:58 -walking on the streets to Wembley / The Underground / Italian & Spanish crowds outside the stadium + a former English International

5:32 -he's entering the stadium w/ drunk Italian fans (with English accents)

5:51 -pre-game festivities on the field + anthems of the two teams (and his Italian friends singing the anthem)
7:02 -match ball arrives on the field and kickoff
8:21 -End of the 1st Half

8:51 -Italy goal

9:47 -Final Score Prediction from his dad  
10:00 -Final Score Prediction from some other guy sitting behind them
10:24 -Introduction of the 79th minute with a score update another prediction from an Aussie friend
10:50 -Spain goal
12:17 -Extra Time kickoff
12:39 -Spain free kick leads to two save by the Italian Keeper
12:59 -End of 1st Half of Extra Time
13:25 -Offside Italian Goal
13:58 -End of 2nd Half of Extra Time and more predictions
14:22 -Start of the Shootout
15:22 -Italian fan mooning the Spanish player from the upper deck at Wembley
 

It's pretty damned good.

Excited to see a good game. 2-1. Danes play hard but England pulls through. 

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

I guess I am the only one pulling for the Danes?

I liked Schmeichel’s response to the “coming home question”. Morganfreeman.gif

[alincoln 2381]

Was England so much better going forward against Ukraine because they were playing Ukraine or because Sancho's movement was so much more unpredictable than Saka's and opened up the defense?

I would love to see Denmark win, but just think England is going to hold off and then lose to Italy. And yeah, that was pretty damn classic. 

[kingkoopa6 8369]

[kingkoopa6 8369]

Denmark will win and then beat Italy. 

[midtown 3346]

Whoa.  Who has a screen shot of that blonde?

England brod. Sexy. But right before. They panned to a busty danish. She was stacked!

Denmark was my darkhorse pick at the start of the tourney.  didn't think they had a chance after Eriksen's tragic passing, but here they are.

still, i'm all caught up in "it's coming home."  i want England to win.

[WBT 20615]

No Ed Sheeran in Beckham's box?  Engerland is doomed.

[Jive Turkey 12617]

this might be the most lit crowd since the pandemic started.  if England wins, it's gonna be absolute madness.

It's hard to find a Busty Danish in Texas.  They're usually cream filled.  d

Atmosphere is awesome. Should be a good one

England look threatening early.  Come on, lads!

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Sterling looks up for it again. Is Pep holding him back?

imho it was the blowforward (the opposite of blowback) from finally beating zee deutsche in a full international knockout

[TexArcher 37978]

Danes' kits are great.

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

That was close. 

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Danes' kits are great.

Hummel usually has nice gear. Even back in the 90s when I was playing.

[Braff Zacklin 13618]

Ian Darke: "... that highly regarded youngster ... "

And I immediately start chuckling. This is what Surly does to a man.

Ditto (but the 80's)

[Jive Turkey 12617]

Saka looks like ass.  dribbling way too much and losing possession.

He keeps it very simple which Southgate likes.  Either passes back or tries to dribble down the wing to either win a foul or put in a cross. 

[kingkoopa6 8369]

OOOOH SHYT!

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Fucking awesome!

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Oh my!

[Captain Ron 12883]

That was a hell of a free kick

[mdmost 43004]

Red Alert England!

[Jive Turkey 12617]

wow.  clean sheet streak is over.

[Braff Zacklin 13618]

Lovely.

[HenryJames 66121]

That goal fucked.

[alincoln 2381]

hahaha

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

That foul looked really soft, TBF. But what a goal!

[TexArcher 37978]

Well, shit.

That was so pretty you have to appreciate it even if you didn't like it.

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

Well done.  So who is going to pick up this kid?

[Zepol87 9188]

Holy shit. What a strike

[WBT 20615]

What a strike!

First free kick goal of the Euro, right?  Erickson's ghost pushed it just below the bar.

[alincoln 2381]

Pickford should have done better as well

[Jive Turkey 12617]

Damsgaard has done more to improve his stock than any player in the tournament.
