Denmark’s midfield has been better than England’s by far.

It was a continuation of their last game. They played well for the first 20 minutes or so in their first match and have been in a fetal position ever since. They did get two decent chances during the second half today, but overall, on their heels way too much.
I’m enjoying the stylistic battle here between Spain and Italy. Spain looks beautiful, but Italy is so dangerous on counters. Then again, Spain is shredding catenaccio.
If feels like Spain is on a hockey power play.
After Germany, Spain is the next team I root for from Europe. I like their style of play, it’s fun to watch when they’re on.
I enjoy this team’s style of play. Hated the previous version. Boring as hell but very effective. This group is definitely not boring.
As much as they frustrated me back in the day with ticky tack, it was beautiful to watch
Best in the world, but I'm admittedly biased
Definitely a big time, elite tourney keeper vs. a very good, but not elite keeper in the regular season
No it was not. It was like watching a cat toy with a mouse to tire it out before killing it. Cat 1 Mouse 0.
WC semi loss and Euro final loss over this way. Effective but boring. Hated watching it against anyone. This Spain team is much more fun to watch.
So they were “diversity” jerseys. Honest to God. In my humble opinion, there’s a time place for all of that, absolutely, but not when you’re changing your national team colors in an international competition as such. I didn’t like the USA wearing the pride flag colors on their numbers last week on their jerseys as well. I know some people feel different differently, but I think something should be kept sacred.
I am scared to death that we’re gonna look way too much like England (in the COPA). Which against South American teams is not going to go over very well.
75% Messi-lovers ....you could tell when both national anthems were played and you could barely hear them being sung...but, YES, great crowd.
France just dodged a bullet with a Dutch offsides taking a goal away. 0-0 through 70 minutes. Game has been a bit choppy, but also some exciting plays and great goaltending. Wish Mbappe was playing.
France had been dominating the 2nd half before that disallowed goal.

As good as Spain and Germany have looked (and I had them and England as the prohibitive favorites) - it is just the group stage. I think of the English in Euro 96 running rampant over the Dutch and then losing in pks to Germany and the Dutch in WC 2014 blitzing Spain and their group and then getting dunked in penalties.
As lifeless as the English have been - they've got players (and 4 points!). They just need to advance.
In general, looking great now is good but it is really just about advancing. Once you get to the last 8 really anybody with some breaks can win it.
