Kernow Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 They're continuing this format in to the 2020 Euros apparently. So you can still win 0 games in the groups and finish 3rd but still win the tournament. Fair play to Portugal, I'd have accepted England winning in that manner, but it does show the system up as being a bit ****. But if UEFA want to carry on with it then whatever, we'll just have to put up with national teams playing for draws to scrape through in 3rd again for a while.

DCFCArmy Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Worst tournament I've ever watched personally, dunno about everyone else. Portugal 7 matches 1 win... European Champions.. The football poor, the finishing poor, and the tournament ends with Ronaldo taking his shirt off and doing a Terry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
England Ram Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Overall a very average tournament with a few good games, a few good minnow stories and the odd bit of great play. Portugal reminded me so much of Greece. A better version, but non the less to not win a game in normal time, finish third in the group and still win......... From an England stand point all the pontificating about what we can improve really comes down to having a team plan, a work ethic to match and a determination to carry it through. Whoever the next manager is they need to concentrate on that and the rest will take care of itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiabob Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I see football snobbery again hits this tournament...... "Rubbishy tournament" "24 teams rubbish"...... MOAN MOAN MOAN. May not have been easy on the eye these Portuguese...... They did the one thing no one else did. Stayed undefeated..... Defended well..... Undefeated in competitive football since manager started in 2014. 5 of last 9 major semi finals..... But as ever as long as it looks pretty and it's passed 150 times before ball goes in that should only count. Paul Clement must be laughing..... Winning no matter what. Battle and desire...... Portugal are worthy champions...... But we will get back to wingeing about half and half scarves and "laughing" at Ronaldo for getting injured and retweeting little handjobs who tweet "payback for 2006" about him, when they were at a age when they still believe in Santa and the tooth fairy. Think I digressed a bit there. Vamos! Xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCArmy Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Greece at least won 50% of their matches to win Euro 2004... Portugal won 14% of there's. That Greece side would have won every match in this Euros imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 The team that wanted it most in extra time won it and fair play to them. The French got exactly from the match what they put in and just like our lot did against Iceland!! They deserved to lose, simples!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 France didn't really turn up. Bet @ramit wished his Iceland could have faced this France rather than the one that ran riot with fast one-touch football. Sissoku showed them the way but nobody followed. Payet has got worse as the tournament progressed, Pogba was kept wayyyy too deep and greaseman had an off night. Both teams still showed our mob up tho.....

Rampage Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 England - Involved in most if not all of the bad behaviour Played most ancient type of football for most of it - take half an hour to reach half way line and be surprised that eleven defenders are already there to head or kick it back. Iceland and Wales are proper football teams, England is not, hello! Manager is very good at defeating lower teams in qualifiers and hopeless in tournaments. 2020 - see 2016 for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Well done Portugal and Ronaldo, my hero. Thank you for beating France after they took a bad tackle each from the French in the first 25 minutes. Crap competition, Crap England. Well done Iceland and Wales.

Yeah, well done to them, deserved it more than France tonight who at least can console themselves with having held the competition. Sure you will, eat proper, get enough rest between exercising and you're in with a half chance mate. Seriously though, i think it's like reverse psychology. Ever notice how when you desperately don't want something and then you get it? Or better yet, when you just don't care, yep you get it. Avoid and yea shall find? Not bothered and get it handed to you? Only problem is, once you get it, you will either resent it or can't be bothered. Forget i mentioned it, it's a no win situation. Not a chance mate, won't happen Ronaldo is the exception of course that proves the rule, the ******* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
