maydrakin Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 You have to be concerned about how many footballers have such a low pain threshold. Just the merest bit of contact sees them rolling on the ground in agony. Does my head in - they need to introduce a rule like rugby where players are treated on the pitch whilst the game continues. I imagine they would recover much quicker… Carnero, Alph, ramit and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way they do not waste time, they penalise the team if they are trying to waste time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Spain are going to struggle for the final. They've picked up so many severe injuries. I can't see Morata making it. I once saw a joiner lose his thumb in a saw and it didn't look as bad as some of the injuries Morata has gone through. uttoxram75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Spain have been by far the best, most cohesive team in the tournament. Lots of their individual players stepping up to a high level too. If England get to the final, Spain would have to be the real favourites. We’d need to stick tight and ride our luck at times if we were to win. The only game changer I could see now would be if their rhythm is sufficiently disrupted by absences. Premier ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 (edited) My main hope is that we simplly can't be as carp as we have been 5 times already! Surely we have one decent performance in us? Maybe that comes today...and in the final we revert to being garbage and an injury hit Spain get smashed on pens.

Guest Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Spain clearly been the best team and are deservedly favourites. However, got to say, I thought they looked vulnerable at the back at times last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're quite weak defensively in full back positions. Germany and France found lots of opportunities. They seem to always have a big gap between CBs and fullbacks and neither CB looks eager to get across and cover when they push forward. England would obviously have to spring counter attacks rather quickly though. Kane would have to walk really fast and Trippier would have to turn his head 90° to his left sometimes. It's a game for Palmer but I think there's more chance of starting with two goalkeepers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
