I really enjoyed that Spain Sweden game. The longer Spain went without scoring, the funnier it was. Was really hoping Sweden would nick an undeserved winner late on, but you can't have everything.
Controversial take, Spain have never been a great side to watch even when they were at their peak 10 years ago.
Silva/Xavi/Iniesta... I have to respectfully disagree. When they were at the top they played some lovely football, i dont remember them blowing teams away but i did used to enjoy watching them.

Very impressive technically but I still wouldn't say exciting.

Me too - listening to the Spanish commentators here going on and on about how much they desetrved to win when they couldn't score was very funny. Mind you, if we meet Sweden with their ultra defensive football later on, and lose, I imagine I'll be regretting this post,
Gutted, two great finishes from Schick who was a class above pretty much anyone else on the pitch apart from, perhaps, Robertson and the Czech’s won fair and square. The pre-tournament excitement & optimism has been hit with a huge dose of reality.
Major changes needed to avoid total embarrassment on Friday against England.
I thought we were shit yesterday but i expect to see a different team on Friday and it is a different occasion.
I didn't see anything from England or Croatia that worries me (that doesn't mean we don't have to be at the top of our game just that we aren't out yet)

Funny how differently people see things.
I thought that having let Scotland have about 7 decent chances, I'd be confident England (and Croatia) will put a couple away v them, and having seen Scotland miss them all, I'm not particularly worried about facing the likes of Dykes.

I wish I shared your optimism. I think we’ll get battered by England and then get a plucky draw against Croatia.

Like I said, it’ll be a different team and a different occasion.
Hungary was, at the end of last week, reported to have given 49% of its population at least one jab. Curious that they’ve got a full-house of 61,000 (maybe negative tests required ?)

Probably just different cultural and political views.
A Covid jab was required. NB the players are going down like they've been shot & are rolling around pathetically. I wonder if this has anything to do with playing in front of a crowd?

Rui Patricio - Wolves main GK
Danilo Pereira - CDM for PSG
Cancelo got Covid so can't play but they, like England, seem to have an abundance of fullbacks to call upon
Were quality of course but didn't really feel like it was much in the way of a match with two teams.
