UEFA Euro 2024

[AK47MVP]

will Scotland have at least one shot attempt in all game?

[Baphomet]

5-1, brutal for Scotland

Already more goals than Euro 2016

They have no shots on target in official stat sheet, so could be proud of having somehow scored a goal, especially while a man down.

[Foye]

Strong start. Musiala and Wirtz are just amazing.
Gotta say I am not a fan of Sane.
He came in in the second half and the game looked much more stagnant because he was not passing the ball.

[El Turco]

everyone had Hungary as their darkhorse, they dont look like they belong so far

[hermes]

go croatia

[hermes]

wait, did the announcers just say that someone hasn't out-possessed spain in a match since 2008?? holy smokes that's impressive

[wco81]

What a pass. How often does Spain score off a counter?

[hermes]

spain scores quickly off a turnover

croatia had been doing a really good job of possessing the ball themselves.

[hermes]

wow things have really turned

[El Turco]

What a pass. How often does Spain score off a counter?

I assume it is going to happen more often than usual considering the two rockets they have on the wings.


Teams seem to be depending on much younger players than usual too, particularly up front. Germany had Musiala-Wirtz, Spain has their two teenagers on the wings, England has Palmer-Bellingham, Turkey could start three teenagers up front etc

[hermes]

wow croatia almost got one back

[wco81]

Well Morata isn't young but he outran the defense on that through pass.

Croatia generated a couple of decent chances, maybe they can still make it a game in the second half.

[hermes]

well this is getting out of hand

[El Turco]

Croatia defense is too slow both physically and in reaction time, or Spain making them look this silly.

[wco81]

Spoke too soon

[Baphomet]

I feel like many, myself included, may have underestimated Spain.

I'd be interested to see how they fare against a more aggressive pressing midfield, though. They have some real pace for the out ball now.

[Baphomet]

Wow, should have been 4-0, great save by Livakovic.

[El Turco]

wait, did the announcers just say that someone hasn't out-possessed spain in a match since 2008?? holy smokes that's impressive

My announcer just said Spain's last 50 goals in euros all came from inside the box. Last one to score from outside the box was Raul, who was one of the best strikers of my childhood and I am in my mid 30s.

[hermes]

how did they not score there?
