Haguey Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Germany can't be any worse surely, and despite being dominated by the French they had their own decent spell where they could easily have grabbed a draw. Portugal despite all the talent seem to play within themselves and it almost feels like the whole team is there to serve Ronaldo, who they are so reliant on. 2-1 Germany.

Rob1981 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 PERMUTATIONS: Portugal can confirm a top two finish with a win. Germany aren't out if they lose but they would need to beat Hungary on the last matchday and then hope they could still get through as a best third place team with only three points. A draw here doesn't qualify anybody for definite, but it does mean Portugal and France could then play out a draw on Matchday 3 knowing that the other two teams can't catch them.

martinji Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Pougatch likes the sound of his own voice far too much. His approach is basically "Guest, listen to me spend twenty seconds putting my opinion to you in the form of a question, which I will then give you a maximum of five seconds to agree with". Rinse and repeat. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Souness trying to get thrown off ITV here he's saying the same thing I said about the Croatia game, England won and it was comfortable but there was nothing exciting about the team, Croatia were terrible as well. I know it's the groups and we've seen teams get off to a fast start (one example off the top of the my head is the Holland one in Euro 2008 when they beat Italy and France easily in the groups and then lost to Russia in the knockouts, albeit a decent Russian team) playing two holding midfielders isn't going to work, creativity is needed and not swapping Foden for Grealish when Foden has been the best player for England at that point.

CFuller Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 One of the toughest games to call so far. I'm predicting a 1-1 draw, but wouldn't be surprised if either team won by a wide margin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony85 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Still maintain that it's even more tedious reading all you complaining about the pundits than it is listening to them. I mean you moan about how they're not talking about the match - yet I go into a match thread - and there is nothing about the match except a bunch of people whining about how they're not talking about the match.

The weirdest thing about him is he always talks like it, even when he's in dictionary corner on Countdown. I think ITV can do better.
