Reading a couple of posts above you realize that for some with short memories you're only as good as your last tournament which is a 😂
Kylian Mbappé is a Global football superstar who had taken on the status of elite top dollar player from the USA and Saudi league footballers Messi and Ronaldo who are in the Autumn of their magnificent careers.
Stats purloined from the post above:
12 goals from 14 games at World cups, including 4 in finals and the man is still only 25 !0 -
Couldn't agree more - I feel like there's a lot of underestimating of Netherlands going on too. Unless we improve a lot against them I can't see us winning.Jessie said:I woke up at 2.20am last Sunday and caught the penalty shootout between England and Switzerland. Needless to say I was extremely happy that England went through to the semi final. But reading the posts in the Switzerland game thread and this thread I feel some of you have been overly confident about England's performances🤣 I watched all four quarterfinals in full later and the England vs. Switzerland game was the worst😅 Much as I want England to do well (I always do), I think England will need some luck to reach the final, not to mention winning the tournament.😅
Although I said the same against Switzerland, so maybe we'll still be pretty bad and scrape through?2 -
Nach pushing Mbappe's head in the ground was disgusting. Surely he can't get away with that.2

Mbappe will be tested now he's going to Madrid, he'll have a battle with Vini Jr for that left side position0

Apart from Scotland and maybe a couple others I think we've been the worst team out there. Just have had things go our way (the luck you mentioned), a stronger squad if used and a few moments of individual quality that has seen us through. Otherwise we're dull, predictable and slow.Jessie said:
Everything could happen in just one game, which is why tournaments like this are so entertaining. But if one can take off the rose tinted glasses, it's not hard to see that England are definitely at the bottom half of the final 8 teams (sorry!). I think England have gone backwards since the last two tournaments, especially in open plays and set pieces - this is especially a disappointment considering set pieces used to be England's strong suit. Granted you have improved in areas like penalty shootouts and the mentality needed to come from behind to win a game. But other teams play much better football. You'll definitely need luck to beat Netherlands.North Lower Neil said:

That Dani Olmo goal reminded me a bit of Mendoncas in the play off final where he took 2 touches and then scored.
Both fantastic goals.6 -
just spotted a couple of big CAFC fans on ITV when they just went live to Dortmund0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJqimlFcJsM"I think it's bad news for the English game"
"We're not creative enough, and we're not positive enough"
It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home
[Spoken]
"We'll go on getting bad results, getting bad results, getting bad results, getting bad results"
It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home
[Verse 1]
Everyone seems to know the score
They've seen it all before
They just know
They're so sure
That England's gonna throw it away
Gonna blow it away
But I know they can play
'Cos I remember[Chorus]
Three Lions on the shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming
[Verse 2]
So many jokes, so many sneers
But all those oh-so-nears
Wear you down
Through the years
But I still see that tackle by Moore
And when Lineker scored
Bobby belting the ball
And Nobby dancing
[Spoken]
"England have done it in the last minute of extra time!"
"What a save! Gordon Banks!"
"Good old England, England that couldn't play football
England have got it in the bag"[Bridge]
I know that was then
But it could be again
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home

I dont know... I think each team were asked, what song they wanted playing after they won after a game at Euro 2020.cafcdave123 said:Why?
Think "Its Coming Home" had already started to become a bit of a frowned upon song, by the fun police so they chose something random, might have been because it was sung a lot by the England team at the 2018 World Cup.
I presume they didnt waste their time asking Scotland what they wanted playing.2 -
So Spain won that Final? - I dont get the reason for being pedantic - I mean I'd get it, if I'd said: No Spanish side has lost a Final since 2001... But I didnt.jimmymelrose said:

what about it would the fun police have a problem with?0
