IbanezJem Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Can we agree that Lainer's goal is the best so far? Yarmolenko's was nice too, but we've seen those curves quite a few times before.Good to see a few games, Italy and this one, with a bit of zip in them. Too many major championships can be slothful. Maybe teams are enjoying the latitude some third place qualifying offers, or they`ll revert to type in the knockouts, but hopefully not; it would be great to have a really memorable tournament to wrap up the last eighteen months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schick's second was pretty cool! (Sorry, IbanezJem)When you`ve seen as much football as me/us and a defender (miles from home, position vacated) takes on a long range shot, I was shouting "don`t shoot, you idiot!". No quibbles with the lad finishing it, but again... Scotland don`t play with a sweeper keeper, so why was Marshall wandering around in a position he could be beaten? :tsk: Errors you rarely see from more grizzled international sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhawkrush Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Robert, may Lewandowski and friends enjoy a performance of rare boobery from Dubravska and Skriniar.And don't forget three current or ex-Ekstraklasa players. That said, we still might mess it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
