Soucek and Kieffer Moore on the pitch and it's wee Dan James scoring the winning header.

We were poo poo until it was 10 v 10.

I'm talking about the people who don't even know it's u-23s.

The people who will watch the discus throw if the USA has a contender.

I will grant that the time to pearlclutch about GROWING THE SPORT has passed, the people who want to watch soccer here will find it.

Our players threw a lot of elbows in that game. Connor Roberts eventually got sent off for one.

Not sure Kudela was singled out, maybe Czechs all look the same to them idk

Is it Belgium's year? I haven't been following internationals at all. Is Germany over their meltdown? Spain and Italy, do they have any new talent or are they wheeling out the over 40 crew again? Netherlands are missing big Virg, that's gotta hurt. Probably France's tournament to lose? England? :lol:

One my favourite games at the euros is to try and work out which bang average player from a mid table club is going to put together 4 or 5 good performances and have all the big clubs desperate to sign him to a mega contract

Speaking of which, James Rodriguez got bounced from the Copa America squad due to fitness issues.

I wonder if anyone expected his career to go the way it has back in 2014 when he lit it up at the World Cup. It's not a bad career, but I think that tournament was his peak.

He scored one cool volley and got signed by Real Madrid, his career has gone exactly where I expected it to.

I was wondering who the betting markets think are going to win the whole thing, and they have England on par with France, which is kinda surprising.

remember that betting markets largely reflect where money is being put up, rather than an objective assessment of probability

england are always priced stupidly low for tournaments because there are still legions of dickheads who'll slam £50 on them to win at 4/1

I know, just saying this exact thing has happened so often with ESPN that it really is a running joke now.
