LittleHurt05 Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 Well that was quite the boring first half. Northern Ireland playing for the scoreless tie. Hopefully Poland can find an accurate cross or Lewandowski can make a star play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 QUOTE (zenryan @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 03:04 PM) What is with FOX and ESPN feeling the need to given a token analyst spot to former US women players? Both the girl on FOX and Wambach have been terrible and useless. Wait, Wambach when describing Bale's first have goal said she was happy and proud of him. Dynamite drop in Abby, that broadcasting school is really starting to pay off.... I can't argue with that, but the other side is that Julie Foudy is fantastic. She's been doing it for years though.

chw42 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 France score 2 late goals to advance to the knockout stages. Payet scored in garbage time, but that's now 2 goals for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) England pulls off a very un-England win. Sucks for Wales.

LittleHurt05 Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 All that hype and anticipation ends in a 0-0 tie. Now I remember why us Americans hate soccer, ha. At least Poland is in great shape to advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Poland did well to get a draw. They might not win the group, but they'll at least advance to the round of 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With defenses focusing on Lewandowski, it's gonna be Millik to finish those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Croatia looks like the best team in the tournament. Even in their tie they completely dominated that game and lost because of their protesting idiot fans. Surprised by them, but looking at their roster the amount of big clubs their players play may rival that of an England, Italy, etc. Surprising for an Eastern Europe team.

Not sure how serious of an injury Modric has, but I don't think they'll get farther than the quarters without him. With Modric they have an elite midfield and their attack is decent with Perisic and Mandzukic. Very balanced team. Spain probably should have won or drew against them. They had a golden chance to go up with a penalty and missed it. Edited June 21, 2016 by chw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) They had a good shot at a fairly open goal the very last 30 seconds as well. Spain just doesn't have enough offensive playmakers/finishers anymore, compared with 6 years ago.

They might not have a prime Villa or Fernando Torres, but they're solid up front. Plus Silva, Busquets, and Iniesta are still some of the best midfielders in the world.
