The Germany and Holland games were at Wembley, but France (Bryan Robson) was in Bilbao, forget where the Argentina win (Beckham pen?) was held but wasn't in the '96 Euros obviously.

Famous last words perhaps, but neither Czech nor Scotland looked particularly good yesterday. To use a tired old cliche, the form book goes out the window in Eng Scot games though. A draw would not be a bad result for England, having beaten Croatia.
It doesn't really matter if we finish first or second in the group as looks likely. We've probably got France or Germany or Portugal next, so tough whoever we play.

We've probably got France or Germany or Portugal next, so tough whoever we play. Four out of the six 3rd placed teams qualify. Which means 3 points would almost certainly see a team qualify for the knock-out stage. I don't buy into this "the form book goes out the window in Eng Scot games" In the last 40 years England have played Scotland 15 times, with a record of won 10, drawn 3, lost 2. Besides, this Scottish side is poor, Championship level at best (no offense intended). England should beat them easily, no mater what side Southgate picks. My only worry is that the Jocks will be psyched-up, full of the 'remember Bannockburn'/ Braveheart shite, that they'll try and compensate for their inferioty by trying to kick England out of the game. Let's hope we get a decent ref.

Are they doing covid tests before you enter? This Hungary Portugal game looks full so whoever they play next round if they get through they could be spreading covid..

Portugal achievements are quite incredible considering their population...just 10m
About 15% of our population

I struggle to watch as my blood boils and it completely spoils my enjoyment. These are horrible, cynical developments in the game. Not enjoyable at all. I'm quite encouraged by the refereeing so far in this comp, touch wood. They are not going to get everything right, but not bad at all.

Hungary just had a free kick on the half way line and after 3 backwards passes it was back with their goalkeeper who booted it back to the halfway line to a Portuguese player.
What was the point of that?

What was the point of that? They must have been copying Stoke, we do it very often. It absolutely does my nut in.......exactly, what is the point??? A player who passes back from a free kick on the half way should be substituted imo unless you are winning with a few minutes to go.

We beat spain in the nations league in 2018. I think one issue is that its very rare we would draw one of them in a qualifying tournamnet, and then beyond that you are mainly looking at tournament games, so that means loosing to one of them once (or even someone else) and your out of the tournament. So friendlies aside how many times have we actually played those teams in a competitive game over that time? More often than not they beat us though don’t they? West Germany or Germany have knocked us out of five tournaments since 1970. Argentina have knocked us out of two. Portugal have knocked us out of two. Italy have knocked us out of two. Brazil have knocked us out of one. Have we beaten any major footballing nation in a knockout game in that time other than Spain (and even then we were lucky)?

Hungary giving it a bit of a go. It feels like the equivalent of Barnsley v. Chelsea, quality wise, but in front of 60,000 Barnsley fans.
a draw will not be a good result for Portugal.
Hungary don't look like they have any single decent player, but somehow still in this game.

So far in the opening games all the big players have been quiet, Bale, Kane, Lewandowski and now Ronaldo. Surely this game isn't going be 0 - 0 again! That will be 2 on the trot after last night.

Miles offside
The rule about linesmen not raising flag until eons after needs changing back

why the hell did the linesman wait for the player to put it in the net before he puts his flag up???.... he's dribbled the ball for about 20 yards before that!!!
