UEFA Euro 2020 Group D ** spoilers ** (England, Croatia, Scotland, C.Republic)

[Dis86]

Did they just say Stirling has 41 international goals but non in a tournament?

None in a major tournament. Not surprised when he keeps knocking them sky high like that.

 

[planty]

Out of interest how are you measuring he’s had a good start?

He's had some good moments and been involved in all of our good play to be fair. End product lacking though, standard Sterling.

 

[Kenai]

That's exactly why people berate Sterling, wastefully thumping the ball away like that

He’s been given the ball and then lost it as far as I can tell. That’s not a good start.
Not saying he won’t come good, but he ain’t had a good start.

Sterling makes more chances than most others, then people remember that he's failed to convert them rather than he made them in the first place.

He's a real threat. Better than the people that never give the ball away but will pass it sideways and backwards until the cows come home.

 

[omnomnom]

Sterling had all day there. Thats woeful.

 

[muon]

England deliberately not playing it out? Seems bizarre. Will invite pressure in the long run.

 

[Dis86]

Wtf was that? He just passed the ball off the pitch.

Keep the ball as far away from the defence as possible, it's a good tactic

That honestly makes zero sense to me in the context of England and this game

They did, but I think he misread his notes - it's 14, not 41.
41 would make him one of our top 5 scorers of all time.

 

[Kenai]

That's presumably why we're not playing out from the back

 

[sneakysnail]

not sure who's our weakest player so far. sterling or walker probably. Rice has been quiet though.

 

[mid_gen]

People who don't have UHD, I just figured out how to get it on my set that's to twitter.

Search for Euro2020, look for the live section at the bottom and it should show up there.

This works, go to 'all Euro 2020' from the front page...then the UHD stream is at the bottom. Bloody daft the front page doesn't have the UHD stream.

The HDR makes the shadow a lot less annoying.

 

[Dis86]

The defence look headless. Not marking. Running about in a cluster. Midfield holding this together.

 

[omnomnom]

Its a good thing if Rice is quiet.

He created the chance for foden and has already got in behind their defence a few times. He's a threat, a wasteful threat, but a threat nonetheless.

 

[bliss]

The match is screaming 1-0 Croatia at the moment. Probably from a penalty or free kick.

 

[RavenXXX2]

bbc stream quality is ****.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Walker's been abysmal. Can't find a pass to save his life. Midfield 3 the only players having decent games this half.

 

[muon]

bbc stream quality is ****.

I noticed if you are using the HD stream, the live channel stream (on BBC1 I assume) is a lot better.

4K HDR beats it though.
