    Thoughts on Foden (c)?

    1. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years

      Potentially very good. Possible issue is he may play less minutes if Southgate decides to bring on Palmer.

      I am captaining one of Bell or Ruiz

    only one team playing any football so far

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      No surprise there

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        Williams is definitely the danger man

        1. JBG
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 days ago

          Been really impressed by him

  12. nerd_is_the_werd

    This game is panning out exactly how we anticipated it to.
    Spain dominating possession, link-up play and England playing for a draw in order to nick a win at the end.

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Spain not creating chances though till now

  13. Revival

    Yellow card for the man with the yellow boots and yellow arm band

  14. Digital-Real

    This has pens written all over it. With a win for England

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      England really the most boring team this euros. Just painful to watch their games.

      1. thegame983
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        To be fair. France were much worse.

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        the amount of whinging about England is whats boring.

        1. jacob1989
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 3 days ago

          Yes france were equally boring.. not only england are boring but they make their opponents also boring

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 3 days ago

            who do you support?

  15. JBG
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    Kane and Morata having a battle of who can be the most useless striker for their team, Kane "winning" atm.

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Both are tied. Both useless

    Yawnfest

    1. TOLV TUMS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Yep. Typical cup final stuff. Not sure why I always expect more going on.

  17. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    Who will miss their penalty?

    1. el polako
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      I’d love to see Saka score his.

  18. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    This england team reminds me of greece 2004. In fact greece atleast tried to win 1-0 and they did

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Yawn.

  19. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    Why isnt Saka taking on the very average Cucurella? Don't understand it. Just cuts back inside all the time

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      He’s not just against Cucurella. He’s getting doubled up on every time otherwise that is of course what he’d be doing

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        Not every time.

    2. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Cucurella had an absolute shocker at the start of his Chelsea career but has come on leaps and bounds since then.

  20. gooberman

    Kane has to come off. He slows England down. Slow, lumberous, poor touches and on a yellow. Hope Gareth doesnt wait until its too late. Need Watkins on.

    1. TOLV TUMS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Tired and not fully fit. Have to think it’s Gareth not wanting to face the ‘why no Kane’ questions in the post-loss pressers

      1. el polako
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
        He’s paid big money to make big decisions, Kane has been atrocious from day 1 in this tournament.

    2. Flekken' Hell
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Watkins will come on after 75th min and that is when England will try and fancy a win, late on in the game.

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      The 10 minutes of Watkins was more exciting offensively than 450 mins of Kane

  21. Flekken' Hell
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    As expected England draining the life out of this final. No intent to score, or play whatsoever. Saka needs to play further up, take on Spanish defense. Seems like England's only plan is to frustrate Spain and hope for a miracle.

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      many salty tears tonight from people who couldn't even qualify for the final. Dry your eyes mate.

      1. Flekken' Hell
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        Sweet Nico strike. Need tissues?!

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 days ago

          no, I'm not a cry baby.

          1. Flekken' Hell
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 3 days ago

            Good for you.

            'Your team didn't make it to final" doesn't apply to me. My team doesn't play this tournament.

            1. have you seen cyan
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 3 days ago

              oh that sucks, they couldn't even qualify for the tourney?

              1. Flekken' Hell
                • 9 Years
                2 years, 3 days ago

                It is called Euro for a reason. If you hold on to a globe you will find countries outside of Europe too. Look up sometime.

                1. have you seen cyan
                  • 6 Years
                  2 years, 3 days ago

                  yea, but you're no doubt chatting garbage and live in europe. Probably netherlands or something.

                  1. Flekken' Hell
                    • 9 Years
                    2 years, 3 days ago

                    Haha. Some of us are neutrals and only want an entertaining Final.

                    Watkins on, Palmer on. That's all I wanted.

  22. LarryDuff

    This is only a taster for the real final later

  23. fantasist

    Rodri off, gives England a much better chance

  24. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    Zubimendi on. Rodri looked like he jarred his knee in that Kane block

  25. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    Rodri injured?

  26. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • 13 Years

    Rodri owners in the mud!

    Sorry, I just can't wait for the season to start.
