Argentinian league was also suspended for half a year or something like that due to Covid so number of games will be effected by that. They cut the league short just like they did in France last year.

Dembelé out for the remainder of the tournament for France. But I think Coman will be back in the squad after missing the last game due to his child being born.

Yeah, me too. It's bouncy and has so much energy. I had it on a mix tape that someones older brother had made when I was a kid but then I kinda forgot about it and then rediscovered it when watching one of those action dirt bike videos back in the late 90's that had a cover of it in the soundtrack. Crusty Demons of Dirt 2 or something like that. So much good music in those old snowboard and skate videos

And done a mediocre game pretty much every time. I watch him quite a lot for Sampdoria and he's almost always touch and go if he's going to be able to play the game. Credit to him that actually plays when he's not 100% unlike someone like Sturridge. There is talk about him moving back to Allsvenskan and I hope he does.

Albin Ekdal walk off Sweden training early today as he's nursing an injury Can't wait for him to retire from international football. I mean I've nothing really against him, he's a solid alibi player who's OK-ish at most things but not good at anything. But he's always injured, always. And it's well past time we gave his starting spot to one of the younger guys like Svanberg or Cajuste. Ekdal needs to retire along with Lustig, Granqvist, Berg, Larsson (who actually still pulls his weight) and Gustav Svensson

Think they might be hoping to hold on to Haaland for another season and then hope that Youssoufa Moukoko can step up despite only being a kid. But yeah, if Haaland is sold this summer then Isak for a season or 2 for €30m while Moukoko develops would have made sense. They will have a hole to fill if Haaland is sold now before the release clause kicks in next summer.

Was possibly something that was already in the contract. Pay (insert sum) to buy out the buy-back clause kinda thing.

His arms thou, the left one looks like it's twice the size of the right one. He looks like Quagmire after he discovered internet porn.

Honestly don't see Wes, Davis or Traore as competent backup going in to next season. If the stars align then Wes might get up to speed towards then new year, but that's a big if considering the injury, the time he's been out and frankly his ability to begin with. Davis isn't a PL quality attacker currently and I'd be surprised if he isn't sent out on loan. Traoré has played the odd games as forward in his career but the bulk of those games came back in 14/15 in the Dutch division with Vitesse. He is a RW and would not be able to do any of the things we depend on Watkins to do when he plays. Think we risk being hamstrung if we fail to bring in another attacker next season but I get if the money has to be spent in other areas.

Apparently Sociedad has bought out the buy back clause from Dortmund in Alexander Isak's contract so he's now 100% a Real Sociedad player. Cost then a couple € million but less than €10m so good deal for them considering half of the top clubs in Europe are interested after him having 2 solid games at the Euro's. They are also looking to tie him down to a new contract with a higher release clause than the current €70m.

Turkey had the youngest team in the tournament, and one of the least experienced. And it kinda showed. Learn and move on I guess.

11 wins in a row with 32-0 in GD and 30 straight games without a loss. Pretty impressive from Italy.

This is not a PL league game thou. It's the Euro's and the refs are from other countries and have discussed different situations before the tournament. According to the referee that is in the Swedish studio this is one of the things they are looking to "stamp out" I mean thank god VAR is not consistent here to what it is in the PL

Have no issue with those ones getting a red card. Feels like a 50/50 if it's a red but I hate those challenges and players do it far too often these days.

Well that was new Almost worked too although I've no idea if the Italy wall played any part in it.

Turkey with a predictable no-show. 2-0 down already, can't be long before they lose temper and start collecting cards.

As a Sampdoria fan it makes me happy to see Mancini, Vialli, Lombardo, Evani & Sansano on the Italy staff. What a fantastic team Samp had back then. And for us Villa fans GK coach Massimo Battara was here briefly under RDM.

Predictable. And this is where they want to move the final to... https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/eurocopa/20210620/410104517362/uefa-mbappe-benzema-hungria-racismo.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_content=futbol And related to the post above they are thinking of lighting the Allianz Arena in the rainbow colors for the Germany vs Hungary game.

Italy going for a joint national record 30 straight games without a loss. And are still resting 8 players.

That national anthem performance Wales vs Italy was as lopsided as the U2 vs Bocelli at the opening ceremony

For whatever reason the Swedish squad found it a good idea to break the quarantine bubble and bring in 3 hairdressers to style the players ahead of the Slovakia game. Strange decision especially since they already had Covid among the players in the squad. Won the game thou and I'm sure they all looked suitably dapper but can't wrap my head around their thinking.

Donnarumma - Toloi, Bonucci, Bastoni, Emerson - Pessina, Jorginho, Verratti - Chiesa, Belotti, Bernardeschi Mancini swapping 8 players
