Euro 2016 General Thread - talk about cross-cutting issues

Claudius

A brave Uefa would reverse this decision for 2024, and 2020 if possible. But the latter is unlikely since they've already bribed half of Europe with the promise of games.

Wenger's interview with a Chinese TV station has made news today because of the part about Vardy, but he also talked about the tournament so far:

Part 1:

Part 2:

His best XI after the first round of matches was interesting....Pelle up front?!

Very interesting Ricky. Thanks. Pelle up front speaks volume about the lack of strikers in the competition.

Players he picked are not surprising. He tried to sign Juanfran 2 years ago and we are often linked with Guerreiro.

The shoddy pitches and the dodgy balls don't help with upping the quality of the games

Claudius

Best goal so far?

Modric piledriver against Turkey
Hamsik shooting across the goal and off the inside off the upright against Russia
What say ye?

Mirth

Payet in the first game.

Claudius

Yes, of course. That was a peach.

Klaus

I think Modric's goal is going to end up the hands down most difficult stunt anyone pulled off in the tournament. It's genius. Would have been a solid goal of the year contender in any league if it had been scored at club level.

Clrnc

Morata's goal against Turkey deserves a mention. Tiki taka at its best.

Klaus

From a personal point of view I'm a bit partial to Giaccherini's goal against Belgium though. The over the top pass from Bonucci is fantastic, and then Giaccherini brings it down perfectly and lifts the shot into the far corner.

The situation reminded me of the countless times we've seen Özil play that ball, only for the player on the receiving end to take a heavy touch and fuck it up.

I think Hamsik's is the best one, the Payet one comes second. Payet would've scored the best today if his volley went in off the crossbar.

The goalkeeper should've saved the Modric volley.

You're an aficionado of the long pass too Klaus, this goal was not just some hit and hope eye candy but constructed and executed like a surgical operation.
The second from Pelle was just as good.

Mirth

It's great having a centre back who can play that pass as well as being generally amazing at defending

Agree with this, Hamsik's goal was surgical. Loves to score those belters in the top corner from 18-30 yards, got one earlier this year vs Germany too

QuincyAbeyie

Damn, that's brilliant.

On a completely different note, our two CMs have both been among the best ones in the tournament.

Ricky1985

And Özil completing the potential central trio. 🙂

Gazza M

bilic has been interesting to listen to on the pundit desk. i can see why he gets a lot out of his players

jones

This is the thread for the rest of the tournament yeah?

Shit draw
