France didn't look very special vs Austria. Only score was a really dumb Austrian own goal.

The European Championship is sooo much better than the World Cup. While it does not include the best from South America (Brazil, Argentina, Colombia), we don’t get the dregs from Asia, Oceania, Africa, Concacaf, et al.
We'll see. I have no rooting interest, but Mbappe missed an excellent scoring opportunity, and now it looks like he's sitting out next one with his broken nose. They did play an excellent brand of bend-don't-break defense.It’s early.

That the Saudis approached the refs pre-game and asked if they wanted the Khashoggi treatment.
True. But they had some opportunities.France didn't look very special vs Austria. Only score was a really dumb Austrian own goal.
Host country usually does pretty well.Look out for Germany.

Wish that would hold true for 2026 WC.
None of them are passing very well. Does England know they are wearing white? And what is TAA doing??? Anything??Denmark looking feisty. England a bit lazy in 1st half. They'll need a JC halftime speech.
JC couldn't coach this sport. He'd start yanking players 40 seconds in and would be out of substitutions by the five minute mark.Denmark looking feisty. England a bit lazy in 1st half. They'll need a JC halftime speech.

It was a great one, although spoiled by diving and theatrics. All too common among La Liga and Serie A teams.Spain vs Italy. Hope this is a good one.
That game yesterday was just dreadful for Italy. They looked timid most of the game. I doubt the match against Croatia goes easier. So far, I'm not impressed by the lineups or Spalletti's tactics.This version of Italy is having trouble creating and finishing chances

Did they do that to you in the 99th minute of Hungary/Scotland?Germany gets the header equalizer against Switzerland in the 92nd minute with 2 minutes remaining and Fox goes to a useless weather update. Same thing happened yesterday. They spent 15 minutes talking about a thunderstorm warning as if we have never had a thunderstorm before. What a bunch of maroons.
