Mad isn’t it? Musiala looks head and shoulders above the other Germans out there when it comes to ball control. I genuinely can’t believe Sane has gotten so many minutes when he’s right there on the bench.
Yeah playing Sane for 90 mins is a shocker for me. He’s embarrassing in most games I see these days.

Hungary did very well. Scoring three goals and drawing against Germany and France was great for them.

Does anyone remember a game United played, I think against Blackburn, where for the last 10 minutes we just passed the ball around because the title was won?

I don't think VAR can award a free kick which might have been what happened there. Checked for a pen, saw the contact, but determined it was out of the box, and as the ref didn't give a foul, it's a goal kick.
Ok maybe so if it can only intervene for a pen.

I'd have to see it again. He had his hands on him outside the box but I thought the calf stomp was inside the box.

Like I said when Pep leaves City then so many of their 'stars' will regress to form. KBD is the only top player there now. Do you really think Dias is the best CB in the World? City and Liverpool (when they lose Klopp) will have a massive fall off because the coaches make the players look much better than they are.
I think for Sane it may have more to do with his ACL tear. Hasn't really been on the same level since.

England to go up 1-0 against Germany, then sit back and get scored on in the 80th+ minute. Lose in extra time or penalties to Germany.

Job done but at a hefty price. Let's hope Hernandez can recover.

Hard to pick a winner in this tournament. Italy look the best team but have not really played anyone decent. England look solid if unspectacular, France should do well but need to play better.

Could be a fluke winner like Greece 2004

Why was the Portugal manager losing his mind there? Trying for top?
Guess they were in no danger when the Germany game finished so he wanted them to go for the win, losing didn't change anything at that point.

England have every chance if they play pace trio of sterling,rashford,saka as front three against this slow German defense.

Massive Respect and kudos to Hungary, they didn't become the punching bag of the death group, they held their own and stood tall ... Well done
