how good would a national team be if former Yugoslavia states rejoined together?

Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, North Macedonia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo

Did Carli Lloyd really just inject Pulisic's name in the best player in the world convo? Facepalm.

Yeah but one of the cool parts is watching the national parts go at each other. I can't imagine the stuff in the streets and stands.

And IIRC some of them are not allowed to be in the same groups.

I forgot what tournament Switzerland and Serbia played but it was an extremely intense match because Shaqiri and Xhaka's families were from Kosovo originally. It's worth watching the highlights because that stadium looked like it was going to implode with emotion…especially after they both scored goals then celebrated.

And when they scored they did ethnically derogatory hand signs. And IIRC it was was the last EURO

It is but it always gets out of hand. Serbia threatening to leave the tournament because Croatia and Albania fans joined together to chant "Kill kill kill Serbia" during their match.

It's not surprising. The countries haven't done much to reconcile in 30 years so no reason why we would expect anything different on the pitch. But it always gets ugly. Always.

I know a guy that hid in a haystack as a kid while soldiers bayoneted the hay to look for people hiding.

Kinda hard to forgive **** like that

I mean that's 30 yards to Pickford's side and he still couldn't touch it.

Absolutely. It's understandable. Even after 30 years. But that doesn't make it any less ugly.

Man this pitch is absolute sheet. Supposedly it's a mixture of real turf with synthetic woven in. They have to be embarrassed by it's condition.

Southgate is determined to just sit back and defend. He's got attacking players galore and has no clue how to use them.

They've had an immense amount of rain there and it would appear the pitch is not holding up to it.

According to some, the sun came out but they never opened the roof to air it out. I don't know. But it's horrible.

There are fouls all over this field and he's not calling anything. The one he did call he ignored a massive advantage.

England are very passive. Lots of standing around, very little energy or movement.

I would bring on Cole Palmer at half.

I like the fact he isn't calling much because most of these possible fouls are dives anyways. Saka flops around like he's trying to be Neymar

England playing like Austin FC did in the 2nd half last night. Inviting pressure and when they do get the ball back, no one can be bothered to get up field and stretch the Danes. How can they be this tired looking in the 2nd game?

I like Foden is actively trying to occupy the exact same space that England's best player wants to occupy. Foden is great but England need an actual left sided player who wants to stay on the left.

I'm not sure why TAA is on the field as a CDM. He isn't a great defender and they aren't really having him push forward…what's the point?

They need to play everything through Foden and have their outside backs screaming up the field. Dude is a badass

Question on referring: Set piece. Defender, while the ball is in the air, tackles an attacker.

Do you call the foul immediately or wait to see the result of the play?

He's a badass for City, but he has built a reputation of not showing up for England. He keeps getting into the same area as Bellingham and overcrowding it. He should have played Saka in that channel at the end there and instead blew it 10 yards over the bar.

Grealish needs to get out of Man City. He's won stuff. But because he doesn't fit what Pep wants he didn't play enough and lost his spot with England. They could use his dribbling skills desperately.

You better wait and see where the ball ends up. Blowing a fast foul while the ball ends up in the net is never a good feeling.

That's what I thought. Basketball referees are the worst at making the transition to the beautiful game.

I was really surprised he wasn't on the team. I guess that's why?

Gordon took his spot. More pace and better attacker. That being said they are very thin a LW. Having to shove Foden left is not ideal.
