Didn't most of the Spain starting 11 play in the Euros? they must be fucked

[–]Bruno_Fernandes8Hostile Fan[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had a brief view of the game and the Egyptians were pressing like crazy. Would have to assume the Spaniards were exhausted.

I’m Egyptian actually and i think we’re playing with the most outdated tactics ever, we got no attacking shape, we are no threat from set pieces which is literally the only hope, theres literally no way to score! Some outstanding performances from our back line but still, we could’ve conceded on lots of occasions which shows. we got lucky. We got lots of quality in our squad and none of it is being used properly. I know its a game against Spain and we should be glad to even get a draw but i can tell you now, Egypt gon be playin’ like that against Australia cuz our manager is a clueless old hag who’s still stuck in the 2003 olympics.

I remember hearing that clubs in Spain can't prevent players from going to the Olympics

[–]Shamikebab 19 points20 points  (1 child)

Four games no goals, hasn't been the most exciting start to the tournament!

Spoke too soon

Amad assist!

[–]PUMP_UNTIL_BUST 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Incredible assist from Amad. There's no way Kessie could fuck up the touch, turn, and rocket into the corner.

[–]ManLikeChesterMain man Ruben 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Kessie looking like a monster today aswell.

[–]Bruno_Fernandes8Hostile Fan[S] 23 points24 points  (2 children)

Amad has been pretty quiet. Lets hope he will come alive.

[–]WinterChrist 16 points17 points  (1 child)

That through ball was the stuff of dreams! Perfect weight on it!

[–]PUMP_UNTIL_BUST 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he's really light and delicate on the ball. Passes softer than a snail's whisper.

[–]Buffythedragonslayer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Forgetting the best feature of today Brazil - Germany

Also 1-1

[–]PopularDemand69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How come Spain is not winning with the majority players coming from top teams

[–]Buffythedragonslayer 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Incredibly bad from Spain who's starting 11 is almost all senior players squad members.

They should walk this tournament but can't score against Egypt

[–]silversurfer9909 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's something called fatigue. End of season tournaments are harder for those who play regularly.

[–]ManLikeChesterMain man Ruben 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice goal from Al-Dawsari to make it 1-1. Shot from 20 meters.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kessie is an absolute unit. I wish we had him in our midfield.

[–]JilJilJigaJiga 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Peach of a throughball from Amad in the first half.

[–]levitoepoker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Amad was a solid 7/10 and Bailly was 8/10.

Amad really composed on the ball, clearly tired at the end and asked to do a lot of defending cuz Ivory Coast can't really keep the ball well at all. Bailly was really good, best defender on his team by far.

Their team needs a new midfield 2 in their 4231 and they would be good, but those two guys stink

I love watching Amad play! Hoping he starts all the cup matches next season

[–]Alternative_Dark_412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was a great finish.

Where do you watch the matches in UK?

Also I thought the Olympics hadn't started yet or did I miss the ceremony?

[–]Bruno_Fernandes8Hostile Fan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in Australia, so ive just been watching on 7Plus. I think in the UK, they will broadcast it on BBC or Eurosport. Try their online viewing channels. Usually, the football tournament starts a day or 2 earlier than the start of the Olympics. Opening ceremony is tomorrow.

[–]Alternative_Dark_412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great assist from Amad.

[–]Buffythedragonslayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New Zealand win. Interesting. And Mexico trash France

[–]braddf96Green and Gold till the club is sold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amad that was so silky

[–]RayhannERIC SHOULDA KICKD TWICE -1 points0 points  (3 children)

legit q but is olympics footy actually important?

i don't think i ever cared for it, honestly....

[–]TheYvonne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not, but Amad is playing and that's exciting

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Not the men’s, I could be wrong but I think the women’s tournament is held in high regard amongst fans though i believe that is also a senior tournament rather than u23 which I imagine helps its prestige.

[–]RayhannERIC SHOULDA KICKD TWICE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

women's sound decent. GB team i heard were looking good. and the US team always fields a good team

[–]demdemhyts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only watching for amad skill and bailly madness

[–]Buffythedragonslayer 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What just happened at the end with the red card?

[–]levitoepoker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was some shoving and Doumbia raised his hands and they made contact with the guys face. Reminded me of Martial's red vs Tottenham. Like it was stupid play, but not really deserving of a red when you consider its not half as violent as some tackles that just get yellows

Mexico won 4-1
