Euro 2024

[Morten]

Was hoping for ET but Germany look strong AF.

They are one of the favorites, but actually, thought Denmark played better than expected, and exposed some of their weaknesses.

Strong? They are very beatable. Haven't played someone strong and won.

 

[ajnotkeith]

Those 2 minutes with the ref decisions decided the game really. Denmark looked likely winners after the 1-0.

Musiala is great, ahead of likes of Gavi and Pedri imo.

Having Musiala on the pitch is more impactful than having Pedri or Gavi. Much better profile than those two.

Musiala has gone up a level. Don't think Pedri or Gavi are anywhere near him if we're being honest.. best hope might be Yamal. He would be even more hyped if he played for Madrid/Barca or PL.

 

[jamrock]

Pedri and especially gavi are completely different players and both missed 1-2 seasons of football.

Musiala is special though.

Writz is more comparable to Pedro and yamal to Musiala, gavi doesn't really have a comp, he's a box to box.

 

[jamrock]

Germany weren't that impressive or dominant, a better striker for Denmark and they'd probably at least get it to extra time or win.

VAR is a fucking blight on football

How so?

They did miss quite a few sitters with Havertz especially responsible.

Watching them vs Denmark and how we played against them, shows how far off it we’ve been.

VAR is a fucking blight on football

It is what it is - VAR and offside is black or white and nothing in between just as it should be imo. The handball looked unintentional of course, but the rule is it should be close to the body or it's a pk. VAR is usually the same for both teams, as long as the ref doesn't overrule it or doesn't even look at it. Imo against PSG if the ref actually took the fucking time to use VAR most probably Araujo wouldn't get the red card because it was soft af.

 

[ZenI]

I'm still pissed af at the ref and the Araujo situation, he just put the and on his shoulder without even pulling and he fell down like a sack of potato.

 

[Wambo]

Italy (winner of last edition) and Denmark (semi finalist last time) both were 2nd in their groups and absolutely had no chance advancing to the 1/4 finals. They got demolished. It's insane how low quality this tournament has become. And they want to expand it even more lol

The rules are the rules, of course, and stuff like the handball is fine, but is it really neccessary to call offside, when you have to measure it by mere mm's?
If Zlatan played in the VAR-era from the begining, he would have had tens of goals disallowed because of his nose, and its probably not even a joke.

State of that Rojofiam in the Hojlund thread on Redcafe. The guy is clueless - Hojlund is and will remain a nothing player.
