Enjoying the sheer amount of goals so far but hoping for some more competitive games tomorrow. We got a decent 20ish mins in Hungary - Switzerland earlier but aside from that it’s been blow outs.

We will see more goals in tournaments going forward as they welcome more teams to compete lowering the overall standard in the group stages

Yep, not a shadow of their former underrated, dark horse selves.

Not sure about them defensively, think it would be a goal fest.

With England’s snail pace transition, I’m not so sure!

What the fuck? Did he just miss an open goal and kick the floor, then a penalty was given and VAR didn't intervene? I still don't follow.

VAR is fucking useless at times. Shouldn't have even been a pen in the first place.

No coincidence that the moment English refs/officials get hold of VAR for a game it starts looking like shit again

Shouldn’t it have been retaken as keeper was off his line to save pen anyway ?

ESP CRO

Rearrange the letters to name an Argentian forward. Clue: it’s not Batistuta.

Obviously love a summer tournament but why don't they just make it 32 teams. This crap halfway house with 4 3rd place teams progressing makes the groups feel so dull. No jeopardy for anyone half decent.

Preferred it at 16 teams. Used to have some belting groups.

It probably won't be as the Italian national anthem will still be going by then.

Oh yeah 16 if for sure the best format but we all know UEFA aren't gonna take the hit money wise and return to that.

24 is just an odd number. Doesn't even save the players match time over 32. Might save a few days in tournament length but they could easily just have 4 games a day on some group stage rounds and fit them in.

8 groups 2 through is just way neater, provides a bit of jeopardy for the groups and would give an opportunity for 8 more minnows to taste tournament football.
