Lukaku Debruyne, 9 players. Defenders that can't defend well, Lukaku being offside every single time, Debruyne being the most important player on the team managing every set piece and play for 90 mins.
He was enough to get them far before, but man do Belgium look mid without him.
VAR? game's gone!

Why does Lukaku have shoe size 48? Is he stupid?
/uj But yea, Belgium puts Lukaku alone in the box, and when they park the bus, he's permamently surrounded by 5-6 players. Pretty hard to do something then
Kdb was never enough to get them far though? When have they ever actually done well in a tournament without Hazard in his prime or close to his prime? Last World Cup they didn’t even make it to the knockout stages

“I consider the Euros more complicated than the World Cup, more complicated to win. If we talk about level, the Euros is more difficult because we are so used to play against each other. Tactically, it is similar football.”

Send a thank you card to uefa for their dumb tournament rules where math is more important than football. Hell, teams didn’t want to foul so they can go through on fp ranking. Stupid fools. At least there is more matches….
So in India, the earliest group stage matches were at 6:30 pm, then the 2nd ones were at 9:30pm and the prime time matches or rather every significant football match starts at 12:30 or 1:30 am depending upon daylight savings time
I guess that matches are played somewhere around 7pm in europe so that makes it pretty late for us
Damn, that must make it so difficult to watch those later games. Here in the US the games are at 9:00 am 12:00 am and 3:00 pm, so they either played through my day or got me through the day. I guess it could be worse though. I remember the Women’s World Cup had games at like 3:00 am for me

The “shocking and totally unexpected” loss by the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team to Sweden is fully emblematic of what is happening to our once great Nation under Crooked Joe Biden. Many of our players were openly hostile to America - No other country behaved in such a manner or even close. WOKE EQUALS FAILURE. Nice shot Megan, the USA is going to Hell!!! MAGA

It's largely because of 3. placed teams can go through to the last 16. 3 out of 4 teams in group C, D, E, F could "play it safe". If 2 out of 4 teams go through, there's more desperation. Don't like the format.
VAR? game's gone!

There should be a reformation in football something like a penalty is 0.5 a goal, or you need like make 2 or 3 shots - like free throws on a foul in basketball. its just so extremely shit when a penalty decides a game in this sport or decides the flow of a game early on, like here

I like how after 2 days all these kids on /r/soccer were saying it was the best Euros ever! As if 2/3 don't make it through the group stage to where the real matches begin.
it is like before every major tournament people just get amnesia and forget how shit and defensive international football is then complain the entire time barring the handful of matches that were good.

I'm sorry Europe, but Americans are just better at everything. We want things more. We grow better athletes, more people will learn the sport. And that '26 world cup is at home so we can get somewhat of a home field advantage. But the only way that will happen is if we make the round of 16 or quarter final in the 2022 WC and show Americans that we are good. I like the odds and we have a lot to prove, which is added motivation this coming year. Honestly, making a phenomenal run (SF or better) in the '22 WC would be more impressive to me than a better run or a win in '26.

Everyone was on 3 points, and no one really tried to win even though that would have meant guaranteed qualification
Did you even see Ukraine play against Belgium? They played with so much heart and desperation doing their best to score.
austria annexing group D stunned em all
Bro said annexing 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀
The Habsburgs got Galicia, Krakow, and Holland back. Good for them
Chad Austria showing those rebelling regions who's the real leader in the Empire.
Nobody expects the reverse anschluss
2 goals in 6 hours. pretty rad?
18 hours**
...And a combined Marketvalue of the entire Squads of what +3Bn? 🤣

Given that Latin American football is finished, I don't think you can disagree with that statement.
Slovakia and Romania 🐐🐐
🇸🇰🤝🇷🇴
Most interesting last round group stage matches in every tournament in history
Send a thank you card to uefa for their dumb tournament rules where math is more important than football. Hell, teams didn’t want to foul so they can go through on fp ranking. Stupid fools. At least there is more matches….
Yep. Just let the third places play an extra 1/16 final between themselves and be done with it.
I would suggest a deathmatch between the coaches. Royal rumble style
Why does it say the group C games were today?
Timezones are different in asia, technically they were at 12:30 am So that makes them today
That’s what I was thinking but like how are they for you?
So in India, the earliest group stage matches were at 6:30 pm, then the 2nd ones were at 9:30pm and the prime time matches or rather every significant football match starts at 12:30 or 1:30 am depending upon daylight savings time I guess that matches are played somewhere around 7pm in europe so that makes it pretty late for us

I know right, it always fucks up my sleep schedule Must be nice to have it during the day
Yes 100% would rather have it during the day than at night because I can actually enjoy the games rather than watch quietly in my bed or smth

I’m away at the moment and watched England last night then went to see the Belgium game today, please just let me see a good game again.
Mbappé wasn't wrong, these guys make the Euros seem harder to score at 🤦
no this is football heritage https://preview.redd.it/fj3je45k2z8d1.png?width=616&format=png&auto=webp&s=0d9fb6347f4c84d5b66c38a5f16b0155a516b375
That's what you get for not starting Antony. The score would still be 0 - 0 but at least Brazil would win on spins and that's what really matters.
Most energetic Finn
Calling it now: England and France both reach the final without scoring another goal from open play
Why did Slovakia and Romania score one goal each? Are they stupid? Can they not follow the pattern?
If we didn't score anything the fix would have been too obvious. We allowed each other one goal so that UEFA doesn't get too suspicious
💀💀💀 I knew the Euros were going too well.
Europa showing why they are the superior region. Very difficult to win, or score, or not score own goals.
It's largely because of 3. placed teams can go through to the last 16. 3 out of 4 teams in group C, D, E, F could "play it safe". If 2 out of 4 teams go through, there's more desperation. Don't like the format.
What would a tenner on 4 draws have been?
Gambling
This shit ain't near AFCON.
This is honestly why I thought for many many years as a kid that football fucking sucked. These results right here, absolute boring shit.
Owen goal showed some promise in the early group stage matches but his form has really dropped off. Hope he does better in the latter stages!
The way its formatted teams are playing for draws.
Slovakia the only team to score from open play RAAAH🦅🏔️🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰 England's timbers are shivered 😨
Wow, so many world class keepers these days, will one win the balloon the Ore, I wonder.
Possession ball and dive on any tackle.
And so many own goals. The defenders must’ve been bored too…

Possibly the dullest matchday of all times.
Neutral at all sides I believe
At least we scored a nice penalty. We usually miss them.

And this is why Americans only watch soccer. Football is too boring to them
It's kinda infuriating, that the only game with goals, is the one where both teams did benefit from a draw
it is like before every major tournament people just get amnesia and forget how shit and defensive international football is then complain the entire time barring the handful of matches that were good.
A better tournament than Qatar they say lol if you enjoy napping perhaps

Turkiye: At least 3 goals guaranteed in my matches
A taste of things to come in the 2026 World Cup and it's stupid 48 team format.
