Euro: Group E: Spain vs. Poland, 6/19/2021

[Eisen]

It seems like Sweden and Italy do. And Ukraine but there are none here. But that's it.

Deschamps perhaps as well.

Does any fan like their team's coach? ^^

I'll be happy with Flick once he's in charge...though I'll still gripe about specific decisions from time to time.

Two tournaments without super positive results, and he’ll be a stoodge too.

Success is never because of the coach, failure is always his fault.

Probably, but I can only speak for myself & I value process over short-term results.

That's why I started to get concerned by jogi before the s*** show against Italy in 2012 and didn't suddenly fall in love with him after 2014. He was an upgrade on Klinsmann who clear limitations given the way we've had to play since 2010; who is now 2-3 cycles past his expiration date.

You just wait. Flick was Löw's assistant.^^ As long as it's not Loddar.....

Jogi was better than Klinsi after having been his assistant, so...


I rate the work he did with Bayern a lot.

Often it's the players he needs to work with. Most upgrades are marginal. No coach leaves a star on the bench or at home. And now I have to hide, but Jogi is right, often you don't need to change the team to change the tactical direction. If only he would drop Kroos...

Max Kruse's NT career begs to disagree

Touché. Kruse missing in 2014 was indeed baffling. I should have hedged that. Was that before or after his dick issues?

Oh he's always been a dick

Great result considering the circumstances. I was laughing so hard at seeing Szczęsny saving some of those shots today looking like he was doing yoga. All we have to do is beat Sweden, but that's a tough task since they've looked like the most discipline in this tourney thus far.

Lol at Espana and actually playing Morata and Moreno. These blokes seriously play like they're high on valium or something every game and are just a waste of space out there. Additionally, it blows my mind how they went through the squad selection, I get wanting to play the youth, but just an absolute scrub of a team.

That Lewandowski goal is the loudest I yelled in this tournament and I don't cheer for Poland one lick lol

It was an absolutely brilliant header, you have a right to cheer on that strike.

Deschamps perhaps as well.

I don't agree with DD on many things but I totally respect him and I think he's a good coach.

I'm relatively happy with Šilhavý. Has the team looking more interested than they have in a long time

Man spain is just horrible. cant even beat poland and sweden. i wish sweden played more offensive against spain, we would have won that game. There is no way Spain beats Slovakia.

must be hard for luginib btw, spain is terrible at ice hockey (why is he even on a ice hockey forum?) and now his beloved spain sucks in soccer too.

On paper, Poland have better players than Sweden. Poland was better against Slovakia and Spain than Sweden was. I would say its 60-40 in favor to Poland.

yes we like janne andersson. the only critic we have is that he chooses to many defensive players.

Yeah life sucks living in Barcelona, man. Never visited Malmo but Stockholm was the dullest place on earth I've ever been to. I'm Eastern European btw, that's why I'm on a hockey forum.

I'm from France and I love hockey.
Shit happens.

IIRC there's some French towns in the Alps where hockey is played and followed..Chamonix, Saint Gervais..so it's not *that* strange for a Frenchman to like the hockey sur glace.

Yes, but we do suck at hockey.

Sweden does have Isak and Forsberg who can match Polska as we haven't really looked that offensive thus far. Defensively we've had a red card and PK kick. I think Polska can come away with the win based on one good pass to Lewandowski, but Sweden just doesn't need to make any mistakes and they could potentially break us on the counter.

Yes, but we do suck at hockey.

I am a full believer that if hockey ever gets popular in France as the third or fourth sport after football and rugby they would be very good in it. It just seems to me that it's a bit disorganised throughout the country compared to Germany.

well it depends on how you see it. france was 10-15 best in the world for a decent amount of years in hockey, so not too bad. but france seems to have declined the last years. thought france still have 3 nhlers in texier, bellemare, roussel and very good khler in da costa. then there is french-canadians, if they where a own country would for sure be one of the top nations in hockey.
