Reflections on the Euros

[Drico]

Considering their striker was Morata that, thats not surprising.
Lack of class striker was their biggest weakness, if they had someone like David Villa of few years ago that would be a spectacle.

Spain and Germany were only big teams that played attacking football, everyone else defense first.

England played like “a small team” in the final. The Germans had a proper go. That game felt like a final at the time. In hindsight, it was.

It had two classic matches on the same day: Spain-Croatia and Switzerland-France. This one had none.

Granted, everything about the last one was under a Covid cloud and felt utterly artificial.

Just felt more enjoyable overall regardless of the number of classic matches

I suppose it was more enjoyable for England fans. The current England side is largely joyless.

But for me, the Covid tournament is best forgotten - like a lot of stuff around that freaky time. Not that this one was any great shakes, mind.

I didn’t mean from an England perspective. I just found the games to be more enjoyable last time. I did miss a lot of the good games in the group stage this time around. Maybe that’s why.

Yeah, you're probably right. There was Denmark-Belgium, Germany-Portugal, Denmark-Russia, Germany-Hungary, etc in the group stage the last time. All excellent, entertaining games.
