RIP "group of death".


most German fans won't be too mad I guess. Finally getting rid of Löw is more than worth it.

You think so? I think Denmark is the favorite in this bracket.

It's been a great run Jogi Loew but it is time to move on. Team hasn't been able to break down compact opponents in years. We'll reload and be back.
So Southgate's a genius for bring compact!

You could tell this team really didnt have what it took to go all that far. Muller and Hummels were playing injured, and despite having perfectly capable replacements available the infinite wisdom of the manager elected not to use them.

I didnt have very high hopes for this squad until yesterday, once the French lost I thought that might allow an easier run-in.

Well done England.

Ugh. This side of the bracket looked inviting. Good on England. Saka looked good before he was substituted out as well, so some positive.

I mean I suspect that, after finally being basically being dragged kicking and screaming against his will, that Southgate will start Grealish going forward, and then they are overwhelming favorites to reach the final. Doesn't mean they won't botch it, as I said before losing to the Ukraine now would be the GOAT England choking moment, but I don't see it.

Two things you can always bank on from a cameraman

1. Finding a woman with big tits somewhere.
2. Finding crying children.

Such a monster. Think of the children. To be fair, I can't even be mad. I always use the Germany-Brazil 7-1 drubbing video to pep me up when I am feeling down. Does the trick every single time.

The best part is the time stamp. Those two videos are literally a 90s apart.

Yeah constantly. Especially since it was at home for them too. The best form of art.

It's the Swiss, radical neutrality is who they are. Looked like he was just content he got good value for his ticket.
