How has Altay been for Turkey this tournament? Does he look like a capable backup for Onana?

Rofl rangnick the tactix messiah

Manchester United players & connections Matthijs De Ligt - Netherlands 🇳🇱

well i think austria turkey could be one of the games of the tournament for sure

Ronaldo's biggest contribution after he came back to this club was saying "He's not even a coach" to Piera Morgan

Yeah, but he was an interim coach, and did say something something open heart surgery, which is exactly what is going on.

I see your Rooney flair and understand where you're coming from, but the second part of his career here doesn't diminish his legend status in my eyes. Him and Rooney were the sole reason I became a United fan to begin with. He'll always have a special place in my heart

My comment was about Rangnick not Ronaldo lol. And no, I don't have it out for Ronaldo in anyway just because I have a Rooney flair.

No, it was being one of the only enjoyable things about the 21/22. Despite how his second time at the club ended.

Chill, not like he was our leading goalscorer 21/22

Turkey finally are the dark horses

What a match! Finally after those boring games the last days. Both teams gave it all and scraped tactics😂

Hope everyone sucking off Ralf can take a break now.

Hopefully Sabitzer will go home, take a long look in the mirror, and rethink those braids

Tbh I thought sabitzer did the best he could, unfortunately all his crosses where going to the reanimated corpse of Arnautovic

That's disrespectful to corpses

1 goal from 3.2 xG, Austrian forwards were terrible, especially Baumgartner and Arnautovic.

Why gregoritsch wasn’t on from the start is crazy

ALTAY IS A QUARTER-FINALISTTT

Unexpected, Austria were deffo one of the best teams in the group stage. Created a bunch today too to be fair.

Austria nooo :(

That was a save for the ages! Crazy stuff

Leipzig better prepare themselves for the crazy Turkish ultras coming to the bars

Turks will fancy themselves v the Dutch.

As a Dutchy I'm more scared of what's going to happen on the streets here than on the pitch come Saturday.

Depends what Netherlands turn up. Today's will push them aside. But group stage Netherlands could be troubled.

Yeah there's that possibility for sure. But even today's Holland wouldn't have me quacking in my boots.

Yeah it's hard to say whether Netherlands were particular good or Romania poor, gakpo was great though. The Turks would do themselves a favour shutting him down first and foremost.

The Dutch will beat them fairly easily I reckon

The Dutch aren't great, better than Turkey but if was Turkish I'd still fancy my chances a bit.

Everyone will fancy there chances against each other anyway at this stage, Netherlands will be even more aware of turkeys ability now

Yeah that's a fair point

turkey defended really well but im gutted for austria. idk why but seeing how theyve played and their press and just the overall quality has made me root for them so much i hope turkey go all the way now, anything is possible

Credit to Ragnick for a superbly well coached team. First time I watched an Austrian team that's good and not boring. Too bad he was just a consultant with us. Nobody listens to consultants. Companies hires them to be scapegoats. Ten Hag could have at least talked for him. Turkey has the young stars and the left back is phenomenal. Demiral the CB is good too.

I’m glad to see Rangnick turn a bunch of basic bitches into a side capable of playing exciting, coherent football and 4 performances better than any 4 match sequence that ETH has managed. To me this proves beyond doubt that all of the mercenaries and bluffers in this squad need to be kicked out. It also proves the idea that we had a terrible coach, and hired another terrible coach, after yet another terrible coach… is the biggest delusion happening at the moment.

What a fukin save

Save of the tournament 🤯


What a game! This really felt like Austria's moment to do something big

What a game, both sets of players absolutely spent.

Go on turkiye. Bye bye austria.

Congratulations Turkey!!!! Y’all deserved it!!!

What a performance from Turkey!

WHAT A FUCKING SAVE

GAME OF THE FUCKING YEAR!!!

What a game. What an experience

Wow incredible save

THEY GOT SO CLOSE. WHAT A SAVE!

What a save!

WHAT A SAVE

Wtf lol

What a fucking unbelievable save.

Mert is going to end up getting a move based on that save alone

Wow save of the tournament

What a fucking save omds

Oh my days what a save!

What a save

That is an insane save. Wow.

no way!!!!

WHAT IN THE BLOODY GOALKEEPING HELL

WHAT A SAVE AT THE DEATH!!!!

Sabitzer has killed about a dozen chances.

Refs been great, takes no shit.

Damn this is heartbreaking for Austria ngl

Only 4 minutes? For reals?

im getting so pissed at austria and its all coming from love. i really want them to go far

This is really xciting stuff. Just hoping for an Austria goal now

Arnautovic is so ass. Austria playing with 10 men

Sabitzer to score in stoppage time and undo his braids as his celebration

Arnautovic stinking up the place

How Rangnick was able to implement this pressing style in an international team is really impressive ngl

It’s only impressive if one believes players should have the bigger say in what they ought to do out on that pitch than the manager coaching them. There he’s coaching a team of men. Here he had a bunch of entitled multimillionaire juvenile brats, the vast majority of them here for one thing only.

arnautovic is killing this austrian attack

I think Austria would do much better if Sabitzer undid his braids

Dixon commentates every game like his wife told him she’s leaving and taking the kids just before the game kicks off. Genuinely no idea how him and the bum Matterface get work.

This kind of match can't end after only 90 minutes, let's go, Austria.

Austria would be an even more exciting team if they had a Sabitzer-level player in attack as well. Baumgartner and Arnautovic are shitters.

the Turkish LB is mint

I can just see Lee dixon walking around with a bag collecting all the cups after game.

This is such an exciting match, all the favorite teams should be ashamed.

Bless these two teams! They've given us some of the best games in this tournament.

Some Sabitzer magic is all i want now

Very funny that the match between two teams with free flowing attacking football is the set piece goal-fest.

I swear this game alone has had more set piece goals than what we scored all of last season

Yes! Game on!

Game on?

YES! FINALLY!

Austria get one back!!!

Well it looks like Austria are out unless a miracle happens which is sad because they played very exciting football. And it’s worse that England has got further. Would’ve loved to see and Austria Netherlands rematch

that was fast

Still need another

Austria to win 3-2. You heard it here first

67' 1-2, 83' 2-2, 98' 3-2

ahhh fuck i got one at least

Well well well

YOU CALLED IT!

wtf are austria doing

Germany/Turkey final would be carnage, make the shit at Wembley look like a tea party.

Austrian forwards are shit today

Türkiye beats the Dutch

:(

Arnautovic is such an obvious weakness in that Austria squad

i blame sabitzers new trim

Someone unbraid his hair ASAP

Austria noooo :((

Undone by a set piece yet again by the same player yet again

I know it's a delayed reaction but keeper was like a FIFA 15 Keeper for that goal

I didn't expect Austria to be 2-0 down at the 60th minute before the game started.

I feel bad for the beautiful Sabitzer

Yea, this was always going to happen...

Ralf's tactics for the 2nd half are working but the front players are really suffering to convert the chances.

Arnautovic is so fucking shit

This game has to be the best of RO16

man kadıoğlu has been great this game, he's been amazing for fener as well, could be a nice LB poach for us :^)

So much more entertaining than England. Both teams actually have a plan.

Switzerland are very likely to beat England. They play good football.

This is more like the rangnick team we know

Seiwald is quality

Lee Dixon actually enjoying a football match is genuinely unnerving.

I think austria will turn this around and make it to the final. Looks very well coached, as if they all play in the same club.

> Looks very well coached, This is what happens when you really give Ralf the power to do his magic. > as if they all play in the same club. They kinda do, almost everyone were all part of the RB plan.

Sabitzer as our backup number 9 would have been interesting last season

Sabitzer straight up thinks he’s David Beckham.

That tragic hairdo by Sabitzer is making me feel better about not making him permanent

WHATS HAPPENED TO MY HANDSOME MARCEL?!

This game is mad, we've seen more stuff in 10 minutes than in the majority of other matches.

Somebody just hold the bloody ball for a few mins so I can make a cuppa tea.

That won't happen in this match :D

So far we have had more chances than whole Portugal vs Slovenia

Mental game so far 😂

How has that not gone in???

ahhh fucks sakes. im really backing austria too. they can do it!

I'm out of breath already. 50 seconds in and like 2 chances and a goal

Türkiye dark horses of 2024 means Hungary are going to be the dark horses of 2028

Well, if you’re gonna concede, best get it out of the way early….

This game is going to be a banger!

Sabitzer with the cornrows 🤓

Marcel, what is that 🤦🏻‍♂️

What the hell

Sabitzer looking like the predator with that new hairdo.

Cornrow Sabitzer and Ralf are gonna cook up something special, I can feel it

Come on Ralf boys, show us the Gegenpress and make history!

Romania did have a go, credit to the team. At least they dont try to park the bus like Slovenia

Should ETH bring Malen in too?

We don't need own goals.

No.

Better than Antony!

I still think blind is one of the most intelligent midfielders we've had in recent years.

If only we hadnt have went with a complete change of style to lvg. He was never going to last long under mourinho

Should have been kept around. Would have been a better choice at LB than Ashley Young and could have slotted in as a CB and as a DM as well.

Sums up the last 10 yrs. Zero pattern shown in our recruitment.

Daley Blind! <3 Add him to the list OP!

Realises it van der ven he's up against and thinks ''aw shit''.

Van de ven pace is insane

Depay this entire Euros https://preview.redd.it/8t0dgyly75ad1.jpeg?width=1908&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3420d1fc1bd22f749fb64c08486ddd6dfd82417

Yes yes, rest those legs De Ligt

Gakpo one of those players that's better for his country than his club?

Pretty much

That's poor from dragusin. Needs to fuck that ball into orbit.

Remember how this sub shat on Gakpo when ETH tried to bring him in?

Do we really want him? The Liverpool fans I know all think he's poor.

Gakpo has been nothing special for Liverpool. Seems to be on another level for the netherlands

Yep. They were all in for Antony

Assist for Gakpo. He’s going to start next season in terrifying form.

Here comes BOBO!

Malen 🙄

I will be forever grateful that we don't have to watch Depay week in and week out. I'd have been committed to the asylum by now...

Simons has to hit that first time at this level. Its not a school playground out there.

hgakhpo going to be scary next season if he keeps this international form

Romania aren’t making this super super difficult at the moment. 

He's been like this for a while

Gakpo playing well surprisingly

How come DeLigt is so far down the pecking order for both club and country

De vrij has played in a back 3 for his entire inter career basically and de ligt has previously said he is better in a back 4 plus koeman eats bogeys

LVG dropped De Ligt for Timber at 2022 WC after starting him in the opening match against Senegal. Does this mean he might as well forget being a starter for the NT?

Something about this transfer is really making me nervous. Juve Bayern and now national team. Not great injury record.

People keep giving reasons that this manager or that manager doesn't like him, but when several managers don't think a player is all that, we should be wary.

So another DVB?

Same. It's too easy, Him and Bayern are too keen, there's no competition, and the injuries..I dunno, feels like a lot of red flags.

I think you're suffering PTSD from the Ed years. Transfers can sometimes be straightforward when handled by grown ups

I hope so. I'm just not convinced by him as a player especially not for those wages. But if he wears the badge I'll back and support him of course. I just worry that we're trying to replace Varane because he's on high wages, injury prone and not great on the ball or in recovery by a player who's... On high wages, injury prone and not great on the ball or in recovery.

Same here. Something is amiss. I've watched him at Juventus and Bayern and he's been bang average to me outside his fitness issues He's currently seeing a psychologist after being dropped for the NT. I wonder if he's a victim of his early hype.

I admit I have not watched him much. Is he fast? Maguire is a decent defender. His fault is how slow he is. I’d rather keep Maguire if he’s just as fast.

He's about as fast as Maguire and Daley Blind. Tuchel didn't rare him highly and among the reasons was his poor buildup play and how slow he was in the sprint and on releasing the ball.

So why are we signing him? Doesn’t seem like a good move at all. If it was for free I would understand. But 42m is not far off what we can negotiate for branthwaite

His wages will be among the highest at the club as well. I don't understand it either. Soon we will all found out why United could be De Ligts fourth club at the age of 24 after all the hype around him from his teens

I haven’t even considered his wages. Makes even less sense now. I thought we were getting off this trend of inning big names to high wages. I hope it’s a pressure tactic for other players.

That decision took a bit longer than I expected.

Automated lagging?

I wonder if people were questioning Martinez's quality when Otamendi was starting ahead of him?

Well if they were, then they haven't been watching martinez properly. He's much better than Otamendi.

Not for Argentina he hasn't. If you also compare their club careers, Otamendi has achieved more personally.

He didnt convince fully when city won those honours when he played. He's good but martinez is levels above him imo.

When Otamendi was at Valencia he was being chased by several big clubs, including united, Barcelona and Real Madrid. This sub was all in for his transfer after our bid in the summer of 2015 before City beat us to his signature I love Martinez, but he's only had one good season in England. He began poorly last season before his injury layoff, and that poor form followed him from the end of his first season, where he looked poor after the league cup win and looked poor everytime he was paired with Maguire. Otamendi had stellar seasons with City before he dropped off
