Shaqiri started one match, played 60 min, scored a goal. That was his only appearance until the last 10 min of this ET, where he almost scored the GOAT Euro goal and Swiss finally came alive. Then drills an unsaveable pen. No idea why you wouldn't bring him on way earlier.
Good things happen when you use a bunch of first-choice PK takers at club level.
Never in doubt.
Has any team done less to get to the semis
With all du respect to the ingerlunders ITT
France mate.

He's always had fitness problems. Did you actually see the shape of him?

Prob Portugal when they shipped
Same as it ever was? He's a very thicc boi
32 going on 33 and fitness problems, Makes sense to keep him for the end when defenders are tired and you need a goal.
France actually had the best xGD of anyone in the group stages, just can't finish for ****, especially when Mbappé is off, then dominated Belgium. Portugal performance was shyte, but they haven't really been that pathetic overall.
England winning the whole thing on pens would be the biggest reversion to the mean in sport ever.
Those were some great pens. The Toney no look one was pretty boss.
I felt violently ill when Saka was stepping up…so happy for my son.
City players absolutely stinking up this tournament.
Please don't educate the fish
I don’t really harbor any ill will towards the Brits but getting to play the softest bracket ever and struggling every step of the way is just a pitiful showing no matter how you put it. Maximum annoyance will be Turkey shipping today and England still needing last second fiascos to win
All that said they were robbed of a PK at 120’
I had to go to Turkey to see my fam cuz if I went to Iran I’d be executed. I made it out without being executed
Let’s go crescent kabobs!
Whats the difference between 18 yr old Camavinga and 21 yr old Camavinga? He's still young and might improve but it hasn't happened so far afaik.
RITS show your face and tell me i'm missing something
There isn't much of a difference, good workhorse, good defensively, but pretty sloppy considering how many fouls he makes and how often he gets carded. In his defense he's only 21, never had a set position at RM and has been competing with Kroos, Valverde, Bellingham who've been locks to start last season + Modric and Tchouameni. He did pretty well when he had to play LB, though.
Now we'll really see if he's good enough to start for RM since Kroos left and Modric is cooked. I'd give him a 7/10 for last season.
Where would Shaqiri scoring a ****ing olimpico in the dying embers of ET have ranked in the all-time great Euro goals? Surely top 5?
Funnily enough, it wouldn't have been the first time a Shaqiri scored off a corner vs. England:

Ideal scenario is Turkey winning, picking up another 11 yellow cards and having to play 3 goalkeepers for the semi
