I was unable to watch the France-Germany game but media report and coach/players themselves acknowledged that France had been outclassed by a very good German team.
Time will tell whether it is a wake-up call or a deeper issue (quality of players, mental issue as there has been no reaction) but this defeat shocked a lot.
Next friendly for France, Tuesday at home vs Chile

I read somewhere that on the Armenian jersey they put the Kosovar map on the Kosovar flag upside down.

I sympathise with Serbia too on this issue but this is too much.

In the Armenia-Kosovo friendly, the Armenian shirt had the Kosovo flag upside down. In 2nd half they covered the flag with red tape. I didn't get any statement if this was done on purpose or some mistake by supplier (Macron).

Mistake by the supplier, that's rich. It is no state secret that Armenia doesn't support the existence of the state of Kosovo.
In Game of Thrones conquerors always say to the defeated side: "Bend the knee and you''ll live". As if they weren't alive right now.

I'm smarter than it shows. Just don't want to discourage anyone.

Tomorrow it is Hungary the Kosovars are facing. The Hungarian NT is so popular nowadays that almost all tickets get scooped up within a couple of hours. Full house against Turkey, full house against Kosovo (unless I'm mistaken).

What really bugs me is that UEFA only allowed 10.000 Hungarians to get into the Euro matches. That's ridiculous. It's like they don't even want fans in, just neutral viewers mostly. There will be 20.000 fans in 50.000 capacity stadiums.

Maguire is out of the Belgium match, Walker won't be coming back either. So, who's going to have the armband tomorrow?

The answer is Declan Rice. It will also be his 50th cap. :smile1:

How Sweden with so many excellent players managed to miss out on the Euros positively mistifies me.

All the talk about that cross on the back of the England kit, our away kit is atrocious! Totally unrecognizable as an England kit, some drab grey shit!
