So that Dirk and myself have a place to air our thoughts for all to see. We're better (France are better than Germany that is not Dirk and me, I wouldn't dare make such an assumption).

The ref?

Ok bruv. So, what do you want?

Had a think just after Mbappé twisted his shoulder and thought we could line-up like this: Areola - Kehrer, Silva, Marquinhos - Meunier, Verratti, Rabiot, Bernat - Di Maria, Cavani, Draxler. Not that bad is it?

Not wanting to take this off topic but if Löw resigns who do you appoint? Thought his line-up vs Holland had promise and that he's finally realised that he needs a complete overhaul from the old guard.

I'm positive they don't have cameras in forests or the countryside. Why don't they meet up there? That's how they do it in Eastern Europe I'm told.

Well I was expecting a good game from start to finish last night but Deutschland were just better and Holland not good enough to take anything from it. I liked the 343 Löw played with the front 3 of Werner (great goal), Gnabry and Sané. Without Reus and Draxler, that side looked seriously good...

Still not sure how the qualifiers are organised after this. Are the final four directly through to the Euros? What kind of advantage do they have by playing these 2 added games in June? Still at a loss on this?

Good game. Croatia showing they still have flair although the intensity they showed was far weaker than at the World Cup. England showing they're not great at scoring from open play but very efficient from set-piece.

I don't mind. Since my club has been taken over by qataris I just watch games and want the team that deserves it the most to win. For example, I wish Holland would have beaten us 0-5 last night instead of 0-2.

Won't the Dutch top the group with a draw?

Lost in Rotterdam 0-2 tonight. We were absolutely awful from start to finish. Koeman has done a fabulous job rebuilding the side. They should have won 5-0, Lloris made 9 saves! We are complacent, sloppy and self-suficient. Yes, we're definitely world champions!

Defence isn't the problem imo. The problem is they signed very few attacking-minded players and they haven't worked. Mitrovic, Schürrle or Vietto have been woeful and can't be trusted to score goals. Simple as. The change of manager is not going to change anything. They need to sign quality...

Turned it off at half-time. Mind-numbingly boring.

We're gonna need to see that link Gassy...

Ironically, the Brits don't seem to have this saying us French share with the Germans (jamais deux sans trois) meaning that if something occured twice then it has to happen a 3rd time. They use 3rd time lucky which implies that the 3rd occurance is a different one than the previous two...

I do feel like Palace boy in the respect that I want to scream my dismay as the inactivity of a massive Prem game struggles to get 2 pages. Never would have happened on TFF. When I joined it was great fun. You had the old guard (mainly LF), great banter between Spear and Herms and us European...

Think the defence is not that bad. They could get a few points every other week if they had some decency upfront but they just don't. The rest of the bottom half does.

I can finally write about our game at Napoli which ended 1-1. Thought Tuchel did well to start with a 352 (yes, everyone's saying it's a 343 but I won't have it Di Maria was playing closer to Verratti and Draxler than Mbappé and Neymar all game long so it wasn't a 343!) as it worked quite well...

Hamburg beat Köln in the big Buli Zwei game tonight. Dirk'll be happy.
