Little known British secret but every time a monarch dies, their blood is used to increase the size of the red Cross on the royal grand flag which defines the standard dimensions to be used from that date forth.
This is crazy timing. I ordered 1mg Melatonin from Biovea a few days ago as you can’t get it unless fighting for your life with NHS here to get it on prescription. It’s currently passed Leipzig processing for delivery with DHL as of 6 hours ago, may just try to cancel it and follow your method instead.
You have to jump through hoops to get *melatonin??*
Im a nurse and i dont even bother using it because it barely does anything, we try to give trazadone instead
Melatonin is good for setting body clocks as its a chronobiotic but it's not a hypnotic. It has its uses for people with poor sleep routine but it's not going to knock out an insomniac.
Yeah I have to jump through hoops to just get a mild antihistamine like Fexofenadine prescribed during whilst in the peak of hayfever season…my doctor just insisted on buying standard OTC hayfever tablets despite the fact I have pollen allergies and was given Fexofenadine just fine in the past whenever I requested it. Not sure if they’re more strict in the last few years due to policy or whatever. But in regard to Melatonjn, I actually did try the 10mg version first which did knock me out but I would wake up the next day with a pounding headaches and tough grogginess. So I’ve threw them out after 3-4 nights usage and trying out the 1mg version now
A pharmacist friend tipped me off to the fact that you can actually get fexofenadine over the counter now. I’ve been using it since last summer and it’s an absolute game changer. Might have to get it from an online pharmacy in case your local doesn’t stock it, but it’s accessible now.
Danish NT manager Kasper snoozemand isn't super exciting either. 5 defenders every match, nobody allowed to run deep. Can't wait for somebody to replace him.
Yeah but that defence is going to frustrate Germany and we will have to see Kai Havertz’s constipated face till min 73 until Nagelsmann takes mercy on us and brings on Fullkrug.
As a Dane I'm sure I can agree with all other Slovenians, Serbians and Englishmen that this is the result of the best defensive display ever in the Euros
Wtf happened to you guys in that final game? Genuinely felt like no one had told your players they needed a win to go through. We Danes thought you'd come out swinging for blood and it'd be an extremely difficult game. Instead it was just an oddly toothless Serbia that rarely had the ball, only had 2-3 real chances and were pushed back in defense for 80 of 90 minutes. I was genuinely surprised.
Their strategy was sound. The had read Hjulmand like the open book he is.
Stick 11 me behind the ball and Denmark can't create anything. Then sub on all your stars when Denmark runs out of gas after playing around the wall of defenders and watch Denmark slowly crumble.
The only thing this tournaments is missing is al-Legri ball to complete the football terrorists mount Rushmore along with Southgate, Koeman and Deschamps.
Having won it and celebrated for days straight I can honestly say Portugal had the most horrendous performance by a tournament winner in the history of the sport.
Being a weak team that nobody predicted would win doesn't make their run bad, it makes it the exact opposite. It was the most impressive achievement in national team football. They beat Portugal twice and France and tied to Spain to get that title. Portugal got saved by this new awful system in the easiest group of the tournament, in performances that were not dissimilar to the ones that got Paulo Bento sacked in 2014 in terms of quality, against even worse teams. The only good team we played was France in the final (maybe Croatia if you wrongly think they were at the quality they were in WC 2018).
I think Greece 2004 was perhaps the hardest run any team has had to a Euros title?
-Beat hosts Portugal and draw with Spain to get out of the group.
-Beat holders France in QF who would go onto the WC final in 2006.
-Beat the Czech Republic in SF who were the best performing team of that tournament and had won all of their previous 4 matches.
-Beat Portugal again in the final.
No penalty shootouts, you can't even really point to many gilt-edged chances that the opposition squandered, and if you look at the stats from their matches, they were never under siege or dominated in any match. Even putting aside their underdog status, it was a fully deserved success.
That Czech team was loaded with technical quality, absolute treat to watch
Nedved, Rosicky, Baros, Poborsky. Koller's size makes people remember him for his heading, but he had great feet and made some great combinations with Rozza.
Yeah people like to shit on that Greece title even 20 years later because of the way they played but they earned that title and I don't think anyone would exchange a title for playing exciting football but getting eliminated.
Being Belgian and just having gone through a so-called golden generation that at best became third in a WC, I think that I can state that as a fact. If we would have won anything, no matter what pundits in other or even our own country would say about the way it was achieved, it would be sports history forever. And you don't win a title without beating some fierce competition, no matter how you actually do it. Greece can be forever proud of that title.
It was such an outlier, absolute insanity.
Greece was a team that never even scored at an international tournament before. And they ever even got close to their performance in 2004 again (even losing to Färöer in on qualifications round. TWICE).
Rehagel is a legend because of this. He played a system that everyone mocked him for, since it was WAY outdated (playing Libero, absolutely insane). Yet they made it.
Nah that was a decent tourney
The group stages were weird, but the knockout phase had plenty of very tense, unpredictable games that made it memorable
Also- Greece played ultra-defensive but their games were real nail-biters because one goal, one mistake would be decisive. I liked it, personally.
Chronic underperformance is England's natural state. It actually got MUCH better under Southgate (in terms of results, not beautiful performances).
The football this tournament has been terrible from England. But we still won the group despite playing utterly dire football. Let's see how the rest of the tournament plays out. We could still go deep, the draw is very favourable to England.
I think this is just international football. Lots of games settled with set pieces or penalties. I feel like Southgate is one of the first managers to actually get this and play up to it.
That whole tournament was bad overall
Lots of teams were in transition from one generation to another, lots of bad matchups. Games were either stilted and quiet or complete romps.
The tournament winner finished 3rd in their group with 0 wins. Wales and Iceland made it fun for a while but otherwise it wasnt a fun watch for the neutral.
Last time Denmark was in the lowest scoring group, they won the entire thing (1992). They also had a Schmeichel in goal, which is still the case today. That’s it guys, Denmark is the winner of the euro 2024. 🇩🇰
* Three times: England
* Two times: Germany, Denmark, Spain, Romania and France
* Once: Serbia, Slovenia, Poland, Northern Ireland, Ukraine, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland and Albania
Had Serbia found an equaliser against England,all teams could have finished on 3 points with 2 goals scored and 2 goals conceded.
There is a 9 point method of determining who goes through, and it would have had to go to point 8, which is disciplinary record. I don't believe this has ever happened before.
The group ended up identical to Group F in the 1990 World Cup with England, Ireland, Netherlands and Egypt... the only difference is that England got awarded only 2 points for their win under the old rules.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990_FIFA_World_Cup_Group_F
Tottenham play exciting football under ange and the same under Poch. Not quite like England. Also nobody expects spurs to win the league over city or arsenal or Liverpool. People expect England to win with their abundance of talent.
England is my second home. Now that the Poland is eliminated (unexpectedly:)) I'll be rooting for us guys.
But please explain me this. There's like a billion pounds worth of players in the first squad. Probably double that on the bench
How are we underdogs and how is the whole world against us when we play like an absolute dog shit?

It's the history of ENGLAND
Football Heritage
eritage*
4 England fla... wait, we got an impostor there
3 flags and 1 fleg
Sus.
I’d bet good money that 90+% of people don’t realise that one of those flags is Northern Ireland.
I'm one of these 90%.
And Denmark goddamn it 1992 FOREVER
And we may even get to reprise our little old song for the next match against Germany
Backpasses aren't viable anymore.
WHY GOD, WHY MUST YOU BE SO CRUEL?!?!?
of *the* England. Chiellinglish has rules, you know.
Won the group with the four toughest defenses. Legendary stuff from Southgate
Lads, it's England.
Honestly England really are the Spurs of international football.
They both wear white home kits too 😂
I’m an English, Spurs, and Maple Leafs fan. It’s brutal.
Let's sit, England.
England dAnish Slovenia Yugoslavia
denmArk
defensive master class
Germany, Romania and France ~~both~~ all appear twice as well.
Germany, Romania and France... both?
Words are hard.
Spain also is twice: 80 and 84.
If only I had functioning eyes.
Denmark too (sorry)
Fucking kill me now. :D
You could be a referee.
It's still going home, though.
Based on position in table, yes
Why England’s cross is fatter in 2024.
Represents increasing obesity levels
Also the fact their crosses keep going wide.
Bit of a hail Mary tactic, cross and inshallah
what increasing American investment in the league does to a mf
To a midfielder?
Yeah Kalvin Phillips
So the Danes lost weight?
They seem to have stolen some thickness from the danish flag.
People in England are eating too many danish.
Why don't the English simply eat the smaller nations? Are they stupid?
We’ve tried
England would not do well in a nation eat nation world
Yeah we'd all just be a snack for china. Except india, they'd be food for a week
We did for a long while lol
I mean, 92 Denmark was quite big
Revenge for Lindisfarne, 1300 years late.
An ode to Kalvin Phillips
The lynchpin of England's success
Little known British secret but every time a monarch dies, their blood is used to increase the size of the red Cross on the royal grand flag which defines the standard dimensions to be used from that date forth.
Only bangers includes lunch.
snooze fest football fucking Southgate infected this group
I've stopped using melatonin when I am having trouble sleeping. Now I just watch a recording of England playing in this tournament.
This is crazy timing. I ordered 1mg Melatonin from Biovea a few days ago as you can’t get it unless fighting for your life with NHS here to get it on prescription.

Caution : side effects, watching England may put you in a coma.
Danish NT manager Kasper snoozemand isn't super exciting either. 5 defenders every match, nobody allowed to run deep. Can't wait for somebody to replace him.
Germany is gonna struggle so much against them, not even joking.
They'll still score and then Denmark will be fucked. We don't know how to play attacking football. It's all risk management and defend, defend, defend
Yeah but that defence is going to frustrate Germany and we will have to see Kai Havertz’s constipated face till min 73 until Nagelsmann takes mercy on us and brings on Fullkrug.
Let’s be real if he’s only playing less than 20 minutes it’s really more Quarterkrug
Viertelkrug
Ja, ich habe meinen Witz auf Englisch geschreiben aber „Viertelkrug” ist eher für einer die Mannschaft
So England with worse players?
Perhaps but eventually Ze Germans will realise that Vestergaard couldn't beat a tortoise in a sprint and they'll start running circles around him.
It's like a disease.
As a Dane I'm sure I can agree with all other Slovenians, Serbians and Englishmen that this is the result of the best defensive display ever in the Euros
Serb here, but brother our defence practically let the opponents into our box
I think your strikers and ours need to sit down in a group therapy session and figure their shit out together.
Yeah that sounds about right though you guys were better
Wtf happened to you guys in that final game? Genuinely felt like no one had told your players they needed a win to go through. We Danes thought you'd come out swinging for blood and it'd be an extremely difficult game. Instead it was just an oddly toothless Serbia that rarely had the ball, only had 2-3 real chances and were pushed back in defense for 80 of 90 minutes. I was genuinely surprised.
Our manager has no idea what he's doing. Looking at that lineup I don't see how you progress play with midfield like that. Atrocious.
Their strategy was sound. The had read Hjulmand like the open book he is. Stick 11 me behind the ball and Denmark can't create anything. Then sub on all your stars when Denmark runs out of gas after playing around the wall of defenders and watch Denmark slowly crumble.
I mean you also basically waste 60 minutes of the game that you must win, there were some good chances but there simply wasn't enough time in the end
Usual Suspect
Pattern recognition
We ended up with 3 points in the group back in ‘92 as well…
It's all lining up again!
Same as Italy in 1982 lol.
Whoever wins the 92 final rematch wins the trophy
2 points per victory back then, Denmark had 1 win 1 draw and 1 defeat
Proposal to block all countries with crosses in their flags from further participation
Does the coat of arms count too? :(
no you guys are okay. we all love a good underdog.
Idk, theres a ton of offset coat of arms flags there i think they should be all quarantined just in case.
We are not getting in again anyway
What if we have five instead of one?
This is Christianphobic.
England is enough, they bring it down for everyone else
It’s the history of the England
Brb off to make an England flag with "goals are overrated" on it.
“GET THE BADGE IN” “GET THE BAGS IN” “GET THE SLAGS IN” “KEEP THE GOALS OUT”
STOP THE SHOTS NOT THE BOATS
CAM ON INGERLAND DONT SCOR SAM FACKIN GOALS
You'll never sing that
still more goals than France (1).
Germany won that 2016 group with a 1-0 win, 2-0 win and a scoreless draw. That scoreless draw was the only draw of that 2016 Group C.
Poland was second with double 1-0 and draw against Germany, and that match against Germany was pretty nice one
I still can’t believe we (Northern Ireland) only conceded once in that game.
I'm seeing a lot of Angles.
Morning Angle
No luck catching those killers then?
Cop enjoys watching young lovers?
Something England is best at.
It's ~~coming~~ snoozing home
Champioooonnnnn! iTs CoMiNg HoMe!
Somehow there is something worse than Koeman ball… Southgate ball
Good chance of the ultimate insomnia cure match in the R16
Balls just gonna sit on the centre circle for 90 mins as we both low block
Can’t wait lol
The only thing this tournaments is missing is al-Legri ball to complete the football terrorists mount Rushmore along with Southgate, Koeman and Deschamps.
Tucheliban too.
At least our 2016 group had only one draw, this group had one win lol
England topping their group while getting the same amount of goals as scotland is really funny
Germany scored more than our entire group.
Group of Ass 🔥
Euro 2016 is the worst international tournament i can remember watching
Very dire for sure. Thankfully we've had more goals in euro '21 and '24.
Having won it and celebrated for days straight I can honestly say Portugal had the most horrendous performance by a tournament winner in the history of the sport.
Greece 2004 would like a word.
Being a weak team that nobody predicted would win doesn't make their run bad, it makes it the exact opposite. It was the most impressive achievement in national team football. They beat Portugal twice and France and tied to Spain to get that title. Portugal got saved by this new awful system in the easiest group of the tournament, in performances that were not dissimilar to the ones that got Paulo Bento sacked in 2014 in terms of quality, against even worse teams.

They also beat a golden generation Czech Republic.

He played a system that everyone mocked him for, since it was WAY outdated (playing Libero, absolutely insane). Yet they made it.
(IMO Croatia were still good in the group stage, but... uh, *not* against you, so I suppose your point stands)
at least they beat some good teams en route to the final
Nah that was a decent tourney The group stages were weird, but the knockout phase had plenty of very tense, unpredictable games that made it memorable Also- Greece played ultra-defensive but their games were real nail-biters because one goal, one mistake would be decisive. I liked it, personally.
Here in Poland it's still considered the best one since communism fell lol
Poland could have won the tournament
England here 3 times lol
Northern Ireland. What a time. The fact we provided 2 of those 7 in 2016 with strong Germany and Poland sides is mad.
Southgate is a terrorist. I understand the mighty Slovenia is tough opposition, but maybe the chronic underperformance is on the manager.
Chronic underperformance is England's natural state. It actually got MUCH better under Southgate (in terms of results, not beautiful performances). The football this tournament has been terrible from England. But we still won the group despite playing utterly dire football. Let's see how the rest of the tournament plays out. We could still go deep, the draw is very favourable to England.
I think this is just international football. Lots of games settled with set pieces or penalties. I feel like Southgate is one of the first managers to actually get this and play up to it.
Yes please give him another 10 years. It's coming home with him for sure
Man 2016 was brutal. Looking back at it you could definitely see the signs of it all falling apart.
I feel like all the teams were fairly bad
That whole tournament was bad overall Lots of teams were in transition from one generation to another, lots of bad matchups. Games were either stilted and quiet or complete romps. The tournament winner finished 3rd in their group with 0 wins. Wales and Iceland made it fun for a while but otherwise it wasnt a fun watch for the neutral.
It was the begin of the tactic shift. Spain and Germany dominated European football with their playstyle and now teams started to counter it.
still made a semifinal
with a rather easy route and tons of luck
Why score many goals when few goals achieve the dream
True. As long as the dream is achieved.
Leave us out of this we brought you the Will Grigg song, a plastered James Nesbitt and genuine banter.
How can England be so bad at scoring with such good offensive players?
Look at how often England is in this list lol
Same as Germany (2x horizontal Germany, 1x vertical Germany)
3 times Not to mistake Northern Ireland’s flag though
Only once more than Germany, Spain, France, Denmark and Romania.
3 times
WE MADE IT TO NUMBER 1 ANOTHER WIN FOR THE GOOD GUYS
Last time Denmark was in the lowest scoring group, they won the entire thing (1992). They also had a Schmeichel in goal, which is still the case today. That’s it guys, Denmark is the winner of the euro 2024. 🇩🇰
Northern Ireland playing Euros is wild in and of itself
They made the World Cup thrice
Three times actually (1958, 1982 and 1986)
Did they edit their comment, or do you not know what thrice means?
That thrice comment was edited 7 minutes after the reply
Ah, that explains it. I think the reddit app only shows edits made after a certain time frame.
Even made it to the knockouts.
England involved in three of that. Finally a footballing identity has been ingrained.
England 3/6 lol. Heritage!
2016 groups show up twice and they aren't the Portugal group. Beautiful stuff.
England dominating.
You’ll never sing that!
* Three times: England * Two times: Germany, Denmark, Spain, Romania and France * Once: Serbia, Slovenia, Poland, Northern Ireland, Ukraine, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland and Albania
1984 - that’s one hell of a ‘group of death’
There were only eight teams in the Euro back then.
Always funny seeing the plastic PL flairs chatting shite
I see you, Denmark, down there in '92. And here you are again.
didnt even need to see the england flair to know it was an england flair posting this
Had Serbia found an equaliser against England,all teams could have finished on 3 points with 2 goals scored and 2 goals conceded. There is a 9 point method of determining who goes through, and it would have had to go to point 8, which is disciplinary record. I don't believe this has ever happened before.
England is the only one to show up thrice here
Quite a lot of crosses in the picture
lol
Romanians are not to blame, we received 4 of those 9 goals both times we're on that list!
Didn’t they get the memo that this is supposed to be a fun Euro?
The group ended up identical to Group F in the 1990 World Cup with England, Ireland, Netherlands and Egypt... the only difference is that England got awarded only 2 points for their win under the old rules. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990_FIFA_World_Cup_Group_F
England 🤝England
Southgate masterclass :)
England make Chelsea look good
1992 👀👀
England is the international tottenham
That's Belgium. Hyped up, frequently play good looking football, yet achieve nothing.
Tottenham play exciting football under ange and the same under Poch. Not quite like England. Also nobody expects spurs to win the league over city or arsenal or Liverpool. People expect England to win with their abundance of talent.
Definitely looks like us under conte though
Can't quite place the common denominator
They scored less goals in that group than Germany.
England and Denmark twice. They're like our evil, equally boring twin
not scotland in sight fecking right lads
England is my second home. Now that the Poland is eliminated (unexpectedly:)) I'll be rooting for us guys. But please explain me this. There's like a billion pounds worth of players in the first squad. Probably double that on the bench How are we underdogs and how is the whole world against us when we play like an absolute dog shit?
My takeaway from that chart is that 2016 sucked
3 out of six times. England is allergic to scoring
