Euro 2021 Thread

Really looking forward to the game tonight, England should be too strong for Scotland. Who knows though!

Anyone collecting the stickers? Have a load of swaps if anyone is!!

 

[weasel]

How's everyone enjoying the Euros then? I'm pretty pleased with the entertainment so far, Italy look like they're up for it and could go all the way IMO. France will take some stopping. Looking forward to England v Scotland. I feel a bit for Denmark, not sure they would have lost to Finland in normal times.

Not seen much of them TBH, the games are normally on the background but two kids and a small flat mean I barely get to see any of it.

Fingers crossed for a nice 8-0 Scotland win tonight! :wink: :lol:

 

[theforceuk]

Ha Ha 8-0 would be funny either way! Here go hold onto your dentist chair!

 

[edd_jedi]

Well that was a yawn fest :lol:

 

[theforceuk]

Just so poor from England, the quality in that team is clear, full of Man City and Chelsea players and they can't even produce more shots on target than Scotland. Absolute joke and if we don't get past the last 16 Southgate should be sacked. Not that it will make any difference as the FA will just get another yes man in. If that was a Premier League game it would be Man City v Brighton, what a joke England are.

 

[DarthHamblin]

It was poor, but I think he set it up to be a bit cautious. Anyway that was our toughest game out the way. From here on its plain sailing guys . The talent is obvious in the squad but I feel he's still trying to find his best team and who plays with who. Anyway we dident lose last night and bring on the Czechs and then hopefully Germany in the next round, slightly easier grudge match . England

 

[weasel]

Well that was a yawn fest :lol:

Yup. Far from a classic. A draw suited both sides though cos of the daft 3rd place getting through so zero incentive for either team to risk it by pushing on.

One thing that has occurred to me is how well VAR has worked so far. In the PL there seems to be a shocker every other game, but so far in the Euros they have used it brilliantly. Quick decisions and more importantly CORRECT decisions. Bar a stupidly soft pen given to Czech Republic against Croatia/Lovern (how can you jump without using your arms?) every decision has been spot on. The PL refs should be watching and learning. But we all know they won't, and next season we will be back to shocker after shocker.
It's ALMOST as if PL refs are ****…..

 

[theforceuk]

I saw the replay of that penalty decision, I couldn't work out who had fouled who! Shocker.

 

[DarthHamblin]

I actually thought it was strange giving it to, the only reason I could think of was his arms were above his own head .

 

[weasel]

Yup, but how do you jump without using your arms for leverage!?

Ps, well done Wales. VERY harsh red, was a yellow for me, but great effort to get through. I heard they probably play Russia or Finland in the second round. That's as close to a "bye" as you are going to get in the Euro's.

With difficulty but yeah Wales done well. Now let's hope we come runners up in the group

So who else will be cheering on the Czech Republic tonight? If we beat them we get either France, Germany or Portugal in the next round :?

I was pretty much cheering for Scotland last time as st least they looked like they wanted a result :lol:

The game tonight (England) will I suspect be dull affair, both teams are through and then on top of that neither really wants to win either…all the makings of a dull game.
Now the Scotland game could be a great one.

 

[weasel]

Hard luck Scotland. That was the only game of theirs I got to see, but they just looked a class below Croatia. No shame in that though.

 

[edd_jedi]

Yeah it was a tough group, Scotland came where you would expect them to compared to the other teams. Don't worry Scots, England will be out in the next round

 

[weasel]

Yeah, they were the 3rd weakest side in the tournament. They did ok, they didn't disgrace themselves at all, but just a little class or a few more top level players when push came to shove.

 

[theforceuk]

Germany it is then for England, should be a good game as Germany will have a go for sure.

That's who we wanted perfect

 

[weasel]

Germany have been pish twice and good once. Which is once more than England have been good. Germany came third in a good group (on paper) and England won a poor group (on paper). The winner players Sweden or Ukraine, which is a gimme at this level.

Cue a dull draw and the German's to win on pens then!

 

[theforceuk]

Germans will take us apart and expose how inept Southgate is and I really, really, really hope I'm wrong! lol

Think Germany came runners up in there group and we will beat them this time

 

[stu70]

Glad Portugal went out, couldn't have happened to nicer bunch of players, the walking bell end Ronaldo and the monumental **** Pepe. Bye.

You're right. They did come second.

Pepe is such a nice chat, I dunno why you, or anyone, could possibly hate him.
Everyone knows my opinion on Ronaldo :wink:

Yeah pepes a idiot, but he does make it quite exciting, that was one of the best moments when he cleaned out hazard after the whistle

 

[weasel]

I was surprised he stayed on. I was half expecting the whole game to descend into a free for all. Kinda disappointed it didn't. Always great viewing when two teams lose it and just try and kill each other.

I genuinely hope your correct, whoever wins couldn't ask for an easier route to the final. I love you optimism on England would love some of that myself I just can't see it.

I believe every time mate hopefully Southgate will go with the right team instead of the easy options.

Two stonking matches tonight and the Swiss looked like deserved winners in the end
