There's no way on earth I'm going to keep this post updated with all the eliminations and knockout stage results, I just wanted a containment thread to enjoy the spergers getting salty about England's domination.

Ones to Watch

France are favourites but will probably surrender again
Germany.... lol
Portugal have a sexy team, but little to no strength in depth and are in the group of death (see below)
Spain are dark horses, particularly if/when they enter the knockout stages due to their defensive strengths and the unplayable Adama

Nothing especially exciting in the group stages, apart from Group F: The Group of Death (tm). Easily the most talked about qualifying group and potentially, at least one of the big boys could be going out at this stage, particularly as Hungary are a much better team than people expect and are playing some matches at home.

France look like they're primed for one their enter as favourites, everyone falls out and it ends in tears with this Giroud Mbappe beef

still fancy them to win it tho

Belgium are def one to watch because this is probably their last chance at winning something with the current group, but their first choice defence are ancient

Mr Gilhaney · « **Reply #2 on:** June 11, 2021, 05:42:45 AM »

The real dark horse is Italy. Exciting team, good chances of winning it I think. Sadly for them, Jonas Wind will lift the trophy

I haven't followed soccer since the last World Cup, i have no idea where we're even at, but i'll probably follow this one, because i miss those vibes a bit.

third place also goes through most of the groups, so something like the group of death is just the group of ZzZz

NekoFever · « **Reply #6 on:** June 11, 2021, 08:40:58 AM »

So basically whoever survives Group F is probably going to win, unless it's Portugal and some of their first-choice players get knackered.

I am looking forward to seeing England vs Scotland, though. It's been a while.

Nintex · « **Reply #7 on:** June 11, 2021, 09:17:15 AM »

Germany probably has this in the bag. They aren't holding back.

The Netherlands is lucky to beat Ukraine

We've seldom had such an easy group, but also rarely such a shitty team and coach.

defibs out and shit for like 15 min, doesnt look too good. of course players like muamba were gone for over an hour and pulled through anyway, and Denmarks best hospital is literally 2 min away from Parken. So he won't get much better chances at surviving than this.

Glad to hear Eriksen is awake and seems ok.

I'd like to see Belgium win, mainly because Greece didn't qualify and I always want to see a new winner at every major tournament.

We scratched by against Ukraine, it's going to be an interesting tourney for sure.

But we finally seem to have players who have the stamina to make it to the finals.
Opposed to high quality players that only make it through the first half of matches.

Gnabri is alright. If you think that's bad, remember that Djimi Traore won it.

Ryan Bertrand also made his CL debut in the finale against Bayern that Chelsea won... and fucking Anderson, Harry Kewell, Moreno and Lovren.

Everyone is quite surprised how well they are doing. It's also a much different team than we usually have.
Most of the players are less experienced but more down to earth and far less arrogant than our previous 'A team' with the likes of van Persie and Robben.
There was often infighting about who was selected to play and some held back because they get paid far less for these matches than at their usual clubs.

There's a lot of potential in this team and because the defense is solid the strikes can afford some mistakes but so far they had to rely on lucky breaks to win. (penalty against Austria, suspended Austrian)

Would be quite something if we win because of that.

Potato · « **Reply #52 on:** June 18, 2021, 11:27:53 AM »

I have a soft spot for Wijnaldum because of the Newcastle link. Otherwise

Nintex · « **Reply #53 on:** June 18, 2021, 12:02:08 PM »

It's funny the old guard like van Basten comment in the press: "He needs to get his head straight and learn how to defend!"

And then the new players respond like "Senpai noticed me"

"Thank you legend"

Depay is literally praying to some football god every time he ~~scores~~ that one time he hit a penalty
