In case y'all didn't know. It's coming home. [emoji23] Second team I'd support is Portugal/Belgium. Spain and Enrique can GTFO!
Been rooting against France since Benz got dropped, but won't mind them winning this time. Ronaldo winning another International title would be cool as well. No interest in Spain with no RM players involved.
France have the potential to win it but also to flop considerably and have another icky situation in their hands post tournament.
Love the Euros. Love the rivalry between nations and all that (as long as there is no violence). Three football matches a day? Count me in. Would love Portugal to take this one just to see the face of the Ronaldo haters. Hope Benzema has a great tournament.
Ronaldo needs 5 goals to break the international record. It is going to be difficult. Portugal plays away against Hungary and Germany. And we know about France.
Our squad has gotten quite a bit worse from 2018. We lost Rakitic, Mandzukic, Subasic and a couple other solid players. And then players who were amazing in the WC like Perisic, Vrsaljko and Rebic have gotten quite a bit worse. I don't have high hopes.
It seems strange that some countries get home court advantage playing all of their groups games in their stadiums.. First time I see this in an official National league tournament.
What is even stranger is that all the group games for a given group aren't even in the same stadium. I thought they would try to limit travel.
Turkey not putting up much of a fight thus far. Hopefully they get a little more ambitious. Italian whining always annoys me.
Turkey whole team is guarding the penalty box - not seen a better example of parking a bus before the goal
I had no clue until yesterday that’s it’s setup as such and it’s also all over Europe, traveling be damned.
Heard Italy were in pretty bad shape before Mancini took over. Just 2 losses in 33 games afterwards. Dark horse of Euro?
I can see it. Think scoring goals consistently will be the issue. They seem to be in decent shape though.
Italy is on match 27 unbeaten streak, it good to me consider how mediocre their players are. I was disappointed at them today, they got 26 shots, but 8 on target. And only 3 goals score (bar the OG). I mean seriously, 26 shots aim at the net, and only 8 on target. That pretty bad. ...... But I'm surprise they try to shoot that much, Italy has always been the team that defense. You rarely see they have 25-26 shots per game.
