It is designed to help England above all, and to a lesser extent Italy.

It is clearly designed to ******** Portugal.

It's designed to give the important games and home field advantage to England for basically the whole tournament without having to deal with the "crappy" games. Corruption at it's finest. It's like the English FA said "how can we host all of Englands games and the big money games without having to host the rest of the tournament? We just want to make big money and not actually have to worry about scheduling infrastructure and risking non sell out games. As well we just want to use Wembly." And UEFA said no problem we'll just make it look like its a "Euro for Europe" but really its a Euro for England. If it was about Europe 2 other nations would have hosted the Semis.

Unfortunately for England all the help in where the games are played and whatever initial easy draw they get will not help them get to the semi's as their team is hot overrated garbage and unlike the World Cup they will not have a golden path from group to semis.

I don't know about that, I can see it now... Our grandchildren will be indoctrinated to believe Harry Kane is at the same level or even better than Cristiano Ronaldo. We will probably lose to them in the Semi's in Wembly and they will go on to defeat a weak German side.

Yes but it's essentially a useless fact. Portugal's record from 96 to present is completely different. There's a reason why we vanished from international football for a long time.

Joe Martelo · Nov 30, 2019

The draw is on now.

BatatasFritas · Nov 30, 2019

LOL France and Germany. Group fo death. Bring it on.

ScpBoy77 · Nov 30, 2019

Group F with France and Germany lmao. What else is new

BatatasFritas · Nov 30, 2019

Craig Forrest must be jizzing in his pants.

prodigal_mind · Nov 30, 2019

The whole 4 of the best 6 third place teams going through is bullshit when there is a group like ours.

portugamerifinn · Nov 30, 2019

I have tickets to a Budapest group match...and guess which one of three Group F matchdays Portugal is NOT in Budapest...

FML.

verde-rubro · Nov 30, 2019

Oh well finish 1st or it’s 2nd you play England in the last 16

GoodDead · Nov 30, 2019

A draw blatantly rigged to get England and Belgium as far as possible.

This crap looks designed to stop Portugal's run from always making the quarters, I hope this will blow up in UEFA's face.

We beat France and Italy, got that monkey off our backs now I hope we finally get a win vs the Germans to exercise those demons.

verde-rubro · Nov 30, 2019

Finish 2nd we play england

Area 51 · Nov 30, 2019

Even if we get Hungary/Romania they will host their matches right?

You were lucky we didnt meet at the last Euro. Otherwise you would have lost like you always do. France-Germany was the actual final

Joe Martelo · Nov 30, 2019

Jorge Jesus should be named team manager to help Santos for this one.

TsN panel seemed to favor Portugal’s chances over Germany,s. I don’t know much about Germany’s current team but they are hosting and are always a tough side.

Joe Martelo · Nov 30, 2019

Anyways let’s rememeber that we can qualify as a third place side.

Probably better to play France and Germany in the group as it likely means if we advance we can’t play them again until deep into the tournament.

Interestingly, we are in Group F which is where we were in 2016.

3rd place? We are going for 1st place.

My point is, it does not matter much what position we finish in the group. As long as we qualify and win knockout matches then we can be champions again.

"always" *looks at Euro 2000, then looks at Ballack Shoving Ferreira in Euro 2008 and no call for the winning goal.

Pretty big mouth right now considering Germany were relegated from Nations league (then daddy UEFA came to bail them out) and South Korea and Mexico made fools of your title defence. Had Sweden not chickened out after going up, it would have been 3 losses.
