Alert: The RMBS Euro 2024 Thread - Predictions & Discussion

From the S*n article. Guess Spain would rather pay the fine.

Under-18s cannot work after 11pm on a Sunday so if the game is not over in normal time Spain would have to sub him, or face a fine of €30,000 (£25,000).

 

England have the far better team. England should win.

 

Better team but not better chemistry. Spain will make it quick work in 90.

 

I ask for one thing. To bring it home.

 

England have some great individuals, but as a team Spain have been better.

 

By a good amount too

 

Spain are the team that beat Germany, France, Italy and Croatia. They play by far the most fluid and entertaining football in the tournament.

England have had the easier run to the finals, but still couldn't reach there convincingly. They found a way to suffer and pull out the win even when things didn't look good for them. It's usually how Real Madrid wins against tougher opponents, but England did the same against easier opponents.

On paper, England have the superior starting 11 and the better squad depth. But they also have the handicap of Gareth Southgate, who insists on playing Kane and Foden when they are clearly not working for what he is trying to do. Cole Palmer has deserved to start ahead of Foden, and Southgate has used him as a supersub.

I think Spain are the favorites, and they should probably dismantle England if they get their gameplan incorrect.

Personally, I would be happier if England wins because it would be the capstone on a brilliant season for Jude Bellingham. He would be the clearcut favorite for the Ballon d'Or and he would have brought the long awaiting English fans their first major football trophy.

If Spain wins, I would be happy for Dani Carvajal, Nacho Fernandez and Joselu Mato. All veterans or key contributors to Real Madrid's success and making history.

It should be a great final. May the best team win!

 

Game should be over in normal time imho. Spain are just too good. If by some chance it isn't, then it's not a hard decision.

One of your best creative players on the field to win Euro 2024 or a small fine for a major football federation. Seems pretty obvious: First option please.

 

Greece and more recently Portugal and Italy. It's football, anything can happen. That's why we watch and love this sport.

 

Today is a huge day for Gareth Southgate. Either he chokes yet again at the final hurdle, or he gets knighted.

 

What a moronic take. Politicians lol

 

Agreed, same kind of nonsense we have been hearing about the EPL for years now as well

 

Potentially the first major trophy since 66, we’ll be banging the drum for a good few weeks if we win it.

 

Right, I am heading out now to meet up with some people to watch this. The country is buzzing.

Hope everyone enjoys the game, and good luck to anyone following either team.

 

It’s coming home or viene a casa?

 

I don't like both of these team, but i would prefer that England will win with Jude scoring the wining goal with some kind of a Screamer.

Today is the day that Kane will his first title.

 

Same, I like this English team honestly, they didn't play very well but they are not an annoying bunch like in the past. Its the Bellingham effect

 

I mean, it’s a simple minded approach to a simple issue no?

if you don’t have a dog in the fight, you find a reason to root for one of the teams. Could be that a player you like plays there; or in this case, one of their best players is one of our best players.
