* Official Euro 2021 thread *
 

Some things just need an "official" thread :winkwink:

Things get under with the first game tomorrow night. Turkey vs Italy :)


Not holding out much hope for Scotland but i hope we do ok in the group stage. Hoping for a good few weeks of football anyway. Nice to see some fans back aswell. Only 12,000 of a crowd at our home games (not sure about other countries).....but it sure beats no fans at all because watching that season that just passed was soulless. Couldn't imagine the Euros having no fans.


Who are you hoping wins it all ??




I think France have the best squad. I expect them to go all the way... :2 cents:

Group stage listings: :thumbsup

Group F is a proper bastard, that's three of the four usual semi finalists.

Saturday 22:00
Russia & Belgium

After some years without International soccer, Holland is back.
If we are lucky we make it to the next round.

Yup. One of the 3 gotta go !! :BangBang:

tbh don't really care who wins, just enjoy the play. my TV gathers dust in a corner of my closet but I watch ManU and Barca at a local joint and they'll def be streaming Euro

just hope Rashford is fit enough to start for England, even if not the in the first match. I love watching him play, almost as much as I admire his character

:2 cents::2 cents:

@McD, how do think Scotland will do?

This was due to be 60 years since the first Euros, which has two moderately interesting facts about France.

1. They were the hosts, but came last.
2. They're the only country from that tournament that still exists.

As for who will win this, Portugal.

My bet goes for Germany ..They are very strong and the right time to be Champions

Nil points:1orglaugh





I'm not even kidding :helpme

Group F is awesome :thumbsup

Scotland need to beat the Czechs on Monday or its over imo. Im just glad we are there for a change. Been waiting to see Scotland at the finals since 1998. France do have the best team and id say Portugal will not get out of group F. Hoping Belgium finally live up to the hype and do well. With players like Hazard, De Bruyne and Lukkaku they should be in with a real shot at winning it

Final: Portugal vs England

Group stage:

England vs Scotland

France vs Germany

should be intreresting

Patios are finally opening today here, just in time for the euros! Will be visiting my local pub to watch some games with their outdoor Tvs!

Yup! Failure to beat the Czechs on Monday and i think our stay will be short lived. But aye overall it's just good to be back on the big stage. Even if it's strange that we have 2 games at Hampden (Glasgow) and 1 down in London so we aren't even leaving the UK shores :1orglaugh

Hmmmm. I should have made this a contest thread...

:thumbsup




We can finally drink indoors at bars now (restrictions of course) but yeah we obviously don't get the weather here to simply enjoy the outdoor beer gardens so it's good to have the choice at least weather pending...

Here in CZ barely anyone is interested in football, only hockey counts. And nobody expects anything from the team.

Germany - I really don't know at the moment - from failing in the first round to winning the championship - everything is possible.

And I hope the Scots beat England.

the three can go through, they could all get 5 points and go through as best placed third placed team.

England will have to beat France and probably Spain to get there, cant see that.

It'll be a great game, I'll go 2-2 with 2 redcards.

True. Slim but yeah still possible...

You must be living in different CZ. Oh wait, you do :1orglaugh

I was just outside - i saw one CZ flag in someones window - there are no public displays, I'd probably have to go to some sports bar.

There are no visible signs throughout the city that the championship is happening

so yeah, maybe it's different in Prague, here nobody cares

My bet is for... FRANCE champion

Here we go....May the games begin !! :thumbsup

I got Finland and Russia in the drawer. Thanks guys.

Italy looked strong there. 3 - 0 winners over Turkey. All 2nd half goals. Slow start to the game but Italy definitely showed like they mean business here !!


Onwards to tomorrow's 3 games... :)

I got bored and tuned it over to the amazing tennis match between Nadal & Djokovic. Now that was different level

Epic battle and one of the best matches I've ever seen

The bar has been raised again imo. I think if they had not cancelled the 11pm curfew they would have had riots on their hands. Shows the hell you need to go through to beat Rafa on clay. Anyway back to football lol

Today's matches: :)



Wales vs Switzerland

Denmark vs Finland

Belgium vs Russia

Who should I put my money on today? I had a nice win yesterday on the over for Italy

Yeah won a few £££ on Italy aswell.

Today i'm thinking Switzerland, Denmark and probably Belgium although just noticed it's in Russia so can see that one being a draw maybe...

Player of Danmark just collapsed on the field. Looks very serious and the game has stopped. Reanimation on the field. Don't know yet if he just got the vaccine.

Denmark player Eriksen collapses on the pitch just before half time and the game is obviously suspended.


Truly horrific scenes. Hope he pulls through :(

There is hope.

Denmark vs Finland resumes in 10mins from now.

Hospital confirm Eriksen is in "stable" condition.

But the most important question after "how are you?", "did you get the vaccine and when?"

Or are the fabricating a press relase cause if he had the vaccine short before, governments wouldn't like that to come out.

I think Ukrain will take the Cup home.
But i don't know who will win it.

you truly are a piece of shit. just wanted to mention that. you are a "mod" (haha) - do us a favor and delete your political agenda crap and piss off

it really has become pointless coming to the board in total, cant even avoid your bullshit outside the political forum

I know you don't care about people. But we care about our soccer players who just had a shot. And family members that had a shot. So what is going on. Isn't this some journalist has to ask? Just like they should ask more about some lab in wuhan..

And very suspicious it takes so long. The world wants a simple answer and is wating for it. Except 1 person.

Wait...........what ??

Too badfor Denmark. Eriksen is a great players

Thanks for the advice. I took Belgium :thumbsup

What bout today's games???

England vs Croatia - could go anywhere but will pick Croatia

Austria vs North Macedonia - Austria

Netherlands vs Ukraine - tie

You have more faith in Croatia then i do :1orglaugh

Its simple for me, Croatia has better players :upsidedow
