The Euros thread

[GUNBOAT]

I reckon we’ve a fair chance of getting out the group. A very decent core to the team with Roberstson, Tierney, McTominay, Mcginn and Armstrong all showing up very well in “The best league in the world”. A bit lightweight up front but still quietly confident. If England get beaten by Croatia, which isn’t that unbelievable then they will be under huge pressure against us. Canna wait. I’m tipping the Italians to win it—won their last 10(?) without even conceding or something like that.

The above is now out of date JA,i think its now unbeaten in 27.I don't think they have played a France or Brazil strength of team though but still very impressive and this is an Italian team that attacks.

2/1 for Scotland on Monday is tempting,anything but a banker but certainly tempting.I think the opener between Italy and Turkey will be a cracker both teams in very good form.
The other two games Turkey play v Wales and the Swiss are in Baku and they reckon its a home game for the Turks as they get on very well with Azerbaijan and thousands will be allowed to travel to Baku.
More fans are allowed in their stadium than any other in the Euro's,i heard up to 31,000.Even if Turkey lose to Italy i still think they have a great chance of getting out of the group.

im now totally on this. France, Germany, Hungary, Portugal group is so intriguing as is ours. england could get to semis they also could implode. cant see them winning it. Germany and France but Spain still strong despite the unknown faces (4-0 win with u21 squad).

So happy we are back in it. I move house on 18th. im getting so pissed up watching the england game with unpacked boxes and a wife moaning at me. Hopefully a wee bj from her sis at half time though.

As an exile in Budapest I have tickets for all 4 games here in front of a full house of 60k+. So exciting to have football with fans again so roll on next season!

Scotland to make it through the group.

France, Belgium, Italy, Germany and maybe a few others could all win it so am exciting tournament ahead.

thats fantastic sultan. wow incredible to think reall. yes i think scotland can make it out of group and i also think england will underestimate us. I do think we will get beat in first game though as we have a tendancy of using wrong tactics. I blame the SFA

i dont think belgium can win it. players yes nation no

Yeah de bruyne and Lukaku critical if they are to do well.

Expect there to be one smaller team get to the semis though out of no where. Maybe even Scotland. You can dream

Its a really Weird tournament as in some sides clearly have home advantage in Certain matches, so neutrallity of tournament not what it normally is, then there is Random possibility covid outbreak totally derailing some side.

It definitely is weird, some sides at home and some sides miles away.

Think I read somewhere that in the very worst case scenario (officially known as VWCS) if the Engerland won it they would only have played one match away from Wembley. Now that can't be right. All they need is a dodgy Russian linesman and who knows.

Not sure where they're up to with De Bruynes injury, doubt he will feature in the early games. Lukaku is a weapon of a striker when you have a side that creates so many chances but he can have his bad day like them all.
