Knockout draw

Spain vs Georgia
Germany vs Denmark

Portugal vs Slovenia
France vs Belgium


Romania vs Netherlands
Austria vs Turkey

England vs Slovakia
Switzerland vs Italy


let’s go!
 
Massive favourites in most of those. Spain, Germany, Portugal, France, England.

Harder to call other two.
 
Kroos last action as a footballer will be to watch Højlund score a last minute header to start wild Danish celebrations :smirk:
 
I love how Dutch people now think we'll have trouble with Romania. We'll smash them 4-0.

This was the plan all along. Finish 3rd to make us look weak and then brutalize everyone in the knockout stages.

Emotional trauma from last Euros against Czechia. That was supposed to be an easy win too....

First min of the game. Random Romanian hits a strike from outside then box, top bins. Koeman with a confused look on his face.

Malen's own goal was the tell.. A cold blooded natural born killer like him would never score by accident. Hopefully UEFA disqualify you dirty match fixers.
 
Where can we see the suspensions, injuries and stuff like that? That'll help for predictions for the coming round.

Are any Turkey starter players missing the next game after the handbags today?

Right, totally agree with you about France and Belgium, but there is also quarterfinals etc. in this tournament: Spain and Germany are on track to face each other and Portugal are set up to have a much harder quarterfinal than expected should they progress. And all these teams are on the same side of the semi final draw, despite Spain, Portugal, Germany doing what they should have done. So those three can feel aggrieved that they get two extra sharks, or at least high profile opponents, on their side of the draw.
 
I dobt think Southgate could have gotten more lucky if he tried here at least in terms of a lack of big names. The other side will have a stacked QF lineup.

Of course, England have frankly also been weak, and Slovakia are exactly the type of team we've already badly struggled against recently.

Based off the deal Southgate has made with the Devil, Switzerland are beating Italy.

England will beat Slovakia 1-0, then Switzerland on pens and in the semi, they will beat Austria 1-0 after extra time.

Then England will get mauled in the final by whichever team gets there from the other side, who no-one can argue doesn't deserve to win the whole thing. That team will be battle-hardened by that point. Or they will be leggy and England win the whole thing without breaking a sweat :lol:

This Italy side are really poor. It's like the washed Germany side at the last tournament where Lowe was still manager well past the time he should've been replaced, so it was a big deal beating Germany but it was also the worst germany in my life time.

Austria and Netherlands are also massive favourites. Austria's been the best coached team this tournament, for one, and deservedly topped their group with Netherlands and France.

Italy vs Switzerland the toughest to call based on how they play. Don't see an upset in the other 7. Can see the Swiss beating Italy.
 
Looking at Slovakia’s squad, I can’t work out who scores their goals? As long as England can get a goal, don’t see them being able to put up much of a fight.

Spain to beat Germany in the QF.
France/Portugal to beat Spain in the SF.

Italy to beat England in the QF.
Italy to beat the Dutch in the SF.

FINAL: Italy to lose against France/Portugal.

Not sure if Slovenia is such an easy opponent for Portugal.

Portugal lost to Slovenia 0-2 in a friendly just months ago.

Portugal also struggled against Czechs who are a basically a lesser version of Slovenia.

And they were just demolished by Georgia. Sure, they played some back up players but still.

Spain could end up struggling as well.

I don't really see any easy ties for anyone on this Euro, the supposed favorites simply haven't been dominant, and some of the lesser teams proved to be very hard to beat.

I think these Euros are going to be very even with lots of surprises still in store.

I agree about the swiss , I can see Italy struggling against them . I think ndoye is a dangerman . Italians are without caliafori although I've no doubt they have a solid back up .

If an outsider is going to make the final , I feel it will be the swiss .

The constant negativity of your posts and the doom mongering is giving me heart palpitations. Please stop it. Just stop!

The Caf man, it used to be so good back in the day. All we get now is this doom and gloom. Some folks :rolleyes:

England have been shit and limped through all three group games.

Go roll your eyes somewhere else.
 
I hope some of you who dont like the doom and gloom around England team are the same when it comes to United.
