Football UEFA Euro 2021- Tournament Discussion Thread

[Hardy]

That moment when Poland just decides to screw your bet.

Not shocking at all tbh.

Still voted for Lewa scoring a lot though damn.

 

[Sky]

Spain doing the same.
Who would have thought that their vaccination plan would backfire…

That Swedish keeper is nuts. That save from the header was something else

Yeah MotM. But tbf Llorente had a line clearance in one of the like two times Sweden attacked.

Starting Morata cost Spain this game. No idea how he keeps on being called up for the national team when he misses so many sitters even at club level.

Some idiot analyst on ESPN was talking about how this is bringing up who's going to step up at number 9 and score goals on the big stages "like Torres", and all I'm thinking is, do people not remember Villa or Raul?

But it's the same idiot who was criticizing UEFA for taking 90 seconds to perform CPR on Eriksen..

 

[Imperium]

To be fair, Torres scored in two consecutive euro finals. Something the other two didn't, Raul in fact didn't even come close. So it's not that outlandish to use him as an example.

But they really need to do more upfront. You don't win games by possession.

I have France comfortably beating Germany, I just don't have that much confidence in Loew. With Flick joining as coach after the tournament though, I think they will be really scary soon enough.

Solid video breaking down the Eriksen situation. His speculation regarding him not being given chest compressions earlier was a bit off given that Danish medics say he was conscious and breathing when they first approached him though.

Pretty good start for Portugal. My prediction of them topping the group gained more ground with that result

--
This France or Germany game, I see it going one of two ways. A dull 0-0 draw. Or France demolishing them completely.
Would be more surprised if Germany managed to sneak a win here

HUMMELS

 

[Sky]

Not sure if I should laugh or cry about Löws "tactic".

 

[Riku]

Oh come on! So close.

Pohjanpalos headgame amazing this tourney.

Agh, saw the stopped video, and it was like half of his face that was offside.

Well, 3 points is still 2 more than I expected from our boys. Oi Suomi on!

I don't think we have any chance against Belgium, even a tie feels out of reach. Even if we finish 3rd, I doubt the score difference is enough. So this was it I guess. No Pukki party, but no shame either.

 

[Hermit]

Lmao, Bale. What a penalty

 

[Hardy]

Stupid inoffensive neutral Switzerland screwed my bracket

 

[Hermit]

Jeez that was a great header from Stones. Unlucky that it didn't go in.

That was a very poor game. Also Southgate really had 5 subs to use and only made 2?

 

[goldb]

Glad I didn't sit to watch that game. Guess England still can't figure it out when it matters...

 

[Imperium]

Not an issue at all, still on the march. Obviously, we clearly gave that one up in the interests of national unity. Bojo informed Gareth earlier. Just according to keikaku*.

*Keikaku means plan

 

[Sky]

As expected the base level of this EC is very poor and after a long and covid-ridden season like this it should just have been cancelled. (Just like the WC 22).

Though we can expect a big win from Portugal tonight.

 

[Hermit]

Wow. Hungary. What a goal.
