the biggest problem with the Euros now is that we only lose 8/24 teams after the group stages.Austria vs North Macedonia, no offense but this tie is monument to how crap the expansion of the Euros is
yes.Is the England-Scotland game at Wembley too?
Yeah all of England’s group games are at homeIs the England-Scotland game at Wembley too?
Austria - North Macedonia is a game to remember.I really have zero interest in the next 2 games. I might check the last 30 minutes of Netherlands game or something.
It’s at WembleyHampden.
Could be bedlam
Croatia's team is past their cycle, for some reason people expect them to still be at the level they were in the world cupBecause they've been better than us in recent years
True. As I said before, it was more based on our history against the top teams in tournaments, us missing Maguire, and them having Modric. I fully admit it was my own pessimism more than anythingCroatia's team is past their cycle, for some reason people expect them to still be at the level they were in the world cup
The Euros used to be a great, pacy, no nonsense tournament, 16 teams, straight to quarters, not a single off game allowed.the biggest problem with the Euros now is that we only lose 8/24 teams after the group stages.
there’s no need for it to be so big. Having these 3rd place teams qualify takes away so much from the group stages.
also makes qualification a joke.
need to reduce the no of teams to 16.
it’s stupid. Group of death… but actually all three teams might qualify!The Euros used to be a great, pacy, no nonsense tournament, 16 teams, straight to quarters, not a single off game allowed.
That, say, Germany might still be able to progress after coming 3rd behind Portugal and France is just not right.
Besides, year is already crammed with football, at least in the summer I need some fecking time off.
Alright, but they came 2nd in the world cup. Knocked us out. That's what matters.Before today, since the start of 2020 they've won 4 games out of 13. In that time they've lost to Sweden and Slovenia, and failed to beat Armenia.
Exactly. I hate it.it’s stupid. Group of death… but actually all three teams might qualify!
You're not forced to watch (all) the games if you need some time off, you know.Besides, year is already crammed with football, at least in the summer I need some fecking time off.
How the feck can their best players be 5 years older than when we played them 3 years ago?Their best players are 5 years older though. This Croatia is nowhere near that one.
Like increasing the pack size of cigarettes and telling a smoker, you don't need to smoke all of them you knowYou're not forced to watch (all) the games if you need some time off, you know.
Clearly Croatian people age differently.How the feck can their best players be 5 years older than when we played them 3 years ago?
I think it’s more to do with our fan base. After the game ‘it’s coming home’ being played and every single fans being zoomed in on were steaming drunk . When our fans go to major tournaments that what other nations see from us. We are a nation of piss heads.The hate for England is absolutely bizarre. I haven’t even seen this supposed “arrogance” for decades by this point either. But whatever.
Their own league is called Bundesliga too.Austria has nominated more Bundesliga players than Germany
I know, but I'm talking about the German Bundesliga.Their own league is called Bundesliga too.
yeah, but there are only 2 players from the Austrian Bundesliga in our squad, while 21 are playing in Germany. The Germans only have 18 of them.Their own league is called Bundesliga too.
I mean that was 3 years ago, a lot changes in that time.Alright, but they came 2nd in the world cup. Knocked us out. That's what matters.
Agreed. Some of the posts read like - now, what is the most stupid and controversial thing I can post. Because that way, someone (another half wit) might actually agree with me.my take has been - let’s actually watch the team before we start bashing the manager.
he got an absolute slating for his team selection before a ball had even been kicked.
deserves the sack, can he be replaced mid way through a tournament etc. Beyond pathetic and deserves to be called out.
The players seem level-headed to me, it's the fans and the media.I think it’s more to do with our fan base. After the game ‘it’s coming home’ being played and every single fans being zoomed in on were steaming drunk . When our fans go to major tournaments that what other nations see from us.

I know right. Who have they even beaten this year in a competitive match?Austria vs North Macedonia, no offense but this tie is monument to how crap the expansion of the Euros is
