Give a compelling reason your country will/won't win the EC 2020

[Botim]

As the title states, I want to hear the reason(s) your country will win it and why they won't.

I'll start off with Belgium:

WE WILL WIN THE EC BECAUSE:
- Lukaku's finally found his golden touch
- We have a fairly easy group and last 16

WE WON'T WIN THE EC BECAUSE:
- De Bruyne has a headache
- Hazard is fat

 

[OleBoiii]

Norway

We didn't qualify.

 

[Cheimoon]

Norway

We didn't qualify.

But why will you win it?

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Ireland will win it (Grealish and Rice).

 

[Pexbo]

Won’t win it: Because it’s the English NT
Will win it: We’ve got an embarrassment of riches in attack and are technically and tactically on an individual basis far superior than we have ever been with players playing under Guardiola and Klopp for the last 4 years.

 

[Deery]

Croatia (adopted country)

Will win because Modric master class

Will lose because Modric too old.

 

[JPRouve]

France

- Won't win because we haven't had any drama for half a decade and we are known bottlers.
- Will win because objectively we have the most talent and experience while still being a young team.

 

[Rado_N]

England, we won’t win it because England.

 

[romufc]

England:
We will win it because we finally have a host of technical players and loads of options to chose from going forward.

We wont win it because we have a defensive manager who will play 6 defensive players.

 

[jasT1981]

Northern Ireland - We won't win it as we didn't qualify. Got beat 2-1 by Slovakia after reaching the play-off final.

We had Germany and Holland in our group.

We will win it because - Fifa 21 on Easy

 

[paulscholes18]

England
Will
- A very good talented squad on paper
- Good squad cohesion

Won’t
- It’s England
- Is Southgate good enough
- questionable fitness on some players, (Henderson, Maguire, Phillips, Rashford & Grealish)

 

[Peyroteo]

Portugal

Will win because it’s the most world class talent we’ve had in the team in ages and have the experience of having already won it with a far inferior squad.

Won’t win because 2 of our 3 CBs are 38 years old and any combination of a midfield 2 behind Bruno isn’t high quality (all good players in Danilo, William, Palhinha, Moutinho, Neves and Renato Sanches but no standouts).

 

[SuperiorXI]

England
Will
- A very good talented squad on paper
- Good squad cohesion

Won’t
- It’s England
- Is Southgate good enough
- questionable fitness on some players, (Henderson, Maguire, Phillips, Rashford & Grealish)

No

 

[OleBoiii]

But why will you win it?

Haaland will find a way

 

[R77]

I'm a slightly confused mongrel.

Wales; We're not good enough, but hype free enough to possibly exceed expectations and be fun.

England; Crushed by the hype and expectations, as always. Will likely crumble under pressure at the sight of the first quality opponent.

 

[groovyalbert]

England

Won't - Southgate

Will - Southgoat

 

[shaky]

Scotland - We'll win it due to our abundance of attacking talent. We wont win it because I made the first bit up.

 

[George the Cat]

ENGLAND: Penalty shoot out or
Poor team selection , so will not win it.

 

[Siorac]

Hungary

Won't win it because.... do I really have to explain?

Will win it because after a year of covid and empty stadiums, the French and the Portuguese will be scared shitless by 60,000 fans in the Puskás Aréna. After destroying them in front of a full stadium, the momentum will carry us to victory.

 

[stefan92]

Germany

Won't win: Löw

Will win: No chance

 

[Idxomer]

It's in Africa.

 

[Cheimoon]

Netherlands

Won't win it because the first team isn't that great and the squad even worse, and De Boer is a poor coach.

Will win it because there are a few genuinely good players and the team has overperformed as a collective before, getting far in the Nations Cup, so why not. (Well, see above.)

 

[Siorac]

It's in Africa.

Excuses.

 

[LuisNaniencia]

England's squad depth is incredible. We could probably put out 2 starting elevens that could make quarter finals.

We lack top top class players though. You feel players like Mount/Grealish/Forden etc would all have to have the tournament of their lives and also click together to win it.

 

[TrustInJanuzaj]

England
We will win it because football is coming home.

We won’t win it because football has more chance of ending than coming home.

 

[Skills]

England

Won't win:
- Gareth Southgate is managing us

Will Win:
- Football's coming home

 

[FreddieTheReddie]

Won’t win.

Reason 1: Hungary
Reason 2: Group F

 

[Gandalf]

Wales

Will win - because Bale has been conserving his energy for the last 5 years for this and is going to dominate the competition, we will also get a nice supply of goals thanks to our route one Dan James to Kieffer Moore for the back stick header 1970's football connection which will confuse all the modern football tacticians.

Won't win - all of our goalkeepers are 2nd or 3rd choice at their clubs and despite his excellent name Ben Cabango is unlikely to be able to contain the likes of Kane and Mbappe.

 

[Teja]

Portugal

Will win because it’s the most world class talent we’ve had in the team in ages and have the experience of having already won it with a far inferior squad.

Won’t win because 2 of our 3 CBs are 38 years old and any combination of a midfield 2 behind Bruno isn’t high quality (all good players in Danilo, William, Palhinha, Moutinho, Neves and Renato Sanches but no standouts).

So you're not on board the Neves hype train?

 

[slored1]

Slovenia:
We will not win it cause we are shit.

 

[Stacks]

England
We won't win it because of the management, coaches and Mason Greenwood.

We will win it because our team is as good as Spain 2008, Germany 2014 and its coming home

 

[Peyroteo]

So you're not on board the Neves hype train?

Not really. From what I heard he wasn’t doing that well but I didn’t watch many Wolves games this season

Forgot to add that we won’t win because we’ve got the stupidest draw in the history of the Euros. We play Hungary in Budapest in front of 60 thousand crazy hungarian fans, then Germany in Munich and then the world champions France... and if we somehow manage to finish second in that group we’ll be rewarded by playing England at Wembley

 

[sillwuka]

England

We won't win as we will go out on penalties in the 1/8 or underestimate an opponent in the knockouts.

We will win because Kane will drag us to victory winning the golden boot. Inspired displays from Foden, Mount and Maguire will see us lift the trophy!

 

[Varun]

India

Wrong continent or we'd have thumped everyone en route to the trophy.

 

[Mb194dc]

Norway

We didn't qualify.

Didn't stop Denmark in 1992.

Slackers!

 

[pcaming]

Trinidad and Tobago
We won't win cause not european country and players banned from international travel anyway

Adopted home: England
Won't win cause of Southgate
Will win cause feck it, it's coming home

 

[Oranges038]

Not French but for France.

Will win - the best squad and are current world champions.

Won't win - Well, it's France, literally anything could happen.

 

[WeePat]

England

Won't - Southgate is not the man to bring anything home. He just isn't.
Will - But the squad is good, and can reasonably be expected to compete on equal footing with almost anyone in Europe.

Denmark

Won't - Bendtner hasn't been called up.
Will - Because ......... ah sorry who am I kidding, Denmark isn't winning the Euros.

 

[SilentWitness]

Scotland

We will win it after thumping England 5-0 with Che Adams scoring a hat-trick and Mct with a double to rub it into England that they snubbed them in favour of the true leaders of the British Isles. After this morale boost we will sweep away every side and lift the trophy as Nicola Sturgeon holds aloft BJ's severed head and feeds it to the dire wolves before declaring independence.

 

[Desert Eagle]

Thailand

Won't win it: Not in Europe

Will win it: Anything is possible with hard work and determination
