3 points against Albania pretty much guarantees to see you through as one of the 4 best third place runners up.
Oh yes, I'd forgotten about the absurdity of the best third places going through. Very little tension in the group phases then.
I feel like every year we always write you lot off and then you surprise us again. Surely there comes a time when it's just one step too far for your elder statesmen.If we get a result against Spain we're good to go. I'd be satisfied with a draw, delighted with a win of course. I just hate Spain as an opponent, you can play a perfect game against them yet still lose.
Albania will be a tuff nut despite the fact they're outsiders.
We've never lost against Italy, we're their nemesis, hopefully that wont change this year.
I'll be in Berlin for the 1st game.
We'll see, if the games will go to penlties you know we'll be there.I feel like every year we always write you lot off and then you surprise us again. Surely there comes a time when it's just one step too far for your elder statesmen.
Plus, bitches love SosaWe'll see, if the games will go to penlties you know we'll be there.
Probable lineup
-------------------------Livaković
Juranović-------Šutalo------Gvardiol----Sosa
---------------------Brozović-----Kovačić
--------------------------------Modrić
Kramarić (Pašalić)--Petković----Ivanušec (Perišić)
Hopefully Dalić wont put Gvardiol on LB cause there's no need and he cant replicate the he way he plays in that position at City cause that way you lose a brilliand player and CB and gain nothing much in LB.
Haha, that could certainly happen, typical of us usually.
So good that his eyebrows are gone.It sounds like a very tough group without any idea of how Italy is doing.
A decent defence with the doubt of how Grimaldo will enter the team, a good midfield with Rodri and Pedri's half hour before injury and Nico/Yamal, which can be very attractive.
I wouldn't be surprised if either pair of teams go out. Obviously seeing cousin @giorno moaning here would be nice
Our contra is the "how are Spain still playing with Morata, aren't they able to bring in another striker...?".
Our pro some very good vitamins that Rodri brings in his suitcase.
The attack is also a bit meh. Yamal is too young to be a full time contributor in an international tournament and Morata is too unreliable at this level.
Can't decide whether this is a good squad or a bit underwhelming? Defence looks a bit ropey at the very least.
It's way off their Xavi-Iniesta-Busquets peak but same quality and some similarities to the Spain squads I remember as a kid, before Pep's Barca.
Not Stanisic at RB?We'll see, if the games will go to penlties you know we'll be there.

Probably him instead of Juranović, yeah.
Always dangerous to do so. When they're on and commited, they're one of the few teams in the world where the sum of the parts really is greater than what their individual players look like on paper.
