Posters whose countries didn’t qualify for Euro 2020, who will you be cheering on this summer?

[Buchan]

As the thread title says, posters whose countries didn’t qualify for the Euros this summer, who will you be cheering on or wish to see win it out? (English United fans who subscribe to the ‘United > England’ ideology can also contribute, if they please.)

For me, and possibly many United fans, it’ll be Portugal with Fernandes and Ronaldo in their team but also because I’d like them to defend their title and prove their 2016 victory wasn’t a fluke. Their squad is better this time around, IMO, and they possess some great youngsters who I’m excited to see on the biggest stage. We always seem to do well with Portuguese players and it would be nice if we identified further signings from their squad.

P.S. I wasn’t sure if a dedicated Euros forum was being created or not this time around so just posted this in here for now. Move/delete if necessary.

 

[WeePat]

Both my countries qualified. I'm happy to lend one to some poor sucker whose country let him/her down.

 

[Normandy]

Could have asked this question in the Republic of Ireland thread and gotten the same posters to respond.

 

[The Firestarter]

England.

 

[Rozay]

Arrogant enough to be cheering on my prediction, so that I can feel vindicated in the fact that I believe to have cast an educated prediction as to who will win it.

In simple terms, I’ll probably be cheering Portugal because I think they will win it and like being right about things.

 

[RedTiger]

I'll most probably follow England this coming tournament.

 

[TheReligion]

England.

I'll most probably follow England this coming tournament.

Good lads

 

[Gonçalo Motta]

My country qualified and our NT is stacked with some decent quality players (Portugal) but if we don't manage to win it I'm rooting for Italy. Always had a soft spot for them

 

[Varun]

The underdogs or the teams with Utd lads in it

 

[pcaming]

Not european but always kinda supported Netherlands and England.

 

[Ødegaard]

Whoever plays England.

 

[Nick7]

Anyone but England

Seriously though, probably Netherlands and France. I’m more interested in seeing good football than any one team though.

 

[ReddBalls]

The underdogs or the teams with Utd lads in it

This. Scotland or Sweden, then? Then you can have both.

 

[Varun]

It's always been match to match for me.

 

[BorisManUtd]

As a Serbian I'll be cheering on North Macedonia. Won't be easy for them, in group C with Netherlands, Ukraine and Austria.

 

[fergosaurus]

Finland, Netherlands and the home nation teams.

 

[RedTiger]

Good lads

Cheers. I was iffing and umming about it but in the end felt that having been born in England and having never really left Dorset, I should probably give England another chance to hopefully not eff it up again.

 

[Man of Leisure]

The underdogs or the teams with Utd lads in it

Both for me, so England it is.

 

[KirkDuyt]

All neutrals are supposed to support the Netherlands since we play football the proper way.

 

[OleBoiii]

England. So many United players in the squad and so long since the last trophy.

I don't mind Portugal winning either, but they won a trophy fairly recently..

 

[Cutch]

I'll need to have a think on who's actually going to win it, stick a decent bet on, then support whoever that is.

 

[UweBein]

France - Too rude and arrogant as @esmufc07 has cleared up in his thread.

Germany - Too boring. The Caf German posters epitomise this when obsessing over United.

Portugal - Ballsed up the Madeleine McCann investigation.

Italy - Fatten us all up with Pizza, Pasta, Tiramisu.. too carby

Holland - Done us over with van De Beek, Depay and Blind over the years. Their best player is a Scouse cretin.

England is the only real option to be honest. Especially if you're Irish.

 

[Bratt]

England

 

[BootsyCollins]

England, always been my go to team whenever Norway dont qualify, so i have been supported England quite a lot.

I live in Sweden, my wife and kids are swedish and im going to watch the EC with only swedes, so they hate me. Feck em!

 

[OmarUnited4ever]

Wales.

did they qualify?

if not, then any of the East European nations like Bosnia, Poland or Croatia

 

[Giggs86]

Portugal because of Bruno, Ronaldo, and the best anthem in the world.

Also England because of the United players.

 

[Hound Dog]

Italy and Netherlands

Btw, the Euros is a global competition much like UCL, so the audience aren't only from Europe.

 

[FreddieTheReddie]

My country (Hungary) qualified but I will support England and maybe Portugal.

 

[DatIrishFella]

My country (Hungary) qualified but I will support England and maybe Portugal.

Why?

 

[KiD MoYeS]

ABE

Anyone but England.

And Portugal because Bruno.

 

[Cloud7]

On a per match level, the underdog team in each match. On a tournament level, the team that plays the most entertaining football.

 

[Pretzels81]

France is gonna win it; best squad by far, cracking Starting XI and the closest thing to the best player in the world not called Messi: Mbappé.

 

[Red00012]

Not England

 

[Zlatattack]

As Pakistan have not qualified for the Euros, I'll be supporting England, as its home to so many Pakistanis, especially Bradford...

Reminds me of the goodness gracious me sketch where they were supporting Jamaica.

 

[FreddieTheReddie]

Why?

Why not support Hungary? I don’t follow Hungarian football, too much politics. Of course I will follow the national team and support them but if they get to play England, that will be difficult. Most of my favourite players are English.

 

[Moby]

Given India, once again!, failed to qualify for the Euros, it's Portugal or rather Bruno smashing it for me.

 

[klsv]

Any underdog to do a Greece.

 

[Gary_Walsh_Nou_Camp_Hell]

England.

Nobody can accuse you of being a glory hunter
