Euro 2020
I'm sure there are a few on here watching. What's everyone's thoughts so far?
I stopped following club football years ago as I find it fairly dull these days. Been some decent football for me though so far.
Italy look dangerous - I've never seen them play like that in the last 30yrs at least. Actually playing attacking football.
England didn't play too badly either. Kalvin Phillips was superb.

Re: Euro 2020
I’ve been enjoying the games so far.
Agree with your assessment of Italy. They looked very good against a Turkey side who were fancied to do well.
England did enough to win today. On another day, or could have been 4 (Foden’s shot in the 1st, Kane’s one and the Sterling chance or even Mount’s free kick.) Due to the way the groups are, the last 16 tie will be England’s final.
First half of the Dutch, Ukraine game was brill but the Dutch are pulling away.
Still not sold in the hosting idea - seems a bit weird but serendipitously, it’s a Godsend for Covid.
Still think it will be France or Portugal though

Today's England game was my first of the tournament. Really enjoyed it and nice to finally get off to a good start.dinny_g wrote: ↑Sun Jun 13, 2021 9:23 pm I’ve been enjoying the games so far.

We have the talent to go all the way, let's see if we have the right attitude/mentality to go with it.
Re: Euro 2020
Don't have much time to watch, but I'm trying to keep up where I can, watched the Wales and England games in full and caught up with other bits when I can.
Re: Euro 2020
My new flat is about 5 minutes from Hampden so I’m sure I’ll hear all about the Scotland game today
An absolute unit
Re: Euro 2020
Looking forward to seeing Scotland in action today, would be nice if they got out of the group.
Re: Euro 2020
I’m a Holland supporter so was glued to the match yesterday. Fantastic goals from the Ukrainians though
GF is Italian. Could be interesting if they both keep playing like that.

Re: Euro 2020
Well if youre going to lose, lose conceding a wonder goal
Re: Euro 2020
Shame for Scotland, I thought they were on par with Czech Republic but didn't take their chances or were a bit unlucky with deflections that could have gone anywhere.

Re: Euro 2020
Surprised to see they've picked Seville to play at. Just about one of the hottest places in Europe. Seems a bit harsh on the Swedes
Re: Euro 2020
Sweden really struggling, looks like they’ve had too much Falukorv…
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Euro 2020
It’s so strange to think that’s my boy’s first chance to see Scotland at a major finals - when I was young it was a regular occurrence. Very disappointed with the result, but not too surprised given the lineup. And those mistakes at the second goal just summed us up.
Enjoying the tournament so far though, pretty entertaining. Italy have always been my second team, so was good to see how they started.

Re: Euro 2020
Italy will probably win it. Mate's got 100 quid @ 9-1 so fingers crossed for him.
I thought engerland were better than expected.
