Norman Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Going to start in 3 days time. Should be a cracking tournament. For the first time it'll be held in 11 different countries across Europe. Everyone's pick is France as they have an absolute beast of a team with incredible depth in every position but I feel England will win it this time around. Both SFS and the final will be held at Wembley so that's a big advantage and also they finally have a team (attack) that's capable of scoring twice against any defence.. Portugal, Belgium and Croatia are the dark horses. Let's see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rising Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I think one of group F teams might win tournament mainly France or Portugal. England I feel are bit overhyped other that Netherlands might be dark horses . For Belguim to have chance Hazzard should click I feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickydev Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Really looking forward to it. This is the best team England have had since WC 2006. They have some sort of home advantage. Can they do it though?? Just feel they will fall short at SF stage, too many injuries and doubtfulls Norman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sadly, injuries have ravaged him since he joined Real Madrid. A trio of a peak Hazard, De Bruyne and Lukaku (who's in the form of his life) would have been a nightmare for most opponents.

I guess they didn't want to reproduce all the branded material with a different year. Would have cost them millions. Mariyam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also think 3 of them have different style of play so getting the best out of all 3 them playing together is a tricky 1 hour ago, speedheat said: Portugal They have a good chance but they still have get through group which is tricky aswell but this probably there strongest team in quite while although C Ronaldo is almost coming to end of his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranvir Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 France should win, it was shocking they lost the last one at home. I can't believe England are being rated so highly. Any team capable of being comfortable on the ball will dominate England whether that is France, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Germany. England still play a form of kick and rush football. Pretty much all of their goals in the last World Cup were from set pieces, they have no imagination or creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_rules Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) This is a better tournament than FIFA WC. Most are evenly abled, unlike the WC. Some countries make it the WC , just because they are good in their region, but don’t deserve its place over some EU country who missed out on EU regional quota. This was the case till 2006 when I watched Football. Not sure if it’s the same case. will watch after the group stage this year. Lockdowns will make you do strange things Edited June 9, 2021 by coffee_rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England now have guys like Mount, Foden, Grealish etc who are all very good with the ball and add more creativeness in the final 3rd. A huge improvement over the likes of Delle Alli, Lingaard, Dier etc.. Vickydev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
