Huge following for the game, richest FA in the world (thanks to the premier League broadcasting deals and sponsorships), loads of talent, the best facilities... But still zero int'l trophies in almost 6 decades. G_B_ 1

There will be ebbs and flows. Only England are rebuilding since 1966. Italy France Germany Spain have won or reached finals in the interim. You can add Portugal to that list of winners. England still make documentaries on reaching the semi finals of the 1990 World Cup and 1996 Euros. G_B_ 1
Turning_track Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Along with the heavyweight match of France Vs Portugal I'm looking forward to Germany Vs Hungary, considering during the qualifications no team committed more fouls & earned more red cards than Hungary alas it will be conducted simultaneously .

Austin 3:!6 Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Amazing night of football. Feel for Hungary. So it will be: England vs Germany Portugal vs Belgium France vs Switzerland

So it will be: England vs Germany Portugal vs Belgium France vs Switzerland Hungary were so close to qualifying. They did very well considering they were placed in the toughest group. Drew against France and Germany(led for most of the match). They were also level against Portugal for nearly 80 minutes, before the onset of goals started. A lot of positives for them. They just need to strengthen their defense for the future. Austin 3:!6 1
Turning_track Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Amazing matches in last couple of hours. The last 25 minutes between Germany Vs Hungary was exciting.
Ranvir Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 England now face Germany. England have only won one knockout match in Euro history, against Spain in 1996 at Wembley. A match I remember watching as a kid, Spain were robbed. Let's see if England can end 25 years of being knocked out at the second hurdle. I doubt it.
Vickydev Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 Great night of football last night with so many ebbs and flows, sets us up for some mouth watering clashes coming up. Top half: Belgium v Portugal/Italy v Austria France v Switzerland/Spain v Croatia Bottom half: Sweden v Ukraine/England v Germany Netherlands v Czech/Wales v Denmark The real tournament starts now.

Norman Posted June 26, 2021 Author Posted June 26, 2021 If England gets through German, they have a real easy path to a final at Wembley. Sweden/Ukraine in the QF and Netherlands/Wales in the Semi at home.. they could not have asked for an easier route. Feel for teams like Italy, Belgium and Portugal who have to get through France and each other. They all deserve to be in the final more than England. Real McCoy 1

Germany to beat England in Wembley and continue England's failure at world events That would be awesome PS - Your avatar is cool. is that a squirrel eating an apple piece

LordPrabhzy Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 Denmark is smashing all opponents.. so unexpected and everyone is rooting for them now
Real McCoy Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Belgium beating Portugal was expected but Czech Republic beating Netherlands was an upset. Ned had a defender get a red card for ball touch and Czech took advantage from thereon. Ned could have won if they were more proactive in the first half.
raki05 Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Nice to see Portugal getting kicked out yday. In last euro they drew so many matches and kept getting easy opponent till final and then fluke it to the victory. Real McCoy and Lone Wolf 2

The Realist Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Lame Euros. Bloated tournament with too many average teams playing mediocre football. Ridiculous travelling for some teams while others do little. Really skewed format with major teams on one side of the draw and the other side giving an easy passage to the final. ICC level planning & scheduling.
raki05 Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Anyone ⌚ ng Spain vs Croatia. Amazing match going on.

I6MTW Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Second match also following similar footsteps. France leading 3-1 and Switzerland comes back with two quick goals to level it. Both matches had the same story.
