What an unbelievable day of football in Euro 2020! What sort of odds would you have got on both Spain and France surrendering 2 goal leads in normal time?
its entertaining stuff for sure, cant see any team to stop us winning it YET, :wink:
:lol: Putting it like that, if any of those teams can concede 3 goals then there is always hope! :wink: Of course the fact they can also score at will is more of a concern.
How i see it we are not conceding even with Captain Conor Coady sitting on the bench, The only thing in our way will be VAR,The Ref,UEFA,Angela Merkel and her buddies from the EU. the hand of God, Nicola Sturgeon, Roy Keane, The European Song Contest panel. apart from those few obstacles i cant see any problems, :?

After many consecutive days drinking I planned two days off today and tomorrow before setting off on a three day golf trip.

I really can’t see me getting through tomorrow’s game without a beer !

Anyone offering odds ?

Would've thought England @ 5th in the betting behind 🇩🇪 & 🇧🇪

Winner of tournament will be winner of Italy v Belgium.

You’re onto a positive here. We traditionally do well against top sides, and defeated by Costa Rica etc etc……. Drawing v eventual champions, Engerland? You’re onto something Wolfie

I recon the game with you will prove the toughest match on our way to winning this thing. cant see anyone better than us so far.

Although we will probably have some major decision go against us, you just know it aye,

On that side of the draw, with Sweden, Ukraine, Czechs, Denmark, Germany & you guys….. can only see Germany coming through.

Sticking with my original tip for champions after the opening game and thats Italy. Unfortunately for England, seeing an Italy v Germany final.

But…….. look at Prediction league archives. I know fk all.

Pleased Spain got through, the tournament without France is poorer for it but at least it offers an easier route to the semi-finals. Switzerland well done and all that but they'll never replicate those heroics of this evening. Ten years ago would have got involved more, made a few weeks of it, drinks and all, but the time has passed.

Not going to f*ck around, would like Germany to win the next night. Every shitslag and it's dog will crawl out from under it's rock if the English manage a win, elevated from basic mediocre level to overnight stars or for as long as it lasts. Some big nations have gone by the wayside it's somewhat open right now but spoiled to considerable extent by VAR intervention, game breaks and the basis the whole tournament was presented / hosted half-assed from the start.

Two great games to finally light up a pretty drab tournament, I have to say although the entertainment value was fab the quality of the defending in a lot of games has been very poor.

How was DeBruyne's injury after the game with Portugal? Let's hope he's fit for the quarters.

I don't understand why everyone is so worried about the Germans. They are getting old and managed by a guy who makes some very odd decisions. i would be unhappy if we didn't consider ourselves as favourites for this game. Expect it to be usual Southgate approach also so not too exciting but secure at the back. I'm thinking 2-0 us with a goal each half.

Odds on Spain, Italy and Belgium are all drifting this morning. If it’s not England I’d love to see Spain win but can’t see it with their central defence looking so poor. Belgium, well maybe the bookies know something we don’t about DeBruyne’s fitness, and Italy I’ve not seen so can’t comment,

Personally I think the winner of tonight’s England v Germany game will win the tournament and I’m looking forward to this game more than any other so far.

Bring it on.

Sadly I said before it all started that Germany would win the whole competition, I hope I'm wrong but England haven't shown me anything to change my opinion.
