The Euro 2024 Thread

I think we'll lose to Spain in the final after 90 mins.

I think it would be close I think our resilience isn’t to be underestimated. They’re playing better stuff absolutely no doubt but do think they could be shithoused out of a result. They would be favourites definitely.

 

[leedswolf]

He has, but he has had a great season. Are we now saying if you don't play well in this tournament your shit.

By that yardstick

Neither England, France, Portugal have any good players

From SBNation

Griezmann is no longer the indefatigable player in his prime that he once was, and his incredible work rate, far surpassing that of anyone else in the Atleti attack, has cost him in the home stretch of the campaign. His final few weeks of the season saw him vanish into thin air, a hat-trick against Getafe being his only goals in the final eight games of the season. Next year, Simeone could do well to manage the Frenchman’s minutes.

 

[Boozad]

I wouldn’t take Gakpo over Limahl yet alone Yamal. Yamal has been a highlight of the tournament for me, an absolute joy to watch.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

At the moment the players that would get into any other semi final team based on the performances over the last year,

Spain
Rodri

France
Konte
Griezman
Mbappe
Saliba

Netherlands
Van Dijk
Depay

England
Walker
Stones
Kane
Bellingham
Foden

They barely the obvious ones of the top of my head.

The trouble now course they have not performed in this tournament

 

[jd1981]

I think the other nations would take Pickford, I don’t think they’d take Walker on current form

Still had a fantastic Season, I would hate to see him do a Ronaldo.

We have been extremely Fortunate, to be watching Messi and Ronaldo no matter who you think is the Goat. They were 2 of the best players ever.

Ronaldo has just stayed to long, he probably cost Portugal a Semi Final

If we're talking about form.in this tournament

No one would take any English or French Players

 

[leedswolf]

Would you take him over
Mbappe
Griezman
Sakha
Kane
Foden
Bellingham
Gapko
I would not

FFS spell Griezmann correctly...

Every nationality I spoke to in Cologne said they would love to have Bellingham, can win you a game single handed if needed.

Gakpo is peak "just under top tier". Just doesn't excel at anything enough to be truly top-end IMO.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Totally agree but he ain't exactly been on top form

 

[leedswolf]

Totally agree but he ain't exactly been on top form

Neither has Griezmann...

 

[Del Woppio]

20 minutes before a cracking looking European Championship semi final and they're just about to start talking about the game, pricks

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Got to have The One Show on first to talk about Toby jugs and morris dancing.

If Mbappé can't fire against 38 year old Navas who isn't even a RB then it isn't happening for him this tournament.

Just turned on to see Gillian Ballbag. He must be on day release from Lopetegui‘s backside.

To be fair Navas has been playing right back since before he left Man City, so getting on for nearly ten years.

 

[Banjo]

Not long turned it on. Why is Cucarella being booed?

 

[Dire Wolf]

Why is Cucarella getting booed/whistled, presumably by the French fans?

 

[Boozad]

Should have been 1-0 there, cracking cross from that shitty Yamal.

No idea, was just wondering the same.
