The Euro 2024 Thread

Apparently Italy still through? After 2 defeats and a narrow 2-1 against fucking Albania? Farcical

If they keep playing like this it won't matter much, and if they go on a tear from here and win the thing that's on everyone else.

Sadly I'm unable to watch but not surprised, this Italy is a pale shadow of former great Azzurri teams. They're finished

Nothing is impossible after 2004! Keep the faith!

Not quite. Slovenia get something against England, Czechs beat Turkey and Georgia beat Portugal would all need to happen though

2006? That side was far superior to this tattooed rabble

Referencing the Greeks that pulled out Euro '04.

I know many don't remember them fondly but they did win the thing!

Going through on 3 points and -1 GD is a terrible indictment on the format (I may have mentioned it before)

Hungary were -3 so they'll only need one other team to be worse

May as well not bother with the group stages

Doesn't help us tomorrow as Slovenia will know a draw guarantees qualification, we had this crap in 2016 with Slovakia being happy to play for a 0-0

Sorry mate, realizing now that with everything that's happened today you may not have been in the mood for ribbing!

All meant in good fun.

Ha no worries, just thought you were on about Italy in 2006

 

[Del Woppio]

What a finish that is

 

[Jack Regan]

1-1

 

[Alan]

FOOTBALL!!!!

 

[Kenny]

That might cheer Lupo up

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Pussy defending cost Croatia there.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Italy don't deserve that. Great finish though

 

[Sniffer]

Probably better. Croatia out and a less dangerous team through as a 3rd placed finisher.

Stanisic has had a rough night and that's the cherry on top. No need for him to tuck in that tight!
