The Official Euro 2016 Megathread

[Paddingtonwolf]

Very true.

Then back to 16 teams is just much better I think.

Would make qualifying pointless. Everyone would get in bar your joke shops like Andorra etc.

Possibly the only way Scotland will get a go then!

 

[Alan]

IMO it's the 3rd place teams having a chance to go through that kept all three rounds of the group stage interesting.

 

[thehistorymakers]

Italy vs Spain
Wales vs Belgium
Belgium vs Italy
France vs Germany
Hungary vs Portugal
Croatia vs Spain

Fair to say those were all very good games.

Not if you were a Spanish fan!:icon_biggrin:

If you are leaving Bale out I can only assume you are blind

 

[Alan]

Ramsey was the tougher leave out, IMO. Bale was great obviously but not better than Nani or Balazs.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Behave.

 

[Jack Regan]

Nice to see Ronaldo referring to his teammates as "colleagues" there, obviously got a close relationship with them.

Blasczykowski for Kroos and that is it for me

 

[Johnny75]

Ramsey was the tougher leave out, IMO. Bale was great obviously but not better than Nani or Balazs.

I know it's about opinion but I wonder what you watch sometimes. Gunnarsson instead of Kroos, or in fact Witsel, Pogba, Matuidi, Khadira, or almost any other midfielder.

 

[Alan]

I think you may attribute to much to what those players have done beyond this tournament rather than their performances in France by themselves.

 

[Nando]

If you are leaving Bale out I can only assume you are blind

Payet, Griezmann and Ramsey have been better for me.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Gylfi and Bjarnason were far more impressive than Gunnarsson if you really wanted to pick an Icelander in midfield (no real reason to tbh)

 

[Johnny75]

I think you may attribute to much to what those players have done beyond this tournament rather than their performances in France by themselves.

I'm pretty sure I can make my own mind up on what I've seen and pretty confident Gunnarsson isn't in the top 20 midfielders in this tournament.

It's a shame Sissoko doesn't play this well week in week out in the Premier League.
