Euro 2024 - The European Football Championship

Not much in it...



So does that mean England play Netherlands?

Noone can go above them now, and we play the top 3rd place team?

I did fall asleep watching England
Should caveat that I’m struggling with Bronchitis and a lack of sleep but it was so bad

So did I, but I was more due to the fact that the game started at 2am here in Thailand

I have no idea how it works but we really do have the better side of the draw. The other half is crazy. If we weren't playing so badly we'd all be getting nicely overconfident by now lol

I hope UEFA eventually go back to the old format. Absolutely no way should you qualify by finishing 3rd out of a group of 4 teams.

I tried working it out, and I just gonna wait until after the next set of games...

Definitely the better draw. But it will still be difficult unless we start to play better.

They will probably just increase it again to have more groups.

Yep. More games = more revenue from TV and gate receipts.

 

[Baleforce]

That would be fine, as it’s still top 2 progressing.

Total number should always be a geometric progression of 2.

You would probably end up with the top 3 in qualifying getting through.

Georgia have been better to watch than England. They’re fantastic! How comes Portugal have rested the entire team but Ronaldo is still playing? What’s the point of playing when they’re already through? Surely at his age he needs to manage his minutes?

 

[jts1882]

You mean manages his statistics.

 

[Chrissivad]

Yeah, probably thought it was an easy game to score a few goals

 

[Daisuk]

That's a harsh red for Czech. And Georgia takes the lead against Portugal!

He probably fancies his chances of getting a few goals in.

 

[Chrissivad]

Lovely yellow for Ronaldo

 

[yiddo37]

Shaw must be fit for the next game, right?

Palmer played well down the right, and should take Saka's place in the next game. CM is still an issue thought

Crying out for Bellingham to play CM alongside Rice. Get Gordon on the left wing, Foden central and Palmer on the right.

Never a second booking, ref is a joke.

 

[Daisuk]

So, currently, Hungary is out. But if Portugal get a draw or win, and Czech don't win, Hungary will go through. Georgia through at the moment though!

 

[Seedy Ron]

Should've had the second one by now so he can mince off making a show of himself.

Good spot on that Neto dive by the ref.

 

[johnola]

The guy who scored Georgia’s goal is absolute class.

Glad we didn’t have to play them.
