EURO 2020

[asuran]

Couple of players on the Spanish team tested positive for covid19
Apparently replacement players are called back to train back home and might get called up if needed.

Might be interesting to those playing the betting odds.

We should have a match by match prediction. Game 1 My Take is:

Italy 3, Turkey 1.

Also, I think that England will probably make the Finals. If they have to play France in the finals, then I think that they will nail it this time around.

England is like the Maple Leafs of international soccer. Every tournament so far has been disappointing.

As Eric Idle said: England will kill everyone and live happily ever after.

Depth of Italian goalies, only one of these three gumbas made it to Euro 2020. Except for Germany and Spain, all three could start for any other country.

England all the way. Come on England!!!!!!!

Italy 2 Turkey 0

England did not call up their best team player. One that bring the grits! Jamie Vardy! So they won't make it pass the group stage

The chances of making it to the elimination phase is 2/3.

It is the elimination phase that will separate the good teams from the brilliant teams.

I am like a kid before the Euro and the world cup... All excited. A 50 year old excited dude

Who is your best young player prospect? Me I think, if the coach is wise enough to start him, it will be Ryan Gravenberch of the Nertherland.

I’m wondering if I sign up for the TSN app now, will my 1 month subscription last long enough so it covers the final as well. It would be annoying if it ends right before the final forcing me to sign up for another month. Safest bet would be to skip today’s match and wait until tomorrow to sign up. Hmm

I was going to replay The Mighty Sid's legendary Italy rant from 2018 one last time. I love it but scouser1 didn't, he gave me a verbal forearm shiver over it. I left it alone at the time, now I will address it.

Scouserly type, I love you like a fratello but you're living in Wonderland, Italy IS the Mediterranean. Nothing transpires there without Italy participating. The country risked bankruptcy to insure that there would be no further bloodshed in former - Yugoslavia. The Italians were the ones that both Israel and Hezbollah agreed upon to keep the peace in South Lebanon. The Iranians don't trust the regime change loving Americans, Italy acted as an intermediary on the nuclear deal. There are other examples but you get the picture, out of mutual respect I say to you...Inghilterra Buona Fortuna.

Here's a song I know you love.

I think France, Belgium and Portugal are in the "first class".

After that several teams are in "second Class"

Best breakout young star prospect. Good question. I’m excited to see foden, adama traore, jota.

I'm surprised that the Turks were that bad. I saw them play before and they did very well, Italy dominated. Even without the Demiral mistake they still were a head. Actually, I'm surprised Italy didn't score more in the first period.

Was Turkey that bad or Italy just so good? I used to find Italy so boring. So defensive... Even in their greatest they would always win 1 - 0 But this is not the Italy I saw today. My son has predicted Italy to go all the way. He may be correct

Cheers,

Their defending cost them. Brutal. They let a veteran like chiellini run free unmarked.

Turkey were all too deep and no threat at all

Turkey were very bad.
