A lot of clubs have been reported to be after him, makes sense since it will be on a free transfer. You can include Roma, PSG and Chelsea into that mix.
EURO 2020
- Thread starter danmand
- Start date
France, England and Belgium would be heavy favourites, especially with Benzema getting a recall back to the team. I always try to wager on a couple of underdogs.
Eriksen did that great pass that scored the goal. But he's not very good as a forward, he gets the ball starts running and then he stops and he passes the ball ...has nothing to do with Conte. He's a great passer and known for precision. Kjær wasn't great either, he plays better for Milan. They're lucky they were able to score.
Eriksen is not a forward. On the National team and for Tottenham he has always played a forward midfielder. Conte retooled him as a defensive midfielder (which I do not think he is good at).
Danish commentators said that he looked lost in his traditional position on the national team.
I blame Conte for Denmark not winning EURO 2020. (LOL)
I like Vardy as well - even though he didn't like pizza when Claudio Ranieri was coaching at Leicester. Weren't Richard III's remains found there?
As for Italy's chances, without the X-Factor, not good. They will only go as far as Barella and Locatelli take them. If they surprise I'll quote what Damon Wayans said to Tommy Lister "well slap me around and call me Susan"...and Tommy did.
The X-Factor in the No. 10 strip would have changed matters.

Eriksen has played as a false 9 before, tho it has been many years ago when he was with Ajax.
But his best position has been playing just behind the striker position. The trequartista position.
If Locatelli moves to Juventus, CR7 may not want to leave.
Allegri is back as coach, he says he wants Pjanic back. As Terry Crews says, 'whhhhhyyyyyy".
If Juve waste the chance, he'll probably join Carlo at Real.

Eriksen is less of a forward than even Kevin de Bruyne. He just doe not have the pace to be one, but his cutting edge are his set pieces as well as attempts from outside of the box. In a defensive role he is just not suited for it.
As much as I’d like to see England finally win something, I’d put Portugal ahead of them as well as France and Belgium. I don’t really see weakness in any position for Portugal. Belgium may not be the same as we’re used to with chunky out of form Hazard, and De Bruyne with his broken face.
This time around I would put Portugal as an outsider to win the title. Reliance on Ronaldo seems to be at the forefront of their campaign. If Ronaldo somehow succumbs to an injury, or out of form, then the team will lack that certain cutting edge. Yes Fernandes is at the peak of his career with Man United. But I cannot see them having that cutting edge this time around. England on the other hand has some of the most energetic players especially with the new talents like Mount, Rice, Grealish and Foden coming through the ranks. Couple that with the likes of Kane and Sterling as an attacking force, then this could cause quite a few headaches to the opposition defences. France has a very experienced squad, and looks like the actual favourites for the title. Germany has been a disappointment in the preliminary matches. Cannot see them stepping up to the plate this time around. Do not under estimate Bruyne and Hazard at internationals for Belgium.
I’m a big an England fan as they come but I’ve learned to curb my expectations to soften the blow when the inevitable disappointment comes. Sure they have some new exciting attacking players like Foden, Mount and Grealish to go with Kane, Sterling and Sancho but their defence and goalkeeping is suspect to say the least and their central midfield always has a hard time controlling games against big teams in these tournaments. Southgate will probably play 433 against Scotland but against the good teams he’s picked a roster set up to resort to his 523 in order to compensate for Englands defensive frailties when the hard games come. Portugal have done a damn sight better than England in recent international tournaments and now they have Ruben Dias who is the in form central defender coming into the tournament with many saying he’s on par or even better than VVD in terms of influence.
I agree that France are the overall favourites, and Belgium are just better overall even with De Bruynes broken face and a Hazards lack of form
Watched the Spain v Portugal game. Spain were much the better team although Portugal had Ronaldo in the lineup. He did not look that threatening throughout the game.
Rice in midfield has added some vigour to the England side. He seems to be very comfortable in that position, and the England back four did not look to be threatened in any way against Austria. Well, only France won convincingly in the friendlies whereas Germany and Netherlands were a bit flat in their warmup games.
Will be a very interesting tournament. Both CTV and TSN are apparently going to cover it.
Mourinho tried to hire Donnarumma, but he wants a team that will play the Champions league. Germany wins the U21.
Belgium wins Croatia (friendly) Croatia is also stacked with good players.
Giorgio Armani is dressing the Azzurri team

England has the greatest national team in the universe, they should win every international. They are so good that every other national side should just forfeit. Ants shouldn't attempt to compete with Titans.
