Euro 2020 Friendlies Chat

Donny Van De Beek is out of the Euros. Injured. The Dutch FA has not revealed what’s wrong with him.

Yeah every path out of the group is a bit :grimacing: so best case scenario imo would be to win the group and get Portugal, rather than France or Germany
(I also do not believe that this will happen)

Broken heart, I’m hearing.

Mount’s crucial to the quick turn-over England will need against the better teams, but I don’t think he’s going to be much use against Croatia who are going to old man them. He’ll stick with Sterling off Kane at least for the first game, which will similarly be a mistake. Foden probably in the final slot.

3 more sleeps!

  • hugely excited but I would like to maintain the illusion of apathy on the boards

Excited but also nervous. Still not used to supporting a team that anyone expects anything of and I’m not good at it

Reckon Turkey - Italy will be a great opener though

feel like Italy are going under the radar a bit

Their podcast entitled ‘The Athletic Football Show’ seems to be about the NFL. Hard pass.

Sorry, I meant the Tifo podcast, it’s ‘powered’ by The Athletic. Haven’t listened but imagine it’ll be hardcore tactics chat, they love that

Banging, exactly what I need.

The Guardian’s individual team previews have been good too, nice write-ups, some trivia and then some key phrases in each country’s language that seem like they could have been printed in a Match magazine preview of WC98.

Zonal Marking too, under the Athletic banner.

@Aggpass you can get them anywhere. A subscription just gives you ad free but through their app which is shit compared to good podcast apps

on second look the podcast seems to be mainly predictions, but there’s these videos too which are good
