Three total bumdingers on the cards today but I’m retaining hope that Germany vs. Hungary might ding some hums.
Luuk De Jong is out of the Euros due to a knackered knee
I am wholeheartedly delighted that Sweden have officially made the last sixteen. I want nothing more than to see more of their economical football.
Thought this was interesting - Thuram is always the first person I think of for scoring their only international goal(s) in one big game
David Nugent obviously
Far more invested in the possibility of Portugal getting knocked out than England doing well.
Guess the ideal for England is for Hungary to beat Germany and Portugal to lose to France. But I’ve already come around to going out in a blaze of sideways passing glory against one of the big guns.
Portugal are going to beat France, finish second and be responsible for England exiting the tournament, just like every other year.
just thinking about how it must be to be from a nation where a competent 1-0 win at a major tournament is something to be sniffed at
Kind of forgot it was still possible (and I guess not totally unfeasible looking at that) for it to be Hungary next for England. Didn’t even mean it from a “Good for England” perspective though tbh, just really, really want Ronaldo and the dickheads out.
I think England will be hoping 3rd place in group E doesn’t go through as otherwise it’s likely that 3rd place in group F go in their half of the draw as well
decided i want as many central european countries in the knockouts as possible
czech republic, austria, switzerland, poland, slovakia, hungary, croatia, germany all through please
for the banter
I hope France absolutely destroy Portugal tonight
Oh go on, let’s offend him as well.
Hungary have looked fairly ropey when they’ve sat back in this tournament and absolutely terrible when they’ve had to push on. Really don’t fancy their chances when Germany know they need at least a point.
I get that if you support England you’re willing to stomach Southgateball in order to win some games and hopefully go far in the tournament. Fair enough.
But they’re making it hard work to root for them, given they’ve probably been the most turgid and unadventurous big side of the group stage tbh. Which is a bit of a shame given I’ve probably never liked an England team/squad more in terms of personnel.
