Predictions?

Feels a bit more open than usual and got a feeling this could pan out similarly to the recent AFCON in terms of upsets although I do actually think Germany will win this and beat Netherlands, who are starting to look pretty good again, in the final. Austria and Hungary the dark horses.

nashwan, Wednesday, 12 June 2024 13:59 (eleven months ago)

Portugal squad is pretty impressive.

Saxophone Of Futility (Michael B), Wednesday, 12 June 2024 14:04 (eleven months ago)

Hungary are my dark horse too! This means they'll go out at the group stage.

Italy beat Germany in the final on pens
France beat Portugal in the wooden spoon, Ronaldo throws a hissy
England, Spain, Denmark, Ukraine out in the quarters, Saka blamed for England's demise
Who cares about the rest

Beautiful times. The funniest commentary.

It’s 20 years today since England were beating France 1-0 going into stoppage time, but still lost 2-1.

Here are both of Zinedine Zidane’s goals from that night, in real time.

That was beautiful. Where did you guys used to pick up your goalkeepers. I'm always amused to see how the standards in professional football have evolved. At the same time, one of the few things I still love football for are the epic blunders.

Germany score their 5th goal & English commentator says, "That will silence the Scotland fans once & for all" & they say Scotland is not a colony. Even in football our country is under a colonialist heel.

Not overreacting much there I must say. I take any Scottish nationalist moaning about colonialism with a pinch of salt given how enthusiastic Scots were about when there was some money to be made from it.

If football games had a more precise system of measuring the relative strength of teams than say “1-0” or “2-1” then it would be self evident but they don’t so we get to argue about it for weeks - years. That’s football, baby

Humanitarian Pause (Tracer Hand), Monday, 15 July 2024 10:46 (ten months ago)

"Don't see what's weird about a manager not from the country being in charge of the team"

For players nationalities are fluid due to a variety of factors that often can't be controlled.

But for managers its fucked. If Ancelotti won the WC with Brazil then it should be split. Managers should be representative of the footballing structure of the country.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 15 July 2024 10:50 (ten months ago)

Martinez should quit the Portugal job just in time to be offered the England job. Can just see him standing belting out God Save The King.

It's harder to begrudge for 'smaller' nations e.g. Georgia. Maybe also nations who just don't produce good coaches, ahem.

nashwan, Monday, 15 July 2024 10:55 (ten months ago)

Only applyng this with the more established nations.

And most of the time it won't come up as they won't win. Can only think of Greece winning the Euros with a German coach.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 15 July 2024 10:59 (ten months ago)

Martinez expert at indulging fading* strikers who contribute nothing, an ideal pick

"But this is an attacking set piece, a chance to work the ball into a dangerous area, the sort of situation Southgate and his coaches must have plotted out in advance. Why is there no playbook, no set of choreographed routines or movements? Why is flinging the ball 40 yards backwards (and still into trouble) even an option? This bit is on Southgate"

Bar the accidental hero bollocks this is otm. Eng breeze through qualification and do well in tournaments. And while I mostly hated the football they mostly got through what was put in front of them.

Then again I have seen so much shit between Venables and Southgate its easy to be positive.

That shootout against the Swiss was really excellent. All five scored, no fuss. No mad screaming from Saka (unlike Pearce).

Its a different, nicer Eng, and sadly for the rest of the union (possibly Ireland lol) they might have to cope with victorious Eng fans in the next 10 years. It sucks.
