2024 Euros in Germany

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

AAAAHHHH!!!! They are so much better than that!!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

A good team would have beaten England 5-0!

[Charger]

Well looks like today might be a day of ties!

England again played just enough...it's almost like they didn't even try to win during the second half...couple of good spots but that's it...I was expecting more...but this might very well just be Southgate's startegy...do the bare minimum and advance and then kick on the high gear....who knows....

Extremely entertaining match between Spain and Italy going on right now...eventhough it's still 0-0!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

I was a little distracted during the first half, but when I did check in it seemed that Spain were in control!

I missed their goal!!

[Charger]

Well it was an own goal again... Stupid mistake from the defence....running straight towards their own goal and knee'd the ball in...

Good game though and eventhough Spain didn't actually get to score they ruled the game!

Today's matches for the most part are somewhat uninteresting...


Slovakia - Ukraine

Slovakia took a somewhat surprise win from Belgium and Ukraine lost brutally to Romania...so it is quite possible that this will result in a tie...

Poland - Austria

Poland played well against Netherlands and Austria reportedly did pretty good against France. Both teams need a win here so that might open up the game a bit. I'm thinking Poland will be on top.

Netherlands - France

The top match of the day. France will most likely be without their top man Mbappe (or atleast he would be in a very limited role) which does hurt them, but they have tons of talent though. Netherlands however did prove to be quite a lot better than I think was expected so they might put up a fight...or then both will just hunker down and settle for a tie.

Today's games

Slovakia vs Ukraine

I don't really know the teams that weel. Slovakia had a good win over Belgium, while Ukraine lost heavily to Romania. I thought Ukraine were better than that result, but if not then Slovakia should win comfortably.

Poland vs Austria

Both lost in their first games, I suspect Poland may have the edge here, but it might be a draw.

Netherlands vs France

Both won their opening games. On paper France should win... but neither will want ot lose so again a draw may be the outcome.

^ The three games today, if placed in a 17th-century context, would totally make sense as topics in a course on minor wars of the Early Modern period.

[Charger]

Slovakia played a great first half and Ukraine played a great second half and they surely deserved the win here.

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

I was down the pub... I saw that Slovakia were 1-0 when I left... 1-2 to Ukraine when I got home. Good for them.

[Charger]

Only watched the first half of the Poland Austria game and it looked like Poland were getting the better of it...obviously not as they ended up losing 1-3 with a penalty kick...

Just noticed that that was only the 3rd Penalty kick in the whole tournament...that's is incredibly low number considering the last few major tournaments and the intruduction of VAR...


Well my bet went down the drain with that one though... Now if France and Holland tie things up I'll be super annoyed as I would have made 144€ had Poland played on their level!

[Charger]

Goddamnit!

It was a tie...and a rather uneventful match all in all...

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

It was quite cagey, they cancelled each other out.

Today's predictions


Georgia - Czech

This should be an easy win the Czech. They played well against Portugal and Georgia...well...


Turkey - Portugal

Portugal was bit underwhelming in their first match, Turkey got an easy win from an easy opponent so that means nothing. It depends a lot on which Portugal are we gonna see...the tightly knit defensive one or the openly offensive one. This could be 0-1 or 0-4 easily.


Belgium - Romania

Belgium have to win here if they want to advance...Romania from what I gathered played very well and were much stronger than anyone expected but I find it hard to believe that Belgium would underpreform twice in a row!
