England Euro 2020 championship
Good evening all
Just thought I’d start the football thread for the upcoming championships ,good luck to all the home nations ,hopefully we won’t be out by the quarter finals as we so often are ,Jack Grealish looks promising ,as do the whole team ,hope Kane can get a load of goals as with Marcus Rashford,if he is up to full fitness should be a good front pairing
However after seeing Germany thrash Latvia 7-1 in their last pre tornemant ‘friendly ‘ the other day (not just the same goal scorers ethier ) we are all doomed and Germany probably going to win they are too efficient ,also France and Belgium will be hard to beat to
Anyway having said all that ,come on England
Whatever happens let’s have a ball it what the country needs at the moment

Re: England Euro 2020 championship
Let’s hope the idiot that manages England doesn’t continue to play both 5 defenders and two defensive midfielders and actually plays some more of the talented attacking midfielders and forwards we currently have.

Re: England Euro 2020 championship
I would have Jordan Pickford in goal
If I were a time team manager then it would be Peter Shilton

Good call Mike ,he was my second option he’s done well of late ,but I can’t resist being a life long Man U fan
Shilton a bit before my time but what a keeper he was

Re: England Euro 2020 championship
I would pick a starting team of 11 and not 12 as listed.
Shilton was not a patch on Gordon Banks; ask Pele denied by one of the greatest saves ever.

Not so long ago "gli Azzuri" were the team to beat.
Re: England Euro 2020 championship
I wouldn't be having probably the best attacking midfield player in the country in defence Foden,needs to be backing up the forwards,Skywatcher wrote: ↑Fri Jun 11, 2021 6:26 pmKick of soon two days

Funny how quiet this topic is ...
Re: England Euro 2020 championship
I turned the game off at half time last night as I had some paint to watch dry...

Re: England Euro 2020 championship
Pathetic performance by England. Shocking how many times they passed sidewards or back to the defenders.

Re: England Euro 2020 championship
It was a bright start
After Stones hit the post in the first few minutes I thought here we go , here we go , here we go. Here we go. Here weeeee go!
But we didn't go anywhere fast
Can't understand why Scotland were so jubilant about a nil-nil draw?

Re: England Euro 2020 championship
A bright start? Think that was the floodlights There should have been only one winner and they were not wearing white. Still the world number one team are quietly progressing

Re: England Euro 2020 championship
If you mean Belgium, they overly rely on Chelsea reject Dr Bruyne
You can get 50/1 for Wales to reach the final
Re: England Euro 2020 championship
Why has the thread title got 'England' in it, are we just supposed to be discussing the England team here, or can we discuss other teams?
Re: England Euro 2020 championship
Fair comment, gmc007
Still think I have more chance of being Pope Paddy 1st than Scotland progressing
