England Euro 2020 championship

Discussing other teams, no problem.
Just cut & pasted this off BBC text to make you think.

'France drawing with Hungary is a bad result for England. The 2nd place team in Group F will play England. France has 4pts, if Portugal beat Germany France will finish 2nd in group & play England in knock out stage.'

Re: England Euro 2020 championship
If a team is good enough they will win against any side. Why do some always want an "easy" way through? England are not through yet.
Re: England Euro 2020 championship
Hmm, Belgium 3 Russia 0 played last Saturday and we relied so much on De Bruyne that he did not even play. There are also the other ex Chelsea men Thibaut Courtois, Eden and Thorgan Hazard, Michi Batshuayi and Romelu Lukaku.

England will have to ignite their afterburners to have any chance of clearing the fence line.
Re: England Euro 2020 championship
How do you come to that conclusion without knowing where England will finish in their group? They could finish in second or even third place.adderman wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 3:31 pmDiscussing other teams, no problem.

Re: England Euro 2020 championship
Admittedly I did think England would win 2-0 or 2-1 not because I have anything against Scotland, I just don't think they have a very good football team. Neither do England it would seem but there is always another match/Saturday.
Wales like Scotland jubilant about a mediocre result but it's all about getting through to the knockout stages where there is no hiding place but anything can happen - Greece 2004 champions.
Gareth Bale - big name - should have hit the target with that unmarked volley?

Indeed another match on Saturday, the British Lions v Japan. The opening match of the tour of South Africa from Murrayfieldslogen51 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 20, 2021 6:00 pmAdmittedly I did think England would win 2-0 or 2-1 not because I have anything against Scotland, I just don't think they have a very good football team.

Scotland’s chances of progressing have taken a major blow with the news that teenage wonder Billy Gilmour has tested positive for Covid and will now self isolate for 10 days .

Re: England Euro 2020 championship
C'mon Finland!
A Stato factoid
Up to date, Belgium is the only national team in the world to top the FIFA ranking without having won a World Cup or a European Championship trophy.

Re: England Euro 2020 championship
Quiz question - which team did Belgium beat twice at the 2018 World Cup?

Why that would be England of course. Mike's call for Finland to "c'mon" fell on deaf ears methinks.

Re: England Euro 2020 championship
Belgium scrape past a brave Finland therefore England have already qualified for the last 16 - thanks
( If Finland had qualified from the group by losing they could also have been jubilant like Scotland and Wales)
One of those defeats to Belgium was a fourth place play off!

Re: England Euro 2020 championship
Do the whole Scottish squad now have to isolate - like you or I would if we had come into contact with an infectious person?

Re: England Euro 2020 championship
If they do, then were they maintaining correct social distances from the England players? No, I thought not so the England team should also go into quarantine, as well as anyone else they've been in contact with. Yes I know regular testing takes place but players are still proving positive.
Re: England Euro 2020 championship
If, scrape, the Wikipedia book of football excuses must be being used excessively. England 1 goal Belgium 7, lucky to escape defeat by Scotland which they would have deserved and staring defeat by the Czech Republic tonight. Come on the Czechs.slogen51 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 21, 2021 9:15 pmBelgium scrape past a brave Finland therefore England have already qualified for the last 16 - thanks

Re: England Euro 2020 championship
England 1-0 Czech Republic in the 70th minute
England could well win the group and face Germany or France in the last 16 according to the commentary - we should be meeting one of the third place qualifiers? Edit Group F finalize tomorrow - looks like Portugal could be third
( Lee Dixon has a masters in MOTBO)
