All The UEFA EURO 2020 Games Match Threads

Quoted from Les Brechin

My abiding memory of that game is Alan Shearer standing in acres of space in the box with his arms aloft and Teddy Sheringham unselfishly giving him the ball to score after Gazza had dazzled the Dutch defence.

And Shearer actually miss hit/sliced the ball into the top right hand corner when he was aiming for the top left, Shearer still won't admit it though

As a 14 year old, it was one of those summers where the sun seemed to shine every day too. Similar to 2018.

Sexy football. Three Lions. The smell of copydex on the back of the 9X. Dolly the Sheep. Tracksuited parents at the school gates. Where’s Enzo Gambaro? I thought your Dad was at work. Is it meant to look like that? The summer of Andy Love. Happy times.

Copydex on the back of the 9X?......strange place to be making collages. You'd have to be careful with the scissors when the bus went over some of those bumps on Scartho Rd.

Precautions were taken. Safe scissoring

Quoted from Les Brechin

Maybe the result has blinded me as to the performance, but I just know that I enjoyed that game far more than I have most England matches.

On paper we had a very bold, attacking team in Euro 96.

In some matches we had a midfield 3 of Gazza, Platt and Ince, combined with McManaman and Anderton wide. You wouldn’t think that would work. No double pivots there.

Hungary 14/1 to beat Germany. Got to be worth a small wager?

A double with France to beat Portugal pays over 30/1.

That's £2 of this weeks spending money invested I think!  

Can anyone please explain who will play the 4 teams that finish 3rd in their respective group.Obviously it’s not England as we’re playing 2nd from F.

You never got the point of gluesniffing did you 😆

I’ve just spent some time trying to work it out. It’s a little bit tricky due to how it works, but provided the third placed team in Group F finished with either 4+points or a better gl difference than Finland’s -2 then it will be:

Belgium v 3rd place from Group F
Netherlands v Czech Republic (confirmed)
Sweden v Ukraine
Winner of Group F v Switzerland

Here are the permutations for who England will face based on the results from this evening’s games:

France win / Germany win: Germany
France win / Germany draw: Germany
France win / Germany lose: Hungary
France draw / Germany win: France
France draw / Germany draw: Germany
France draw / Germany lose: Hungary
France lose / Germany win: Germany
France lose / Germany draw: France
France lose / Germany lose: France or Hungary (depending on GD)

If I’ve worked it out correctly, we cannot face Portugal. Germany seems the most likely, both in terms of how many times they’re thrown up by the permutations and the likelihood of the results. In the event that Hungary win, it’s highly likely they’d finish second - that’s obviously the ticket everyone wants but their odds are 28/1 so seems unlikely.

In the big scheme of things, Germany wouldn’t be a bad draw. 13th in the world compared to France (2nd’) and Portugal (5th). I think that’s quite likely, and I wouldn’t be too unhappy with it on reflection - particularly with another quarter final against Sweden (or Czech Republic) as the prize.

We just need those cheese eating surrender monkeys not to pull a fast one!
