Euro 2020 (2021)

[DonAK]

All the sweeter when our Danish brethren knock them out.

 

[Falcao]

The Danes are not to be underestimated, they are a very good team and will be England?s toughest test so far.

 

[Yannik]

Don't care if it is Perez or anyone else.

UEFA need to be shown that football can operate outside of their incompetent governance.

Not by introducing formats that favour top teams even more than they do already. ESL is just UEFA on steroids.

All four teams in the semifinals played all their group games at home.


- England: 3x London
- Denmark: 3x Copenhagen
- Italy: 3x Rome
- Spain: 3x Seville

Very interesting actually. Thanks for the info.

Birdys redemption.

When an English team actually looks good you know the standard of football in general has dipped CONSIDERABLY!!
I watched Argentina and Brazil a few times in Copa and England would probably beat them too. It's just that England have decent players but the rest of the world seems to have declined.
Fuck, if England win then the English fans and their media won't stop ranting about Epl superiority and how that made England into a great team blah, blah.
Denmark and Italy have a chance against England but Spain are too weak, especially on set pieces which s England's main strength.

Does this mean England play the best football in the world???

 

[vegitot]

Italy have been the best team so far, neither Spain nor England have met a top team so the jury is out on those 2. Italy were very impressive against Belgium, and I think they beat Spain then England in the final.

Italy only face Belgium without Hazard and an injured De Bruyne. England beat Germany though.

This Euro has immense quality. When u compare Copa with euro it's a Joke. Copa quality is so much worse , Brazil have a free ride

 

[Horatio]

What is impressive to me(and puts them as favourites for me) is not so much their performance in the Euro Cup but Italy's run of unbeaten games. That shows a lot of strength mentality-wise.

Uefa and Fifa are for decades helping to richest countries (or to countries where the football is making the most money).
For both parties, it is better if England/Spain reach finals and win it than random Czech, Croatian or Romanian NT.

For years, big countries/club teams will get a push in tough moments (pens, red cards, lot of free kicks around the box) against less rich countries.

And this part about home matches is another example.

Further, people shit about England and home matches, but they at least have 4 clean victories out of 5 matches and a draw vs Scotland.
They conceded zero till now, right?

Spain, on the other hand, played 3 matches at home, managed to win 1 match, and in total won 1 match out of 5 over 90 minutes.
If Uefa wasn't helping to big teams in terms of refereeing and home matches, half of these teams would never be here.

Football is a nice sport, but is far from being fair play and rigged-free.

The quality in this Euro is low.

There is not one top team and majority of games have been exciting as been chaotic more than quality.

It is higher than Copa which is fairly terrible but this Euros have not been great at all in terms of quality of teams.

 

[serghei]

Quality is mediocre at this Euro tbh.

Average football level has dropped
