Euro 2024

Spain - Germany should be great, two attacking teams with a lot of quality, shame it's a quarter final though.

Portugal - France may be similar to Belgium - France i fear, a bit dull.

I would be surprised if Ronaldo starts today, 120minutes and only 3 days rest is for his age too little. (Pepe and) Cristiano should be on the bench and come after 60 minutes

That's the common logic. Let's see if Martinez has the balls to risk going against Ronaldo's influence.

No country in the world has as bad train connections as Germany 🙄

Crynaldo will steal the show with his antics. Should be a good laugh.

Power is already back, so i can remain anti-social.

Saturday is more of a pub day anyway.

Absolutely fair...

Braindead players think they can celebrate in whatever way they want.
Time to grow up

Demiral showing grey wolves has to be proven first to be honest.This hand gesture is pretty old and can simply represent a wolf, one of turkey’s symbols(and other central Asian countries alike) like Germany has the eagle and France the hen.

shaqiri and xhaka did directly to provoke serbian fans.

Having said that, I do understand ban and was dumb by demiral regardless. Just hope to see fifa/uefa be consistent in their enactment.

I think German government pressured fifa/uefa into this. Might have gotten off with hefty fine as well otherwise

Nah, whoever Turk uses this gesture in 2024 knows very well he is using the Grey wolves salute and does it mindfully.

It's like saying for someone using the Nazi salute nowadays that it has to be proven it's not something else

Will be interesting to see if Pedri gets to start again. Going by last game Olmo deserves that spot, but you don't want to disrupt too much as a coach. Could be that Pedri once again plays 55 minutes.

Spanish media predict same XI as last time.

I would put Olmo there, but Pedri further behind instead of Ruiz
Pedri is not a no10, you lose a lot of his control on the direction of the game if you play him that advanced

As if Martinez has shown any restraint towards Ronaldo. Play as much as you want, do what you want, sky as many freekicks as you want.

Watch Ronaldo score his first goal and ignite the “carrying Portugal to Euro win” narrative
