Euro 2020 thread (Part 1)

Seems the right choice, given potentially the Billy Boys and the Tans could be playing here

At least those nordie pricks wont be in Dublin next year.

At the moment UEFA are adamant its going ahead as planned. Contingency plan seemed to be to move the whole thing to Russia but there was talk over the weekend the FA were pushing an England/Scotland/Wales alternative. I think UEFA will want to have everything finalised by Jan/Feb at latest which may be tough given the current vaccine rollout timeframe

I presume it’s only a matter of time before they are cancelled?

A ticket for a match in Dublin in 2020 valid for a match in Russia in 2021

Wouldn’t make much odds to a lad not from Ireland I guess

Will there even be a Euro 2021? Lot of talks of it being canned. I could see them going straight knockout over a shorter window. Not that would be fucking class

I would say the chances of this taking place in Dublin or on a pan European basis are miniscule at this point. Surely to god they will pick Russia or just one country and get the teams there 15 days or so before it starts and set up a bubble. I have tickets for the Dublin games but would have little interest attending at this point as there will no doubt be a big rigmarole to go through to attend and I find it impossible to believe that Ayatollah Houlahan will let 50k spectators into a stadium in Dublin in six months time

Can you imagine the meltdown the usual suspects would have

I have officially handed back my tickets for this.

UEFA look to have set a date for March 5th on where matches are being played.

Russia seems the obvious choice

That would be brilliant

We still believe…

England defence and a midfield pivot of Rice and Henderson will cost them. No creativity in midfield.

Zaniolo started back on the training field today.

For Italy I’d go with the following squad:

GK
Donnarumma
Perin
Gollini

DF
Lazzari
Di Lorenzo
Bonucci
Romagnoli
Acerbi
Spinazzola
Bastoni
Mancini
Florenzi

MF
Barrella
Verratti
Jorginho
Pellegrini
Zaniolo
Locatelli

FW
Immobile
Belotti
Insigne
Chiesa
Berardi

I think Chiellini is done but would expect Mancini to bring him if he’s fit.

Think this is going to be one of the best tournaments in a while. France, Portugal, Belgium, Spain, Germany, Italy, England all in with a chance in my opinion. Below that Holland, Croatia and Switzerland all very strong too. Very open tournament.

The Dutch are much better than the Belgians for me.
