Euro 2021* — THE FINAL WE ALL WANTED

We might as well discuss the U21(23) Euro in here too. Wirtz with a nasty goal for Germany in the semi final against the Dutch. The winner plays Portugal.

 

So, um, the entire Spanish squad and coaching staff are now under quarantine because Busquets tested positive for Covid, which seems less than ideal 4 days before this thing gets underway.

They’ve called up their U-21 squad for their final warmup match tomorrow.

 

Wow, seems things have really fallen apart with no Real players. Really makes you think

 

I’m hearing that the guys in the dressing room purposely infected themselves as they’d rather sit out than play without their captain.

 

Damn, double homicide

 

that’s the kind of confidence I like to see from the world’s most expensive player

 

Crimea river, Russia

 

Always cute when Americans cry about lack of freedom

 

Now do Wahl

 

I just got odds on Portugal at +900 and France +470. Yes please.

 

We finally made it. Happy Euros day

 

I need some good winners so I can retire. What about Italy and the hot Turks ?

 

throw some money on Yilmaz

 

I forgot Rece Davis was the studio host. What the fuck

 

For the host, I don’t feel like you need to know the sport all that well if your just is simply to direct the conversation for the panel and he’s good at that

 

I love Rece and agree with your overall point…it’s just a seemingly strange fit.

 

Should have never fired Bob Ley

 

Yeah, that’s it. Bob was so good at this.

 

Cactipus12 what’s up? Got a team you follow? 10+ years of lurking with no posts is extremely impressive. TSB is great should you like to participate.

 

Going Italy to win Euros, with Immobile golden boot

Spoiler

it will probably be France but that isn’t as fun

 

'18 World Cup is what hooked me on this sport, pumped to relive it all with this similar madness

 

I really want to pick Portugal, but that group of death is terrifying.

 

The 4 best 3rd place teams advance, so they should be ok. I like them more than Germany fwiw.

 

The world cup in Brazil was so fun. The studio, the theme song, the unfinished stadiums, men in blazers, fun US games, Brazil getting manhandled. Feel like every tournament is trying to live up to that for me.

 

Turkey has previously qualified for 3 major tournaments; they made the semifinals in two of them.

 

02 the goat. Waking up at 2am to watch the US is something I’ll never forget.

 

I was 11, but that sounds amazing

 

Italy not wearing blue kits in Rome smh

 

Portugal match was right at the start of summer vacation, was fucking amazing as a 12 year old can't imagine if I would've been drunk in college or something

 

Three Juve CBs starting

 

The ball car!

 

I've not heard of a lot of these Italian guys, had no idea jorginho was Italian

 

Hell yeah!

 

I laughed out loud when I saw they were driving the ball to the ref in a tiny car

 

Delivering the game ball via toy car seems about right

 

Born and raised in Brazil though

 

born in Brazil and lived there for most of his youth iirc

 

Mancini looks younger than in his City days
