Football European Championships

is it too early to start a thread about it?

Edit: official Homepage: https://www.uefa.com/euro2024/

In the GF Ghost of a Duke predicted an England win, while FMF predicted an England defaet.

The tournament happens in Germany, I think the German has a good chance to advace into the next round.

With 16 of 24 teams going through to the next round, I agree. I would have predicted Scotland to make it as well and maybe even pull off a shock against Germany but their form as dipped since getting a few injuries.

Hard to pick a winner other than France. The rest are either average or professional chokers.

Portugal are good on paper, wouldn't be surprised ...[text shortened]...

Germany, Italy, Spain and England are capable off pulling off a shock win. England won't win it.

It looks hard not to qualify for knockout stages but Scotland will probably manage not to do it.
Home advantage for Germany is a huge plus
But the french look head and shoulders above the rest of the teams

England do have some great players kane Bellingham foden stones....MCGUIRE...lol
But have a useless negative manager. Out on penalties in quarter finals for them.

Dark horses Poland for me...

Spain and Portugal shouldn't be ruled outas strong contenders.

So we could sta5rt predicting which teams will leave after the first round.

I will only do the fouth placed :

group A: Hungary

group B: Albania

group C: Slowebia

group D: Austria

group E: Ukraine

group F: Georgia

Probably need this thread in general to get a bit of attention.

Bottom of the group.

A. Scotland (sorry Roma, too many injuries)

B. Albania

C. Serbia

D. Poland

E. Romania

F. Georgia

Surprise last 16 qualifiers - Hungary, Ukraine, Slovenia.

Interest seems to be rather low...

The tournament has started.

On the up-side: in all games up to now there have been goals.

Some games have been fun to watch.

No big surprises yet (I think).
