Euro 2021 non-Scotland games

[cabbageandribs1875]

If England do win it, they will have beaten every team in the tournament on their way bar one,then I'm invoking the traditional Scottish logic and declaring us Joint European Champions.



Scotland will be due part of the cup through the Barnett Formula

[Since452]

Of course and if they win it that can be the reason why it wasn’t such an achievement, easy draw, home games blah blah blah.

Ukraine, Denmark, the worst Germany in history, all but one game at Wembley... surely you must see it's been an easy route to the final

[McSwanky]

Ah the easy run to the final chat…….again. The usual comfort blanket nonsense when England are doing well.It is true though. Compare Italy's run of games to England's.

Still, like I said earlier, you can only beat what's put in front of you, and they are doing very well on that front! With all games at home from here on in, they are rightly favourites to win now.

[Scouse Hibee]

No it’s tournament football, no easy games, you have included Denmark who we haven’t even played yet, did they have an easy route to the semi final too? We always seem to beat a team who just happen to be the worst team in their history too!

This is quite obviously very true on this occasion. Add to the permanence of being at Wembley.

They really have no excuse this time.

Inclined to agree with you, though the Wembley advantage has been huge. Having said that, you need to make that home advantage count, which England have done well (and we did terribly).

Denmark will possibly be the toughest test yet - they're a very good side and they're still clearly galvanised by what happened to Eriksen. Still, it's a very talented young English team and they shouldn't be afraid of any of the remaining 3 teams.

[Key West]

England have been fortunate the way the tournament has panned out but to be fair apart from home ties and the reintroduction of fans other aspects have been outwith their control, they along with other sides including Italy and Spain are teams in transition and are progressing well.

[aljo7-0]

England have a great squad. They should be reaching the semi final. Southgate is a likeable bloke not the arrogant type that usually manages them They played well against Ukraine and actually played some football. I can see and appreciate all that BUT I really struggle to watch anything to do with the Euros or indeed any news programme at present as their brilliance gets rammed down your throat on every news despatch. I want to watch the news and football but can't with the sound off. So as usual I've tried to watch the tournament from a fair perspective and admire the football and as ever I'm now back in the ABE box that the "British" media has pushed me to.
I've lots of English friends and would be happy for them but selfishly I can't face the avalanche of media noise that will come with a win. I should be a bigger and better person but I can't be.

[Moulin Yarns]

Having all but one game at Wembley does make it a little easier for them...

Scotland had all but one game at home as well, how did we do? 🤔

[Bristolhibby]

9k fans v 40k fans makes a difference.

Nobody is saying home advantage is the only reason, but it is 100% a contributing factor for England.

Im just perplexed how both semis AND final are at Wembley.

[Hillsidehibby]

if England win it good for them. They have a great team.

[MWHIBBIES]

Definitely not the worst Germany in history. 2004 and 2018 teams easily worse.

England have had a favourable draw, but actually they always had to play 2nd from the France, Germany, Portugal group, so it didn't exactly look easy then.

This is not the first time a host nation has gone far in a tournament.

Add in the fact England want the World Cup hosted in England in 2030 hence why they are trying to show off Wembley again and all the UEFA delegates are coming across.

[Potty78]

England can only beat what's been put in front of them. Think they are improving with every game. Actually like southgate, think he comes across really well. Brilliant squad who I personally think will win the tournament now.

They also have some incredible young players coming through the system.

Again all down to a strategy and a lot of money they invested in infrastructure. Sadly Scotland are miles behind the English set up.

[SHODAN]

Amazingly, Denmark will be the highest ranked team England will have faced yet.

If they win the trophy, every team they'll have played will have been ranked below them.

TBF it’s pretty easy to play teams below you when you are ranked 4th in the world and 3rd is Brazil. Bar Belgium and France (who are both out) EVERY team is ranked lower than them.

[Hibbyradge]

Ah the easy run to the final chat…….again. The usual comfort blanket nonsense when England are doing well.

England have a very good side, but given that they avoided Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal and Spain and only had to face very poor Germany and Ukraine sides, suggesting that they've had an easier run is pretty accurate, no?

[marinello59]

Hardly amazing when England are the third highest-ranked team in the tournament.

Annoying as it may be to those who can't bring themselves to admit it, England are clearly a good side and have done well at this tournament.

When you're one of the top ranked sides in the world (or indeed one of the top performers in any sport which features knock-out competitions), so-called 'easier runs' are surely the norm? We tend to moan about the tough draws Scotland get in qualifying but they're tough because we failed to reach a major tournament for 23 years and were consequently always in seeding pots which pretty much ensured tough draws.

[ekhibee]

Definitely not the worst Germany in history. 2004 and 2018 teams easily worse.

England have had a favourable draw, but actually they always had to play 2nd from the France, Germany, Portugal group, so it didn't exactly look easy then.

But how it looked and the reality were totally different. Germany were poor before they played England and couldn't beat Hungary, in fact Hungary deserved to win on the night, and Ukraine were poor and only really qualified because Sweden had a man sent off. That said, it would be foolish to write off England, they've got some great young players, and they are definitely capable of beating better sides than the ones they've played, but I do feel Italy have better form as it stands, so we'll see.

On the other hand, France were knocked out by Switzerland, a team I'm confident England would have beaten. So perhaps it's just as valid to say all those teams avoided England. France, Portugal and Belgium weren't good enough to get to the latter stages. Italy look good and appear the team likeliest to stop England.

England are a decent side and done well. To have played Croatia, Germany, Czech and Scotland and not lost a goal is impressive, despite most games at Wembley. However, there's no question the competition is the weakest it's been in years. This England side would not get close to Spain or France from just a few years ago. Only team I can see giving them a game is Italy at this point.

:agree:
Germany, poor as they were imagined to be, papped Portugal soundly and we’d probably all be thinking / hoping Portugal would’ve given England a game somehow.
It’s sore to watch but they’re where they are on good results and largely effective performances . I think they’ll win it, they are in good shape and thought that before last nights stroll and subsequent hysteria. Gotta hope Rio Ferdinand and Jermaine Jenasw get the **** s or something first though.

I don't have a chip on my shoulder about England and I'll be perfectly comfortable if they win the tournament. Scotland are not in the same league as Southgate's team, that's a given, but the left side of the draw was much tougher than England's side. Every person I've spoken to about it in York feels the same and they're all England fans.

It’s without a doubt easier, but that is quite literally the “luck of the draw”.

Anyone who says they haven’t had an easy run are wrong.

If say Italy win it, they will have put in the hard yards.

[A Hi-Bee]

Oh they are a good team alright, with a population 10 times the size of ours, how much have they spent to get to this stage, with a relatively easy run to the semi final they bloody well should be favourites to win this and if you look at their record over the past 50 years and compare it like for like with the other 4 major football playing countries they are in fact pretty pisch. they get to play most of their games at home but according to some this does not give an advantage **** right off this is a huge advantage. Consider travelling to butt **** nowhere and back for a round trip of 5,000 miles playing a game in Asia in temps over 35 degrees, not going to listen to anyone saying they have not had it easier than some other teams and they are about to meet one of them in the semi final which the pundits tell us is just a formality on the way to it coming home!!!wherever ****ing home is...even Boris is at it, call it soar grapes I for one is sick to ma back teeff taking ***** of them. Did they manage to beat us, with all there multi millions did they **** I demand that we get to say we are at the very least joint Euro chumps, or is it champs, Kane is a ****in cheating ***** as well.

France are a stronger personel wise than 3 or 5 years ago. They just fell to bits.

Its not the weakest its been in years. Portugal won the Euros in 2016 winning 1 match in normal time. That was a poor tournament. Italy were weak and only done so well because of Conte. France were good but bottled the final big time, and struggled to beat both Albania and Romania in the groups, and ROI in the last 16. Germany were decent but lacked a striker big time. Belgium lost to Wales. This tournament has been very good, a high level across the board, record amounts of goals etc and England haven't conceded a single one.

England have done well, thats it. They're good. No ifs or buts.

[Smartie]

England’s defending impressed me last night during the 1st half.

They were under a wee bit of pressure with Ukraine finding little pockets of space but they were unable to create anything meaningful.

They then stepped it up a bit going forward in the second half and got the goals that killed the game off.

I actually thought that Ukraine were abysmal though. The defending for the first goal (which was always going to be significant) was pitiful and we’d be slaughtering Scotland of Hibs if they’d lost it.

I can’t see anything other than an England Italy final at this stage and ominously England look like they might have a few more gears to me. Italy have probably played more tough matches though, so will likely be more confident that they can take care of a tough match, given Scotland have probably given England their toughest match so far.

Italy have proved me wrong big time and deservedly beat the number one ranked team in the world. Some of their football was fantastic. England have won the games I'd have expected them to win apart from against us. I expect England to beat Denmark and reach the final. Italy or Spain will be a step up from anyone England have faced so far but with the final at Wembley will give them another huge advantage.

[ekhibee]

Germany weren't that bad, England beat them fair and square.

Portugal were poor against Germany but still put 3 past Hungary, and Germany were very fortunate to get anything against Hungary. In at least 2 of their games Germany didn't play with any recognized strikers. You're quite right to say England beat them fair and square but this German team is a very ordinary one. Compare them with the team that thrashed Brazil and went on to win the 2014 World Cup, the only European team to win it outside Europe, and there is obviously no comparison, I hope you agree. Even with all the top class players that Belgium have, Italy still beat them and deservedly so. IMO that is much better form than beating an average German side and a poor Ukrainian team but you might argue otherwise. On that basis I would pick Italy as the best team in the tournament so far, but I certainly wouldn't dismiss England lightly.

germany are certainly poorer than 2014, but they're far from Rubbish. They'll be right back in there with a very similar squad in 18 months time with Flick in charge.

Italy have been the best side, but struggled past a very average Austria side.

But we’re not playing teams from a few years ago! We’re playing teams from this year and so far no one has scored against us, get over it. Of course it’s the weakest it’s probably ever been especially if England were to win it!

[flash]

It's been a great tournament with some cracking games.
We are down to the last four with all of the teams left having a chance of lifting the trophy.
Personally I like this England team and I like Southgate as a human being so I can live with them winning it.
If I had to pick I have a wee sneaky for Spain especially if one of the strikers hits form at the right time.
Looking forward to the last wee bit of what has been one of the best tournies I have seen in my time.

Agree it’s been a good tournament.

I’m tired of people saying that ‘obviously the champions league is the pinnacle now’.

Obviously international sides aren’t as intensively coached as club teams but the quality of football has been good, and it’s more engrossing as a neutral than some clash between two clubs bankrolled by oligarchs or oil states.

Totally agree. Hibs are my first love and always will be but much prefer international tournaments to club ones.

[hibsbollah]

I’m tired of people saying that ‘obviously the champions league is the pinnacle now

:agree: Obviously on a purely technical level it’s true, because a manager like Pep has opportunities daily to transform a group of players into a tactical machine. International tournaments are far less tactically complex, it’s much more about winning individual battles and having a system everybody understands. As an armchair fan world cups and european championships are the pinnacle for me, I love the history and the way summer seems to revolve around it no matter who you speak to around the world there’s an enthusiasm that the champions league can’t get close to.

[CJHibby]

Not poopooing England as a team-obviously they have some great players-but the massive advantage of playing at home in practically all their games can't be underestimated..good luck to them all the same.

Generally excellent, not giving needless fouls and mostly ignoring the histrionics. VAR very good too.

Also agree with your summary: Italy favourites and playing great football but England are very solid if a little dull. I think that's going to be the final and think Italy will just shade it.

The Italians play at the tempo a game should be played at. Unfortunately most teams don’t have the required abilities to do it.

Spain have been fantastic.Their passing is so much quicker than in previous games when there seemed no urgency.The better team but they still seem to lack a cutting edge. Think Italy will tweak a few things and sneak it.

The last 2 Italy games have been befitting of being finals, shame they were earlier in the tournament.

It really is hard to call now, but I can't see Denmark beating England.

Italy's intensity looks like it might be catching up with them a bit. They looked a bit tired there and now have the odd player missing or picking up knocks. Hopefully there isn't much wrong with Chiesa.

I say hopefully, I want Italy to win whoever gets to the final. They've been the most watchable team from the very first game and I hope they do it.

I can't remember who said it (was it Klinsmann?) but given that England haven't lost a goal yet this tournament, it'll be interesting to see how they cope if they do lose one - especially if it's the first.

Maybe they should have taken away the stress of losing the first goal by losing the first goal in one of their other games? (Copyright Terry Butcher circa 2014) :greengrin

Sometimes it's better to lose the first goal, is as bad as, being 2 nil up is the most dangerous score!!

I think the Danes are better organised and better coached than the Germans, I don’t think Low really had his players working in that system. And there’s at least 5 danish players who are really world class imo, including the two centre backs and the keeper, which is just where you want your best players against England.

Denmark were like rabbits in the headlights for the 1st 10 minutes or so but they have grown into this quite nicely.

It's pretty scrappy stuff though. A lot of niggly fouls and misplaced passes.
