24 teams, only one winner! Who will it be?
Can't wait for the action to begin!
Sadly, I think our southern neighbours are going to win it. They've got some excellent young players and one of the best strikers in Europe.
Probably England's best shout in decades tbh.
England or France surely
Telling me I've already voted ... ah huvnae :confused:
Anyway, went for Engerlund. If they cant win it with the crop of players they have now they might as well chuck it and stop entering tournaments. The only fly I can see in their ointment is France.
Having said that. After their games on Sunday Newcastle and Spurs immediately got on a plane to play each other in a money grabbing friendly in Australia. If that's the attitude England could have a team out on it's feet before they kick a ball ... mental.
Scotland. Easy.
It's between France and England.
Think it'll be England this time.
France for me. England have the players but they have a weak manager who is more worried about the opposition in big games than focusing on his own team.
Yep, I think Southgate is England's weakest link. They have more pressure than anyone else to deal with as well (Andy Murray ending the tennis drought syndrome). Having said that, they've got to be in with a shout.Quote:

Anyway, the more interesting question is can we get out the group at last? :dunno:
Germanys confidence will be shot after they take a beating in the opening game.Quote:

If they can put it altogether they are the team to beat imo.
There were a few weird selections in the French squad but they will be close. I think Spain will do well too.
I do think this is likely to be England's time. 🫤
England will bottle it as per.
France will win it.

Germany. They're starting to click, their players all play in 3 of the strongest leagues in the world and they have home advantage.
ENGERLAND! ENGERLAND! ENGERLAND! 🏴 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
So that’s me officially put the bogey on them by backing them to win! 😜
SCOTLAND 🏴 to get knocked out in first round using the same logic 😜
As long as Southgate is manager of England, with Pickford and Maguire in the side, they won’t be winning anything.
France for me.
Marcus Rashford Raheem Sterling and Jordan Henderson to be left out of England Euro Squad
SSN
Don’t fancy their Manager Gareth Southgate tbh too negative and cannae take penalties
Only ever going to be Scotland. The place will be a celebrating, drunken wreck until Christmas
Pickford is consistently one of England's best players. Never lets them down. Maguire sure, but Pickford is a big strength for them.Quote:

Pickford is our best keeper.Quote:

In all honesty though, they have to be favourites. Glad they've stuck with Southgate. A good manager and they'd already have won the last Euros.
through gritted teeth... England.
Fancied them in the last 3 tournaments, 2018, 2020(21) and 2022 and they've found a way to not win any of them.
They can't underachieve forever, they have the players to do it.
I think it's a final 4 of England, France, Portugal and maybe Germany.
Looking at their squad today though, England have some issues down the left side. Probably going to have Joe Gomez or Trippier at LB (Shaw unlikely to be fit) and no obvious option at left wing.
Without Rashford and Sterling, the only wide player who wants to run in behind is Saka and he's not got that electric pace. They have a few issues to solve to get the balance right but clearly they've got tonnes of quality.
France have been there and done it, they have a great defence and it's hard to look past Mbappe. They're the team to beat
Anyone not that particularly fussed about the Euro’s or just me? I’ll watch the Scotland games obviously and would be delighted to see us do well but international football just doesn’t float my boat. May watch the England games if I’ve nothing on (to cheer on the opposition😂) but doubt I’ll watch other games until very latter stages.
Quality football on council Tele every day for weeks? Cannot waitQuote:

I’ll be drinking pints in the blazing German sunshine a few weeks from today and I couldn’t be more excited.
I wasn’t all that excited for the winter World Cup 2022 and it ended up being the most I’ve enjoyed a football tournament since the 2016 Scottish cup.
