AlpineSummer Posted June 15, 2024 Posted June 15, 2024 Euro 2024 is underway. The Germans over Scotland handily yesterday (5-1) and today the Swiss rolled w/a 3-1 win over Hungary. Spain-Croatia up next. Quote

Well they won the last Euro Cup and have come back so far in this game. Spain has been a major choker since their 3 tourney wins in a row. 1 Quote

People say that Spain play boring, but it's actually the other way. Teams who play Spain play boring. When teams actually play them head on instead of staying in their half/shell then you have games like vs Costa Rica and Germany from last world cup, or this game (first half) today. 1 Quote

England brings a younger side to end up in disappointment again. lol I missed the Netherlands over Poland this morning sleeping in. Denmark is the lone Scandinavian team so I'll root for them over Serbia. England later. Quote
AlpineSummer Posted June 16, 2024 Author Posted June 16, 2024 Fun game 1-1 Denmark-Slovenia. I couldn't see the 2nd half very well watching on the iPhone while spinning on the fan bike, but fair drama. Pulling for England next. Quote

Both games were fun to watch this am, was going for Poland and Denmark due to them having Barça players (even though Lewandowski is hurt). I can never root for England, so going for Serbia in that one, but have plans this afternoon so will miss the game. 1 Quote
Swoll Cracker Posted June 17, 2024 Posted June 17, 2024 I live and die (mostly die) with England. I dont quite know why anymore because they have become so boring with Southgate as their manager. After scoring an early goal, they sat back today and it was so bad that I fell asleep early in the second half. I woken up in time to see them score a scintillating 1-0 victory over Serbia. I think the ceiling for them this year is the quarterfinals. France, Germany, Portugal, and Spain all look like threats to go all the way. I lean toward France and Portugal. Quote

But, the long struggle and endless defending probably doesn't hurt. I only saw a bit, and a few clips, but England does have a shot at growing as the tourney unfolds. No clue on injury remedy timing.

StealthLobo Posted June 17, 2024 Posted June 17, 2024 Belgium definitely wasted its golden generation chances the past few tournaments. 1 Quote
AlpineSummer Posted June 18, 2024 Author Posted June 18, 2024 Didn't watch any today except a few moments. Mbappe got his nose broken. Not fun to play with. Quote
StealthLobo Posted June 19, 2024 Posted June 19, 2024 Was really rooting for Ronaldo to lose, oh well. Spain are pretty much through with the Croatia-Albania tie. As long as they don't lose both their other 2 games. Probably find a sports bar here soon to catch the Germany game. Quote

Well Richard Hamilton found a way to play with a mask. Just imagine the coin that Mbappe can make with the royalties on those Mbappe masks. 1 Quote
