"We seem to have an England v Bosnia thread but not an actual Euro 2024 thread so here it is So, do we realistically think England can win it? On paper we obviously have a very talented squad but I just don't see us going all the way. For me it's ""same old"" when it comes to England. Breeze the group, favourable draw in last 16 and win then up against far superior opposition in the QFs and out. At best I can see us at the SF stage before being beaten again. Winners for me: France, Portugal, Spain Dark horses: Germany - even though it's a home tournament they've been in a consolidation period, could go close Biggest flops: Scotland - no goals scored Top goalscorer: Mbappe I'm just hoping it's a decent tournament with plenty of decent games that's not ruined by VAR (are they using it?) consolidation period but could go close"

Doing ok against a very quick player in Leao Not his strong point dealing with pace

"You clearly aren’t watching the game. He has been ok, couple of decent crosses."

Coufal looking really poor

Martinez wasted Belgiums best team & has enough talent in this squad to challenge. Suspect he will fuck this lot up as well

Hope Portugal get turned over. Just when I thought I couldn’t dislike them more I was reminded that Martinez is their manager. Seeing his massive slap head with grinning smug smile on screen made me want to headbutt the TV. How on earth does he keep getting big jobs?

Half our Euro representatives on show tonight v Portugal Hopefully Coufal gets hold of Bruno Fernandes & snaps him in two

northbankboy68 The obsession with Foden is because he is an exceptional player.... for Man City. For England he just looks lost. I can't decide how much of that is down to him and how much is down to Waistcoat.

Yeah! Nothing more annoying than repetition!

"Every 10 seconds ""expert"" Jenas says ""it really is"" don't know who's worse him or the bimbos"

"France looked absolute lightning going forward. Worked acres of space to run into time and time again and got numbers up. Still think they are the team to beat most likely and they have ridiculous strength in depth, but they aren't unbeatable. Funny seeing Mbappe get his nose rearranged though"

SurfaceAgentX2Zero Yup- jumped the gun slightly there!

"France look rather overrated, much like us."

The tempo of that game was incredible. Kante has still got it

"France sqaud is a joke. Camavinga and Tchouameni, both starters for Real Madrid, on the bench."

This Mbappe wankfest is fucking tiresome

Did anyone notice how long it was between the idiot referee giving a goal kick (when it was blindingly obviously a corner to Austria) and the French going up the other end and scoring?

"El Scorchio 9:57 Mon Jun 17 'That said they've just got themselves out of prison there,' No. Not so much."

What is the obsession with Foden? He runs into more blind alleys than Bennie ever did.

Are the prem players showing low energy and jaded?

"Yup, it was only scotland but the germans looked ruthless and efficient and unlike us they kept their tempo high and their foot right on the oppositions throat to put them out of the game when they had chances to. Could be worse thought. We could be Belgium. Has there ever been a side that's less than the sum of it's parts? Seem like a collection of individuals rather than a team. That said they've just got themselves out of prison there, but they've been fucking dismal."
