Group A: Germany, Scotland, Hungary, Switzerland

[DualityNSNO]

I wonder is there any country in Europe that actually support their neighbors (probably not).

We've been supportive of Romania lately, but that's it really.

Looks like Nagelsmann is jamming all his chips, and planning to let second yellows do his rotating at the back for him in the round of 16 against second place in Group C, most likely England or Denmark.

That strikes me as a bit chancy. He could be replacing all but one of that back four next match. I get wanting to duck the Italians, but is he sure he wants Spain in the quarters? Really sure? They're likely playing one of England or Denmark either way, whether that's round of 16 or quarters.

I'm not sure I would throw everything I have at this one, given the tournament situation.

Probably Denmark, i doubt England gonna feck up vs Slovenia.
Not gonna be easy for them anyway, Denmark is good

Hope Scotland win tonight, come on my Celtic cousins, we took this tournament off to give you lads a chance, don’t let us down

Absolutely detest it when they describe Gulacsi as "former Liverpool player".

He left them 11 years ago and played zero times for them.

 

[Nymzee]

Well, what were you saying?

I'm sorry my postings aren't as up to date as you would like. Pressures of work, and all that...

I'm saying wanting your rival to get to a final and then lose is the most snide thing you can wish for (since this person was trying to suggest he wanted England to do well).

It's like Everton fans wanting Liverpool to be winning the league up until the final day then blowing it.

I really think the best way to approach these tournaments is to just win every game. No real point to trying to duck teams. Just win the games regardless of who is in front.

I’ll be watching Germany v Switzerland.

Why would I choose to watch Scotland v Hungary when there’s a better alternative available?!

Because the Swiss and the Germans have a history of doing right by each other - i.e boring draw.

Knife to a gunfight?

I’ve heard them mention Slot 4 times so far - for no particular reason.

Thankfully the Germany game coverage has started because the Scots build up is really scraping the barrel.

The Germans are thinking as much about the semis as they are the two previous rounds. I suspect they'll take their chances with Denmark/Serbia, Spain, and Portugal rather than chance Italy/Croatia, England, and France.

Of course, all of this is moot if we get a few surprises.

To be honest, I suspect going out to Spain in the last 8 would be considered more acceptable than going out to England.

Moyes sounds bizarrely like he knows nothing about footy. Awful, awful pundit.

Hick na hoo

Yeah. Nobody on the forum even mentioned Jindrich Stanek the other night
