[Nicky91]

come on Czechia today :dance:

[bots]

i expect the netherlands to simply score more goals than the Czech's, that's what this team is about.

Belgium vs Portugal is so difficult to predict, so i go with the fact that I just don't like Ronaldo, and want belgium to win :shrug:

[Alf]

Alf predicts the team Southgate will pick.

Pickford, will be the goalkeeper

Walker, will play at right back

The left back will be between Shaw and Trippier, I think he'll go with Trippier.

Stones and Maguire will be the centre backs.

Rice, will be holding midfield

The next selection is a 50/50, will he gamble on Henderson or keep in the Yorkshire Pirlo? I think he'll take the gamble and go with Henderson.

Mount, will make up the centre of midfield.

The two attacking wide players will be Sterling and Foden.

Skipper, Kane, will be up top.


So the team

Pickford
Walker
Stones
Maguire
Trippier
Rice
Henderson
Mount
Foden
Sterling
Kane

[Alf]

While I'm picking teams, the other day I chose my all-time European Championships team 1984 - present.

This was the team I came up with.

Goalkeeper

Schmeichel

Casilas of Spain came close, but I chose Schmeichel. Schmeichel played a major role in helping Denmark pull of one of the great shock wins in 1992.

Right back

Thuram

Thuram was a top defender from France's victory in 2000.

Left back

Maldini

The only player in my team that didn't win the championship, he did reach a final in 2000 and had many great performances in many championships.

Centre back

Blanc

Another of France's 2000 winning defence, Blanc also played well in the two previous tournaments in 92 and 96.

Centre back

Pepe

Pepe was at the heart of Portugal defence for a few championships, including winning in 2016

Midfield

Sammer

Sammer was the best player at Euro 96 where he inspired Germany to victory.

Midfield

Xavi

Two time championship winner and key man in both victories.

Attack

Cristiano Ronaldo

No words needed

Attack

Platini

More or less single handedly led France to victory in 1984

Attack

Iniesta

This was the toughest choice, I also considered Zidane and Henry for this position but Iniesta fits my team better not to mention he's a two time championship winner.

Up front

Van Basten

Star of the 1988 championships, there was no other choice.


Full team

Schmeichel
Thuram
Blanc
Pepe
Maldini
Sammer
Xavi
Iniesta
Platini
Ronaldo
Van Basten

Netherlands not in a good form so far

Potential red card :shocked:

[Alf]

Looking forward to tonight's match.

Portugal are my tips to win the tournament, but they've got tough opposition tonight with the in-form Belgians. This is where football God's like Ronaldo step up, he may be 36 but he's still playing like he's in his twenties.

[Denver]

Netherlands down to 10

Czech Republic wins.
Unlucky Netherlands.

[James]

Bit disappointed in Netherlands.

[Vanessa]

Bit disappointed in Netherlands.

They messed up getting that red card. There was no need for it.

[Cherie]

expected so much more from the Neds

the mystery is how did England beat the Czech's

[Calderyon]

Netherlands v Czech Republic (Czechia) 0-2 FT

68' 0-1 Holes (Kalas)
80' 0-2 Schick (Holes)

[Calderyon]

Netherlands was not playing good today and the red card on 55th completely ruined them. After that Netherlands was playing completely in "scared" mode. And they weren't playing well in the 1st half either, very nervous playing from them.

De Light playing handball was stupid. And they did almost get another red, when Depay tried to hit the ball to the goal using his hand.

[bots]

now thats what i call a goal

[Vanessa]

Belgium 1
Portugal 0

[Calderyon]

Belgium v Portugal 1-0 HT

42' 1-0 T. Hazard (Meunier)

[Dogeatdog]

Good goal by Hazard. Belgium defo looked the stronger team in the 1st half.

[Vanessa]

Omg Portugal need to wake up!

[Beso]

Just eat sponsors this on ITV..all that junk food.

[bots]

i really dislike portugal, i had forgotten how much i disliked them at the last euros

Portugal didn't get no good service to Ronaldo and that's why they lost to a very good goal.

Pepe was awful tonight. Really aggressive. There was no need for it.

Portugal should have been playing Felix all through the competition.

Too scared to play their most talented player — rather like Southgate with Grealish

Surely VAR will revisit that terrible challenge on young Hazard ?

Belgium were slightly better and Portugal were unlucky on in their finishes.

Although KDB getting injured had a lot to do with Belgium's lesser 2nd half.

[Cherie]

Good game for last 20 mins

[Calderyon]

BEL v POR

Shots on target: 1-6
Shots off target: 4-12
Shots blocked: 1-6

[Nicky91]

great match overall, but not for your health


damn Courtois really is a super goalkeeper :clap1: :clap1: and our red devils also had luck from the football gods on our side, according to their Flemish Een commentator


good defending too from Mertens at Ronaldo's free kick, wasn't Portugal's Sanches but he blocked that one



this shows difference between Belgium and Netherlands, how much more ''team players'' they got, compared to all the dutch ego's (and no only player i do like from NL, is Frenkie de Jong, i like him normally at Barcelona, maybe it just depends which players are around him)



Frank de Boer must be sacked, and i'd say give Philip Cocu a chance but the stupid corrupt KNVB bitches are too chicken for that, since with Cocu no more ajax players


which is why i appreciate Luis Enrique's balls with Spain, no more real madrid players (and tbh the spanish players at real aren't that good either so thank god they don't have a biased manager in charge currently)




back to BEL - POR, fabulous goal from Thorgan Hazard wow, and also impressive game from Youri Tielemans, whom was wanted by PSV before having signed with Leicester btw

[Vanessa]

Belgium was amazing. I reckon they could win the Euros this year.

[bots]

i'm getting the feeling that denmark are fated to win it this time, i think belgium are going to be like the netherlands and never win any trophies

[Calderyon]

^ Denmark winning would be a true Cinderella story tbh.

It has crossed my mind too.

[Vanessa]

Yes, I would love Denmark to win.

[Calderyon]

I don't have any clear favorites tbh.

Other than my fantasy assets doing well.

[bots]

yeah, i have no clear favourites, i have a list of teams i don't want to win that include england and germany, but thats it :laugh:

[Dogeatdog]

Spain gifted Croatia a goal. What a blunder.

[Calderyon]

What a mistake by Simon.

[bots]

so far the teams in scotlands group are doing very well, its no suprise they got dumped out :laugh:

[Calderyon]

Croatia v Spain 1-0 at 24'

20' Simon OG

[James]

That own goal. I transferred the goalkeeper in on the Fantasy game.

[James]

Spain have had two great chances also.

[Nicky91]

so far the teams in scotlands group are doing very well, its no suprise they got dumped out :laugh:

:conf:



Czechs result isn't them doing very well, just Netherlands having been a weak as trash team



and we don't broadcast the remaining matches anymore out of protest towards irrelevant rest of europe

[Dogeatdog]

Spain back in it now 1-1

[Nicky91]

why do England never travel abroad? all of their matches so far in London?

[Calderyon]

:conf:



Czechs result isn't them doing very well, just Netherlands having been a weak as trash team

Nonsense.

Czech got through to he quarters so it did them good. And they did very well indeed.

The second sentence is just silly.

[Calderyon]

Croatia v Spain 1-1 HT

20' 1-0 Pedri
38' 1-1 Sarabia

[Nicky91]

Nonsense.

Czech got through to he quarters so it did them good.

The second sentence is just silly.

well lol, i kinda hope de boer gets sacked and now finally someone hired who can turn things back around


but tbh at least we dutch are doing well in other sports last few days :fan:

Max Verstappen 14th race win yesterday, Mathieu van der Poel stage win yesterday and got yellow jersey, today defended that jersey successfully, and now also in wimbledon, our Lesley Kerkhove-Pattinama causing major upset against one of most veteran WTA players (Kuznetsova)


so i guess the only stain here in our media is this loss against Czechs, and fans blame De Boer heavily for the Malen substition for Promes and leaving Depay on while Depay was one of weakest that match




tbh i cannot complain much, i saw it coming, all this arrogance here too by our fans, and on tv with so many oranje ads, and now suddenly all oranje ads are instantly gone


i prefer Belgium's red devils over my own nation, and yes i am proud to say that, and i hope Belgium will do their ultimate best for the title

[Calderyon]

Supporting your country to succeed is arrogance?

That's odd.

Those other results are irrelevant when you are on a thread about Football European Championships.

And tbh your support for teams changes quite a bit.

I’m just pleased for the Swiss who played some lovely stuff and especially for Granit Xhaka who had a load of criticism sent his way last season

all of the teams look vulnerable in one way or another whether it be in attack or defence, i have no idea who will win, i do think as i said earlier that denmark are fated to win it

[Crimson Dynamo]

England manager Gareth Southgate has named his team to face Germany, including three central defenders Kyle Walker, John Stones and Harry Maguire.

The inclusion of Kieran Trippier and Luke Shaw suggests that Southgate will use them as wing-backs or wide midfielders. Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips will provide solidity in midfield.

Attacking threat will be provided by Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling as expected, with the Bukayo Saka completing the side rather than Phil Foden or Jack Grealish.


The teams in full
England: Pickford, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Trippier, Phillips, Rice, Shaw, Saka, Kane, Sterling. Subs: Grealish, Henderson, Rashford, Ramsdale, Mings, Coady, Sancho, Mount, Foden, Johnstone, James, Bellingham.

Germany: Neuer, Ginter, Hummels, Rudiger, Kimmich, Kroos, Goretzka, Gosens, Havertz, Muller, Werner. Subs: Halstenberg, Volland, Gnabry, Leno, Musiala, Sule, Neuhaus, Sane, Gundogan, Trapp, Can, Koch.

Referee: Danny Makkelie (Holland)

*hurriedly updates his fantasy team

[MTVN]

Absolute rubbish Southgate, our bench is stronger than our starting lineup

i had the same thought. How foden can be left out after the season he has had is beyond me. Grealish and Sancho, who plays against these folks every week (very successfully) :laugh:

[Nicky91]

it is not Holland, LT but Netherlands
