We were robbed on the equaliser...the ref did not have a clue about the rules regarding a formed wall and the distance attacking players have to stay away from the formed wall..


Scotland should be awarded the win, and the ref should be banned from refereeing for life

poooh Belgium isn't everything either


that lacklustre 1-1 draw vs Greece


i suspect they'll survive the group stage but in knockout stage it is going to get difficult

just put up our wallchart and bought the Guardian as it has a 70 pages euro supplement (I also have the 442 one). Just about to go to McDonald's with the boy as he is revealing his euro FF team (Pukki Blinders):joker:

You could do your own team Pique Blinders :)

Midfielder Kevin de Bruyne has had minor surgery on his facial injury and will join the Belgium squad on Monday.

The Manchester City man, 29, fractured his nose and left eye socket in a clash with Chelsea's Antonio Rudiger in last Saturday's Champions League final.

Belgium meet Russia in their Euro 2020 opener on 12 June before facing Denmark (17 June) and Finland (21 June).

"The operation only took 20 minutes," said Belgium coach Roberto Martinez. "It went very well, very positively."

Belgium are the world's top-ranked team and De Bruyne is set to be a key player in their bid for a first major title.

"That small intervention was necessary with a view to the long term," Martinez added. "He will not need a long recovery.

Matthijs de Ligt is absent from training today, minor injury worries, so out of precaution he'll rest to not risk anything ahead of Euro2020 opener


last day of training it was today for Netherlands in Portugal, now having returned home for the match against Georgia tomorrow night

He needs to stay safe .. before signing for Barca :)

If he still wants to join the TIBB Euro 2020 (2021) Fantasy Team League, you have my permission to pass the league code to him.

UEFA has worked closely with governments, health authorities and local organising bodies to ensure the safety of fans attending matches at EURO 2020.

Safety protocols relating to the pandemic differ between host nations, and while local health regulations provide the primary reference point for ensuring supporter safety at each stadium, including attendance limits, they are supplemented by UEFA's own minimum criteria. This means that match organisers at all UEFA matches are committed to adopting best practices based on medical advice to minimise the risk of infection.

"We have been working diligently with the host associations and local authorities to ensure a safe and festive environment at the games," said UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin. "I am really pleased that we are able to welcome spectators at all matches for a celebration of national team football across the continent."

How were the decisions around stadium capacities made?
The decisions were taken by the hosts. The key indicator was the projection of an improved health situation in their host countries. Many factors were taken into consideration, including the local vaccination rollout, their plans for reopening the economy and the expected slow-down of the virus due to warmer temperatures.

In many countries, UEFA EURO 2020 had already been part of their national recovery strategy. In addition, UEFA has worked closely with the World Health Organization (WHO) to adapt the WHO COVID-19 risk assessment tool for EURO 2020.

No smoking
As part of its commitment to organise EURO 2020 in a healthy environment for players, officials, organisers and spectators, a No Smoking policy will be in operation at all stadiums.

At most venues, a full smoking ban will be implemented. Designated smoking areas located outside of the stadium bowl will be in operation in Copenhagen and Munich.

How will UEFA make EURO 2020 accessible for disabled supporters?
All stadiums have been assessed in terms of accessibility by UEFA and its partner organisations in working visits before the event.

Accessible seats considering different needs have been identified and improved where they did not previously meet with the required standards.

Dedicated parking is available for disabled and low-mobility spectators. In some venues, depending on the stadium configuration, shuttle services or buggies are available for spectators with additional needs.

Specific directional signage, along with the support of a dedicated team of volunteers are in place to ensure that all supporters can easily reach their seats and equally enjoy the matches.

good win for Portugal (4-0)

Ukraine must edit their shirts before the game on sunday vs Netherlands


thx to russia whom pointed out correctly that crimea is something political, and anything political on the shirts is forbidden


the slogan must be removed, the map doesn't

who else is expecting the first game to be a complete letdown. Italy are always slow starters in these competitions at the best of times

even Eurovision joining in on the euro2020 action

Kevin De Bruyne apparently not playing vs Russia.

yup his broken nose, this game is too soon for him

I'll try and do the match score and goal scorer updates for this also.
