Spain seems like the easiest pick to top the group, a strong team. Poland with Lewandowski reach 2nd.

Sweden either beats Slovakia or ties. Either way, I think Sweden will be 3rd and Slovakia 4th.

Spain's captain Sergio Busquets tests positive for covid-19


has left training camp immediately, all other players got tested negative

No Euro's for injured Arek Milik, bad news for Poland

a knee injury which he got last month at his club Olympique Marseille


manager Sousa hasn't called up a replacement for him, so this spot will be filled by the already 2nd and 3rd choice in the squad

Poland - Slovakia 0-1

own goal szczesny (18)

tonights match is more interesting i think, Spain (without any real madrid players for first time ever) vs Sweden

Poland v Slovakia 0-1 45'

18' 0-1 Szczesny OG

Poland v Slovakia 1-1 46'

46' 1-1 Linetti (Rybus)

Come on you Slovaks!!

62' Krychowiak gets a red card for receiving a second yellow.

Poland v Slovakia 1-2 74'

69' 1-2 Skriniar

Poland v Slovakia 1-2 FT

2nd upset of the tournament so far (after Finland), so this is shaping up nicely :love:

No major upsets though. I wonder if that might come tonight, Spain are looking dodgy.

Spain v Sweden 0-0 at 48'

Spain v Sweden 0-0 FT

That was probably the most boring game of rhe tournament so far

Spain? Boring? Never...

haha yeah, i always hated watching spain play and i'm glad i chose not to watch it

lol at that poland red card, for one of the experienced players in the whole tournament :laugh:



Spain, well honestly they got a completely new team compared to their world cup, euro successes

and Sweden aren't that bad, i like a couple players of theirs, and they got a pretty neat youth system either, what i can know, since we've seen many swedes come into our eredivisie competition (usually to Groningen, Heerenveen, AZ they got a good scouting eye overall on scandinavian talent anyway)




Slovakia, well they are a decent team i guess, their most famous player in this squad is Marek Hamsik, whom has loads of Serie A experience, with Napoli i think where he used to play for quite some years

that run to winning the World Cup in 2010 by just winning every single game 1-0 (except one loss to, I think, Switzerland, in the groups?), with that suffocating, joyless tiki-taka football, was the most tedious World Cup of all time

I was hoping Spain would not win WC 2010. Hoped that they got knocked out after GS, but to no avail.

WC2010 Spain results: Group stages: v SWI 0-1, HON 2-0, CHI 2-1
Knock out: POR 1-0, Quarterfinal: PAR 1-0, Semifinal: GER 1-0, Final: NED 1-0.

Slovakia's Denis Vavro has been tested positive for covid-19, also a member of staff got tested positive, both are in self-isolation

ahead of the match against Sweden

Sweden - Slovakia now

audience total: 30.000

Sergio Busquets returns to Spain squad, he tested positive for covid on June 6th but is now virus free again


he has barely trained due to self isolation, so not a chance he'll play against Poland tomorrow
