I’ll probably be watching all the games involving England , Spain , France , Belgium, Holland, Germany and Portugal .. but even then it will largely depend on the pundits / commentators .

i'll be watching most games of Belgium, Germany, Albania, Slovenia


have not many interest in Netherlands games but maybe some of the afternoon ones i can watch on the NOS livestream on the computer of course (same what i did with the qatar world cup games)



our commentary though i do like, Frank Snoeks is quite an experience as commentator (not as entertaining as Sierd de Vos's knowledge of Barcelona each la liga game but still)

[Beso]

I will be watching every game and filling in my tournament pullout that's free in most papers.

sorry LT, Parmy

but #TeamDeutschland


i do hope for a very entertaining match on friday though from both sides, and i do see plenty of chances for Scotland, against both Hungary, Switzerland, not impossible fixtures i think, but the many injury problems could bring the level of quality down, one slight worry but where some fall down, other new talent may rise up, to remain optimistic



germany has a goalkeeper luxury problem: Neuer or Ter Stegen both are good and both have their own great qualities to add to the team


i hope Julian plays Andrich in starting 11, he is a real beast in midfield (also at Bayer Leverkusen) who also has a great long distance shot as a nice weapon (same skill rafael van der vaart also had)

[Nicky91]

[Nicky91]

Germany

Emre Can replaces Aleksandar Pavlovic in the squad



so Can was only a backup option??? what the **** he is a good player, deffo not making the squad look weaker but stronger tbh

[Vanessa]

So excited for this. Bring it on!

I feel more excited than ever before for some reason .. did Covid effect the last Euros maybe ?

All our attacking options.. sadly on paper

@Nicky91

Unfortunatly I think scotland will struggle badly, our teams so disjointed atm, bit we do have a belief. We have a tough group though, germany at home in a big competition is a challenge that will be beyond us, and I pray we dont get a hammering the first game. My dark horses for the tournament, hungary as well will be a tough last match of we need a win. They ate soaring atm, and did well without their liverpool star in the team last big tournament. Hes back this time and scored 4 goals during his return in the last few qualifying games.

But my question to you, Nicky is. Who will start in defence for ze germans.?

Tah alongside Rudiger, or Schlotterbeck


with right back being Kimmich


the left back though, Raum or a surprise and he plays Mittelstadt

[Nicky91]

i am fully confident now in another euro win like 1988


especially with powerhouses like Joey Veerman, Jerdy Schouten, Air Virgil, Joshua Zirkzee, Bart Verbruggen, Xavi Simons, Nathan Aké, Ian Maatsen



what offence does poland got, oh wait nothing special after losing lewandowski, milik squareheads

like i said before, if we by some miracle, get past the group stage, that is a major achievement. It's possible we could catch germany on the hop and get a draw in the first game. If we play well, we can get a result against the Swiss, but Hungary are a dark horse to win the whole thing, so getting 3 results in a row is pushing our luck.

I am actually feeling quite bullish about Scotland’s chances ..


One of biggest differences between Scotland and England is that you ( Scotland) never fail to play with unbounded PASSION and determination .

You have some very effective players -


I particularly like the look of these two together in midfield

Callum McGregor

Billy Gilmour


.

John McGinn

Scott McTominey

Andrew Robertson

Kieran Tierney


So Scotland have one of the best midfields around plus a very strong left side

Hopefully McTominey will score a few goals as well

John McGinn has so many years of PL experience too, been through quite all of it with Villa, from struggling to avoid relegation, being a mid table team to champions league/european football ambitions currently
