Euro 2020 Archive Thread

Nice for England they had an extra half an hour to play.

I’m glad we wont have to come up against Isak. He looks absolutely unplayable at times, he just hasnt figured out how to turn that into goals. Yet. Next Saturday was likely to be the day he figured it out had we played them.

Probably right, I kept sticking anytime goal scorer bet on him. Then again I got Sterling tonight.

Thank you, mate ! Glad you liked them ! Here is one from 0031 since I realise that past midnight sun setting is quite unusual for many

Mind you, I took it with a mobile camera so lens is not good enough to capture colour variety.

That Emil hit the post Forsberg guy looked a bit like Andriy Voronin.

Turkey v Italy team news

Turkey: Coach Senol Gunes favoured a 4-1-4-1 formation against Netherlands back in March’s World Cup qualifier and will likely deploy the same system again versus a ‘superior’ side, with Okay Yokuslu sitting in front of the back four.

Hakan Calhanoglu is the driving force in midfield, while captain Burak Yilmaz will once again lead the line. Leicester’s Cengiz Under should also get the nod.

Italy: Mancini’s 4-3-3 system gives him the chance to field Ciro Immobile, Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Chiesa in the same forward line-up. However, the boss also has Domenico Berardi and Federico Bernardeschi to choose from up top, so he isn’t short on options.

Veterans Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci will once again sit in the heart of defence. PSG’s Alessandro Florenzi should start at right-back, with club team-mate Marco Verratti potentially starting ahead of Chelsea’s Jorginho in the midfield.

I was not really that bothered about the thought of the Euros, but now more and more looking forward to it.

Bring on the 11th of June !!

I feel I’ve wasted 50p on Immobile being top scorer so come on.

I’m surprising myself by actually looking forward to these Euros. I usually detest international football, even World Cups, but for some reason this has caught my imagination.

I’ll be able to watch the majority of the mid-week games which is nice as I’ll just set it up while I’m at work.

Turkey vs Italy then - expecting an Italy win, they’ve got some good midfielders who should be able to dominate the field and Chiesa is in exceptional form. Don’t think Turkey are pushovers though, I believe three of their starters have just won the league with Lille which brings some extra credibility to their squad. Ultimately I expect both of these sides to progress through the group.

Yeah, for me too, these are the favourites of the group. Both teams in super-form right now, settled, with settled managers, and with two far weaker teams in their group. I don’t see what can go wrong for them.

As for this game, I expect Italy to win, by a narrow margin, say 1-0 or something.

Let’s play a prediction game :wink:. I say 2-1 to Italy.

You mean, like this one?

Rooting for Turkey in tonight’s game. First upset of Euro 2020 incoming :star_struck:

This has got 0-0 written all over it; after all, Italy’s centre forward is Immobile and Turkey’s holding midfielder merely Okay.
