Euro 2016 Thread


Recommended Posts

Euro 2016 starts tonight, who is everybody picking and rooting for? I'm mentally prepping for another Polish meltdown on the big stage, but hopefully they can pull an upset or two.

 

Everyone seems to expect France to pull it off at home, I'm thinking Belgium finally breaks out and wins a big tourney, breaking English hearts in the final.

Oh my what a goal by Payet.

 

I didn't realize how much young talent France has, didn't known Martial and Coman were French.

 

They have so much young talent. The sad thing is that their young defenders (Varane, Zouma, and Laporte) are all injured, so their defense isn't as good as it should be. Rami is basically their 5th CB and he's not real good. They also left Lacazette and Ben Arfa off the roster even though they're two of the best scorers in Ligue 1.

 

Not sure why Tremoulinas and Kurzawa were left off the roster, because Evra sucks now. He almost cost them 3 points today with that awful challenge in the box.

The Euros get their own thread but Copa stays in the general soccer thread?

 

Feel free to start it's own thread if you want. I'm way more interested in the Euro tourney so I didn't think about one for the Copa.

Sigh, Real Madrid's gonna bid $60M for Payet now probably.

 

Yeah I'd be a bit scared if I were a West Ham fan right now. Payet might earn himself a nice payday and a bigger club.

What is with FOX and ESPN feeling the need to given a token analyst spot to former US women players? Both the girl on FOX and Wambach have been terrible and useless. Wait, Wambach when describing Bale's first have goal said she was happy and proud of him. Dynamite drop in Abby, that broadcasting school is really starting to pay off....

Meanwhile, drunk Russian and English fans are beating the s*** out of each other in Marseille

nickeardleybbc: Have never seen anything like this in football stadium. Utter panic in England as some Russians charged. Women and children trampled.

 

(Also I doubt its as one sided as the BBC would like us to believe, but still, sounds like chaos in the stadium and now out of it).

Russian fans getting more of the blame.

 

From personal experience, I have seen some insane behavior out of Russian hockey fans in Moscow, Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg. Wouldn't wish a wave of those hooligans on my worst enemy. Granted, drinking is always involved...some blame has to go around to BOTH sides, but it's like comparing LeBron and Draymond, one is tyipcally the instigator.

Is Robin Ventura managing England too? Certainly some questionable tactics.

 

Has a ton of good attacking talent...sit back and wait for Russia to score a goal in stoppage time.

 

Not sure what Hodgson was thinking.
