1. Adopted also means the team you support you single cell amoeba brain 2. Which is the whole point. When it comes to teams that are equally good Germany don't really have that great of a record lately and should've won more over the years

Speaking of valid criticism. DDW's adopted country's performance on occasions they were not favorites in over the years so Brazil France 2014 etc doesn't count Spain 2008 L Spain 2010 L Spain 2022 D Spain 2024 L Italy 2006 L Italy 2012 L Italy 2016 penalties (arguably they were favorites) France 2016 L France 2021 D Argentina 2006 penalties Argentina 2010 W Argentina 2014 W

You're a cunt not soy

The same old discussion every tournament lately

Agree with the English members. Plenty of examples given of teams playing unsavory football but eventually winning and people only remember them winning not how they played. England are just scrutinized more, rightfully so bcz of the media attention they draw upon themselves 'ah muh best league in z world'

Tuesday 9th July, 2024 Spain 2-0 France, 20.00 Wednesday 10th July, 2024 Netherlands 4-1 England, 21.00

Turkey just had a brain fade for 5 minutes and conceded two goals

That is a good point I remember @Tommy mentioning about more Turks than Germans being in the stadium in a friendly between the two in Germany earlier

Cross was good by Guler. The final should be between Spain and whoever is the winner of this match

yeah Pickford was only confusing himself not the penalty taker

England should be happy at least individual moment of brilliance are saving their ass most other teams haven't even shown that.

They beat France last Euros as well

Precisely this. It's the same every tournament with them

It has been held for the most part every two years and since 90s pretty irregularly

Even start so far

Just hope it's not 0-0

Stupid but still insulting hence why he's not given off the hook fined and suspended just not during the Euros.

First thing South America needs to do to make Copa America more important is sticking with one format and make it happen after consistent interval whether 2 or 4 years. Holding it irregularly diminishes it importance

https://metro.co.uk/2024/07/02/photo-proves-jude-bellingham-wasnt-insulting-slovakia-x-rated-gesture-21143104/amp/ the investigation is over insulting opposition like Arnautović not just grabbing cock.

*grabbing your cock towards the opposition bench after scoring. Arnautovic of Austria was also suspended for one game under insulting opposition players last Euros.

That's odd. Uefa's decision on Bellingham also seems favouritism. He grabbed his crotch towards the Slovakian bench after scoring. A 'suspended' ban so he can play against Switzerland, just ban him for one game immediately if he did breached the conduct. If I'm not wrong last Euros some Austrian player also made obscene remarks against opposition and he was banned for the next game.

A more fair bracket for this 24-team format for me. The bracket should be decided based on points in the group stages Team1 vs Team16, Team2 vs Team15 and so on. Spain were the top team with 9 pts so they should play Slovenia the lowest of the third-place teams and . Unless both teams were already in the group together.

Surely England can't play worse than the Portugal France game ?

Indeed Ronaldo has a poor record at major tournaments but I don't agree with the notion that Portugal are that big of a team and they would go wow without Ronaldo. They are a bit of lucky to not have missed a single tournament in recent times when England, Italy, Netherlands have all missed some tournaments over the years. As El Professor mentioned those playoffs vs Sweden, which is one of the many times they flirted with not qualifying and Ronaldo deserves credit for bailing them out in those qualifier matches quite a few times. If not for the expansions I'm pretty sure they would've missed some international tournaments post-Ronaldo

He was good at freekicks early on but became worse.
