Euro 2020 (In 2021)

... POV probably dictated by where we all are in terms of supporting hence the futility of this.

Disenfranchised England supporters (I'm assuming) going to be in a different place than 'can't believe we are in a tournament' Scotland supporter.

I cant believe I am going to bite!!!!

Which games have been dead rubbers?

Like I’ve said, I don’t think the first 2 rounds mean a great deal when so many teams fortunes are determined by what happens on game 3 and two thirds of the pack are going through anyway after so many games.

The group stage is the biggest phase of the tournament, I just think it should be more vital and decisive in terms of getting through to the knock outs. As it is now in the World Cup since 98 and used to be in the Euros. And is in the CL.

I was fine with disagreeing btw!

Not for me, I’ve no skin in the game. I am happy for some of the teams benefiting from it, but I still think it’s a diluted format. My country did benefit from it in 2016 and I still thought it was lame then

[Buzzo]

I’m giving myself a ‘last word freak’ rep here.

I think the skin In the game is everything for me this year!

Definitely

England’s journey feels pre-ordained. The fact he is still scrambling to find his best team AND formation 2 weeks into the tournament is 100% down to him being a **** coach.

And he was still playing players who didn’t make the squad a week before the tournament.

Have to say I've been pretty impressed by the officials in this tournament. They don't seem to be falling for the 'I've been touched and thrown myself to the floor' bollocks that we see in most Premier League games

[Shaggy]

I can't believe Henderson looks likely to miss out again tonight. He's England's best CM and he's nowhere near the team. If he's fit enough to be in the squad and on the bench then surely he's fit enough to play. Rice is a total myth and a CM of Henderson and Bellingham imo is miles better than Rice and Phillips.

[Buzzo]

I was sure he’d be back tonight?

Declan Rice and Calvin Phillips is not the midfield that will win this tournament for England.

The leaks so far (Paul Joyce has done something in the Times) reckons Grealish will come in for Mount, Walker back in at RB, Shaw stays at LB, Saka might come into the front three and possibly Maguire for Mings. That's it.

[Shaggy]

I'd go something like:

Pickford

Trippier
Stones
Maguire
Shaw

Henderson
Bellingham
Grealish

Sancho
Kane
Foden

No pace in that team but whoever you pick there's going to be major issues

[Kenneth]

Henderson shouldn't even be in the squad. He's been out for months.

Pickford

Trippier
Stones
Maguire

Henderson
Bellingham
Grealish

Sancho
Kane
Foden

I’d definitely play Bellingham also. He looks brilliant. Much better than either Rice or Phillips.

It’s just amazing that he hasn’t bottomed out some of these selection issues.

[Shaggy]

This is nuts.

I think he’s trolling, but with Southgate in charge, who knows. Would be the worst England team in a tournament that I can ever recall.

Let’s hope it goes better for Scotland than that game.
