Posted June 21, 2021 Great scenes in Copenhagen. Especially after what we saw with Eriksen. Enjoyed the frantic finish to that group. That's what we're here for! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2021 The third place situation and who Belgium are playing next is an utter mess. I really dislike the formatting for this year's competition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What, you mean the timed relay race between third placed teams needing to descend through the nine circles of Hell in order to track down Dumbledore and retrieve the Elden Ring to return it to Luke Skywalker doesn't make sense? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2021 So happy for Denmark that they've made it through, looked like it was going to get nervy when Russia pulled on back but they ripped them apart on the counter in the end. Most importantly though today's results mean that if Scotland can beat Croatia tomorrow night we'll be through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 21, 2021 Yeah, Gilmour's positive COVID result isn't exactly the best preparation but I still have high hopes we can beat Croatia tomorrow. @Fierce_LiNk The Euro 2020 wikipedia page has a table that shows which permutations lead to which ties - just click on the knockout stage tab and you'll see it, makes it a bit less confusing! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2020 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 22, 2021 Everyone's so focused on England that I don't think the pundits have mentioned who our opposition tonight actually is in a surprisingly long time. Why am I not surprised? Good that Grealish is getting his start, but it blows my mind that Sancho hasn't had a look in yet. Hope he comes on tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's the kind of player who could do plenty to supply Kane, much more than most other names on the pitch tonight. Edited June 22, 2021 by Julius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 22, 2021 Shaw has been wide open for two or three long passes already on this left hand side, and he's been ignored every time. Already passing it backwards, sideways, and slowing down the play. We're less than 10 minutes in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2021 Can't predict this one. Tempted to say another 0-0, tbh. I told @Eenuh part way during the first game that I couldn't see Kane scoring many goals at this tournament due to the way that he was playing. He's spending too much time too deep in midfield and not really in the higher, influential positions, or areas where he's most likely to score. There's a possibility that he finishes this tournament with zero goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
