Poland v Portugal (ITV, 20:00 - 30/06)
Wales v Belgium (BBC, 20:00 - 01/07)
Italy v Germany (BBC, 20:00 - 02/07
France v Iceland (ITV, 20:00 - 03/07)

Now that the meltdown has cooled off somewhat do any of these teams have what it takes to win the whole thing?

I can guarantee that one of them has what it takes to win the whole thing.

Not sure whether to support Wales or not. Probably not.

4. France

Portugal bollocksing their way to the title, and Nani wins the Ballon d'Or. :drool:

Germany - Italy will be tasty. Both looked good so fancy the winner of that to take it. France look too fragile.

Germany are going to win it. Playing good football, settled team and a cutting edge far above what the others can muster.

Germany have never lost to Italy in a tournament match before, at the World Cup or the Euros (out of eight meetings so far).

Means nothing when they're out on the pitch, but it's an interesting factoid.

Shindig

Where did you get that bollocks statistic? Italy beat Germany 2-0 en route to a World Cup victory in 2006.

ItalAussie
30-06-2016, 05:50 AM
Ah, I wrote that the wrong way around, although I meant the correct thing. I meant to say that Italy have never lost to Germany. Eight meetings, no losses.

1962 World Cup: 0-0
1970 World Cup: 4-3 (aet)
1978 World Cup: 0-0
1982 World Cup: 3-1
1988 European Cup: 1-1
1996 European Cup: 0-0
2006 World Cup: 2-0 (aet)
2012 European Cup: 2-1

It's a pretty decent record, although only two of them were settled with a result in normal time.

Now this is quite astonishing.

In an interview with GQ magazine, England and Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge has offered the startling revelation that he sprays cosmetics on his kit before game. His fragrance of choice? Strawberry-scented moisturiser.

"People might think it’s strange," he said. "But I like smelling it, so it’s not about what anyone else thinks. Fragrance probably shows people who you are as much as your clothes do."

I don't even know where to start.

That's the issue with the current lot. Proper English hardmen would spray paint thinner on their tricot so the fumes keep them at full PASSION throughout the match. Strawberry? Get the fuck outta here.

Spraying perfume on your kit or taking snaps of your platinum toilet is all very well and good when you've actually won something. Doing it when you're an inconsistent, injury prone, mid-table wanker should get you burnt at the stake.

The first five seconds of the studio broadcast to open the show were brilliant, almost certainly better than anything the game will provide. Pougatch opened with 'the world and his wife have had their say', to which Ryan Giggs let out a nervous titter. Pougatch looked really fucking pleased with himself too.

Roberto Carlos must have had a worse record than Ronaldo. He used to consider anything in the opposition half fair game, and every team he played in must have had about three better options at any given time.

Great penalties from Portugal. It'd reflect the tournament well if they win the whole thing without actually winning.

The other quarters should be good to be fair.

A Portugal v Iceland final in which Ronaldo fluffs a few chances to gift it to Iceland would be a dream. The cloud of seethe coming off Ronaldo would be like that volcano.

Also fun fact, the Turkish league has the most number of players represented at the tournament with 23. I think.

Surely the Premier league will have more? All the English players are from the Prem (I think) so that alone is 23.

To be fair. Turkey being the fourth highest is still somewhat of a surprise for me. More players from the Championship too than Ligue 1.

John

I'd have assumed Mert meant the most players still represented at the tournament. Even he isn't that thick.

Probably still wrong though. Most of the Germans are based at home and they have a fair few Polish and Spanish to make up the numbers.

EDIT - Seems maybe he is that thick. :D

Bartholomert

Fenerbahce has the 6th most players at the Euro 2016 though, tied with Bayern and Barca so there's that small victory to make up for my huge whiff.

Most of the Premier League players are total betas so they don't count. Quaresma has for some reason got gang tattoos saying that he murdered 2 people while in prison so he counts for 3. 18 to 25. Turkey wins.

And yes I was that thick. The Turkish commentator said something like that a few games back but I wasn't really paying attention and it's possible it was qualified in some way.

At the beginning of the tournament the Turkish league had the fourth most representatives at the tournament. Christ knows what the number would be now, but Ligue 1 was comfortably the lowest of the top leagues.


Domestic leagues with most representatives

139 – England (103 Premier League, 31 Championship, 4 League One, 1 League Two)
65 – Germany (57 1. Bundesliga, 8 2. Bundesliga)
56 – Italy (52 Serie A, 4 Serie B)
36 – Turkey (36 Süper Lig)
35 – Spain (34 Primera, 1 Segunda)
32 – Russia (32 Premier League)
22 – France (22 Ligue 1)

Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland and Iceland with no home based players at all. Quite surprising that Austria only have one too as I would've though some of the squad players would have come from their bigger teams.

John

Teams with most clubs represented

22 – Iceland, Northern Ireland
21 – Sweden
20 – Albania, Poland, Slovakia

With the exception of Sweden, all overperformed to some degree.


Teams with fewest clubs represented

8 – Russia
10 – England, Ukraine

fuck knows where or when it was, but i remember once a close-up camera shot of some fan when his team were getting beaten, his mate grins and grabs him to alert him to this fact, and his facial expression can easily be interpreted as 'fuck off, we're losing, i'm not giving a thumbs up to the camera like a dickhead'
