June: The Euro 2020-ish Group Stages

[Jimmy Floyd]

We are now slated for the bosch again, which on this evidence should give us zero to worry about.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

wtf is going on?

[-james-]

Good grief.

[Waffdon]

England are definitely winning

[Shindig]

Magyars!

[Yevrah]

If you aren't on the take with this comment then you are truly broken.

As far as England are concerned? Absolutely. They broke me in 2010.

[Adramelch]

Pogba denied a great goal by Rui Patrictio there.

[-james-]

Euros will be dogshit because format easily the worst take I've ever had.

[Lewis]

Germany look like a great endorsement for the Roy Keane school of management. In 2014 they had four or five Big Characters. Now, for all of their Quality, no Characters. Their Dressing Room must be an embarrassment.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What a save that was by Patricio.

[Jimmy Floyd]

On comes Turbo Timo to complete the farce.

Thomas Müller? So, mein Herr, we meet again.

[CJay]

Awesome day of football so far. 17 goals and counting.

[-james-]

Memes aside Hungary are genuinely mint. Been a match for their opponents in all of their games.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Goretzka :rave:

[Jimmy Floyd]

I reckon we'll give Germany a good hiding.

[Shindig]

There is no justice.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I reckon we'll give Germany a good hiding.

They're probably the best opponents for England because of their horrendous defending.

They're very susceptible to counter attacking.

[Yevrah]

Is that every team we've now had at one stage?

And same here James, it's been surprisingly good. With the format maybe even helping.

[Manc]

Another Germany goal. :uhoh:

[Waffdon]

Germany keeping the ball in the corner :lol:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sane is so fucking shit now.

[Shindig]

Loew looks like he's lost.

[Kikó]

England Germany. Fucking beautiful.

[Yevrah]

England Germany. Fucking beautiful.

:nodd:

[Shindig]

They've got the best part of a week to sort themselves out. :uhoh:

[Jimmy Floyd]

England-Germany at 5pm on a Tuesday with the main event, Sweden-Ukraine to follow at 8pm. Yeah. I'll have to get the first half on the radio on the commute home.

[Ian]

It's a while since we've gone out to Germany. It'll be like welcoming back an old friend.

[Lewis]

Our side of the draw looks alright if we get past Germany.

[Manc]

Our side of the draw is beautiful. Brings tears to the eyes.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Our side of the draw is beautiful. Brings tears to the eyes.

There will be even more tears when Germany dump you out.

[Spikey M]

There's actually a fair shout for dropping Kane against Germany (not that we will). Give them a full blast of Bundesliga and just have every pace merchant up top and let Henderson give them balls to chase.

[Manc]

Have we genuinely got a Pole supporting the Nazis? Unreal.

[Lewis]

Would love to see Mahow deported.

[Shindig]

"I came to this country to hate it. And to get my inheritance."

[Spikey M]

Have we genuinely got a Pole supporting the Nazis? Unreal.

He's English no matter how much he likes to pretend otherwise. He's like those awful Yanks that won't shut up about being "Irish" despite never having had a sniff of the place.

I think.

If he is actually foreign we should (Wind)rush the cunt.

[niko_cee]

Yeah, England's half of the draw is a little too good to be true.

How has that happened?

Germany look shit so it'll be a bit gutting if it becomes their half of the draw and they snide their way to another final 2002 style.

[Lewis]

"I came to this country to hate it. And to get my inheritance."

When he puts the sunglasses on he just becomes even more gullible.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

"I came to this country to hate it. And to get my inheritance."
I was born here.

I don't hate the country, I love it. I hate the national team as it's filled with cunts and they always play such crap football.

I'd never move to another country.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's English no matter how much he likes to pretend otherwise. He's like those awful Yanks that won't shut up about being "Irish" despite never having had a sniff of the place.

I think.

If he is actually foreign we should (Wind)rush the cunt.
I'm absolutely English and would always say so even if I have no English ancestors.

[Lewis]

Hating the country would at least be a good excuse for not supporting England. What sort of reason is that?

[Ian]

I mean it's probably worth doing just to see how pissy it makes people on here.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I did support the team when I was younger.

My first match attended was an English one too.

[Spikey M]

I was born here.

I don't hate the country, I love it. I hate the national team as it's filled with cunts and they always play such crap football.

I'd never move to another country.

Get on board lad. Even Scotland knows it's coming home.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Hope the tabloids get to work before this one. There must be some more dirt on Hitler.

[Spikey M]

I mean it's probably worth doing just to see how pissy it makes people on here.

It's tradition. We've done this at every tournament since, what, 2006?

[Mellberg]

Anyone have the detail on the draw for the rest of the tournament?

[Ian]

It's up to date on Wikipedia. I'll stick it in a new fred in the morning when I'm not on my phone too.

[Lewis]

It's tradition. We've done this at every tournament since, what, 2006?

Ian 'Iain Webly' Webly is spiritually Scottish. Forget him.

[Gray Fox]

Anyone have the detail on the draw for the rest of the tournament?

[Shindig]

Sweden's year.

[niko_cee]

Thank christ we didn't come second in the group.

[Spikey M]

Coming third arguably would have given the easiest route. :happycry:

[niko_cee]

That was actually impossible though (read, reliant on non-shit jock performance).

Wales to bundle out the Dutch?

[Bernanke]

Ukraine - Germany - Netherlands - Italy is as good a route as we'll ever get.

[Don]

The easiest route for England would have been to finish 4th tbf.

[Boydy]

"Easy route" :D

You've got Germany and the Netherlands to beat if you're to make it to the final. And you're not getting past Germany.

[Manc]

You appear to be living in 1974.

[niko_cee]

Well, he is from Northern Ireland. Isn't it pretty much permanently the washed out dystopia of the seventies there?

[Kikó]

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm going to spend the next week or so living in 1943 and it's going to be great.

[Shindig]

Belfast in the 70's, known for its human experience and tranquillity. :D

[Boydy]

You appear to be living in 1974.

:happycry:

[Spikey M]

An Iraian, a Polack and a Nordie walk into a bar...

[Boydy]

...and have a good laugh at the delusion of the England fans.

[Spikey M]

Until the explosion, yes.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Christ, the disappointment of the celtic fringe on Wednesday morning is going to be delightful.

[CJay]

It would not surprise me if Wales have another semi in them this year. Bale is such a difference maker in such a variety of ways they just need to stay solid and he’ll come up with something.

Can see the Dutch coming unstuck soon.

[Don]

They'e gone from 'we're hopelessly shit' to tapping their toes to Baddiel and Skinner on the sly just because they saw an impressive Hungary side again :*********)

The communal jizz pint is currently being contributed to by Mahow, Boydy and I for you all to take a gulp from on Tuesday. We invite further contributions.

[Manc]

Skinny Djalili crawling out of the woodwork. In your own words, WE ARE MASSIVE.

[Don]

Someone called. I couldn't care less about any of this tournament but may as well up the stakes to try and change that.

[Jimmy Floyd]

If it was Portugal or France I'd be downbeat, but with Germany we are due a win and the naive bastards will come onto us like a horny nudist in the Englischer Garten. It's coming home.

[Yevrah]

Was happy with anyone bar Hungary or Portugal. The former would have been a turgid bore-fest while we've played the latter enough in tournaments now. Germany's cool as it's a proper spectacle, even if we shit the place up.

[Lewis]

An Iraian, a Polack and a Nordie walk into a bar...

The only one who can see over the bar is scared to approach it. Thank you table service.

[Don]

We've got to kill off this myth. I'm a 5ft8 which means I'm a giant, both physically and metaphorically.
