Thought I'd better ask as I'm usually doing the football thread admin these days.
So: A thread per group and knockout stage? Or one massive bastard mess of a thread for everything?

Big fred tbh. Nobody is moving threads when a group b game follows a group a game at 3 o clock on a Tuesday.
One Fred is more than enough
No one cares about the group stages, do they?
One thread per stage. So all the group stage in one thread then a thread for each round of the knockouts.

All in one makes it easy to drag back up in the future when we lol at Taz.
Get a sweepstake going you clown
You get a sweepstake going you needy fuck.
I'm going with More Fred's but the Euros format annoys me either way.
:(
But also moar freds.
Not bothered so long as there’s somewhere to post a pic of me in a beer garden not long before England kick off their first game against Croatia.

More threads is great until they're threads on the same topic, then it just disrupts the flow of posts. A thread per stage would be a bit pointless, although it could be interesting to have a poll at the end of each stage to predict the winner so I'm in favour for that alone.
We do it just like we did before.
Thread for Group stages. Thread per round (although could probably merge Semi-finals and Finals).
Individual Group threads are dogshit because the conversation gets split, the things that don't quite relate to a specific match/fixture don't have anywhere to go etc.
One thread per game for pre-match discussion (as well as any 'banter' that could come about) to be locked at kick-off; a new thread for during the game to be locked at full-time; and then a separate thread for post-match discussion and statistical analysis (strictly no 'banter', with warnings/bans handed out if necessary).
One thread is all that’s needed. What’s the point in splitting it up? It’s not like we have separate threads for European / Domestic football.
That's not how we did it last time, which is why I asked.Quote:

Although Lewis' idea is obviously as excellent as it is practical. Possibly a further thread per game for memes, social media posts and speculation on the sexuality of the players involved.
Yeah but those are shit.Quote:

More than a thread for the whole tournament would be a good idea if it was 2008
Remember that time it got a whole sub forum.
The Dutch loved sub-forums > loved condensing things into a package and hiding inside the forum > stefan postma punchline.
you do the work.
So would our personalities.Quote:

I was thinking "Euro 2020(1) Supersized City Tournament thread" as a name or something along those lines.
Why on earth were you thinking that?
Pleb's onto something. I think Pleb and Welby should co-host the Euro threads and coordinate a live recap of events every night at 10pm accompanied by two pundits out of Jermaine Jenas, Jens Lehmann, Paul Ince and Jose Mourinho.
Alternatively, Pleb and Webly (Plebly) could livestream the games and commentate.

Besides, saint's more of a tactics truck type. The 2021 Olympics is happening as well. Should we have a new thread for every event?
Fantasy Football anyone?

Can we have a whip round for the booster seat?
Good ol' Pleb and Ian 'The Ale' Webly.
Put this in the OP @Ian and I’ll also bless us with the Sporting Life Euros preview magazine: https://en.calameo.com/read/00036246...d=fRyXdYCxFqQAQuote:
