The 2021 Euros-Match Thread[Pick a Country to follow]

Donnarumma has not conceded 2 goals in an international 😉

england parked the bus  at times counting 9 white shirt in/around their own box IMO they scored too early and with a very pragmatic manager they backed off 

with more adventure they would have win it by now …this has been a jose game plan 

Italy have done all the attacking really not that well at times but they keep going forward and trying 69% possession 

Belotti on, works hard and direct but once again isnt a top goal scorer

verratti off locatelli on

grealish on at last

pickford got away with one turned his back there got lucky

Italy win fully deserved 

but so unfair on that young lad to take one 

its coming Rome😁

70 more shots overall in comp compared to England says it all beaten spain belgium in cracking games 

Roberto Mancini is in tears. What a victory this is for him personally. He has rebuilt Italy from one that failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup finals into the European champions.

They've been superb.

Really outstanding EUROS There have been brilliant matches – Portugal 2-4 Germany, Germany 2-2 Hungary, Portugal 2-2 France, Belgium 1-2 Italy, Italy 1-1 Spain and, on arguably the greatest day in European Championships history, both France 3-3 Switzerland and Spain 5-3 Croatia. 

There have arguably been more fine teams and outstanding individuals, a suitable proportion of shocks and underdog stories, a number of high-class goals and attacking football galore!!  and the  absurd selection of own goals😁

However the format which was a Platini vanity project should never happen again.

 The fragmented nature of the fixture list has meant Euro 2020 has not been played everywhere as much as nowhere. Was it really in Spain when its only games were in Seville? Or Germany when it was just Munich? Or even Romania, which it has never staged a major tournament, if there was nothing outside Bucharest?

It is obvious the five major western European countries have advantages in terms of population, infrastructure and stadia. But they need not be the only hosts, providing there is the logic a proper tournament requires. Joint bids should be encouraged from neighbouring countries; the farce of Euro 2020’s many random venues should not be repeated, and the unfairness in some teams were moving around Europe whilst others didnt
