steveoath Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Disappointing to go in 1 down. Relying too much on Andy Robertson on the left. We need a bit more creativity on the opposite side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabel79 Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 This is what happens when you don’t play my sweet baby angel boy Kieran Tierney for some reason, Scotland. Do better next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoath Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Tierney got injured in warm ups. We didn't play well. Oh well onto England on Friday! Should be fun (My in-laws are English so I fully expect text abuse if we are horrible). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It was suggested by Michel Platini to celebrate 60 years of the Euro Championships but got postponed from last summer due to COVID. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Poland and Slovakia up next. Both Slavic countries, but my heritiage is Slavak, so will be rooting for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Slovakia won against Poland. First red card issued on a questionable call, IMO. 10 men Poland could not keep pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 In a bit of a stunner (?) Portugal 3 - Hungary 0. Any side that has CR7 is still a formitable side. They are Euro holders for a reason. CR7 scored on a penalty to become the top goal scorer in Euro history with 10. France and Germany up next. I suspect some shenanigans in this one and expect a nil - nil draw, which will virtually guarantee both will advance to the Group of 16 stage.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 France 1 Germany 0 In what seemed like a matchup in the final 8, or maybe even final 4. Not the result I expected. I have a feeling that the Germans, as they do so often, will do just enough to sneak through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Russia defeated Finalnd 1 - 0 in a crucial Group B matchup. Looks like these two will be fighting each other to advance, assuming that Belgium wins the group, which is likely. Turkey and Wales up next.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 De Bruyne is a real trooper. Substituted in to start the second half with Belguim trailing Denmark 1 - 0. This only about 2 weeks after he broke his nose and eye soccet in Champions League final. Assisted on Begium first goal and scored the winner. Begium moves on to the 16.

I think your guys were toying with them and knew what it takes to make it through. I don't know how far Belgium will go, but I expect a quarterfinal. +++++ Big match in prime time tomorrow that I am looking forward to ... Scotland and England. GO SCOTLAND!! MUST WIN!!

steveoath Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Very organised, limited England and we've had a few chances too. I like the midfield today, very nippy about the English. Adams and Dykes look to have a good partnership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys have a good chance against Croatia. They have not looked good this time around. They were finalist in the last WC. The goal differential may come back to haunt you.
