Who's ya team gaf?

 

[Boss Mog]

France. Hopefully they can do a repeat of 20 years ago when they won World Cup and Euro back to back.

France has one of the strongest teams on paper but they have a tough group. The first match against Germany will be crucial.

 

[Dr.D00p]

Another chance to see England get knocked out on penalties...awesome.

 

[Coolwhhip]

 

[cormack12]

I'm hoping we see like a wildcard team again like Turkey or Russia really put on a show.

 

[FreedomOfSpeech]

I predict total domination by THE DUTCH!

 

[MrS]

Pulling for Scotland in the knowledge that they'll likely lose every match and be eliminated in the group stage.

 

[Alx]

Why is there at least one country playing home in each group ? seems unfair to the others.

 

[Batiman]

Portugal going for back to back!

Nah for real France is probably the only clear favourite right now. Portugal is pretty stacked right now though

 

[IDKFA]

Honestly, not being biased because I'm English, but I honestly think England have a strong chance of winning this tournament. France are still number one favourites to win it.

My preferred England Starting 11

4-3-3

Pickford

Walker - Maguire - Stones - Chilwell

Henderson - Mount - Foden

Sancho - Kane - Rashford

 

[V1LÆM]

scotland are gonna win it

seriously though...i'm scottish and hate our national team. hope they get kicked out as soon as possible. they don't even deserve to be there. every cunt is gushing over steve the alcoholic. he's a fucking shite manager.

 

[Facism]

yeh we got Italy in Rome on the opening day. Then Baku for the last 2 group games, which is linguistically and culturally close enough to be considered home fixtures for us.

 

[Batiman]

I'm hoping we see like a wildcard team again like Turkey or Russia really put on a show.

Russia put on a good show last World Cup. Scored a lot of nice goals and progressed pretty far. I wouldn’t mind turkey having a good run. They had a good one in 2002 I found I remember correctly

 

[12Goblins]

France is definitely the team to beat, but I think belgium got a good chance.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

I'm ready for ITA to disappoint me.

 

[T8SC]

Henderson

Walker - Maguire - Stones - Shaw

Sancho - Rice - Mount - Foden

Sterling - Kane

Subs - Pickford, Mings, Chilwell, Bellingham, Grealish, Rashford.


England to play Germany in the last 16 and lose on penalties. Standard.

 

[cormack12]

Turkey v Italy coming up on opening night

 

[Prison Mike]

Hoping for positive England

Pick Ford

Walker stones maguire Shaw

Grealish mount rice

Sancho kane Foden

 

[cormack12]

Pickford has tiny arms and fingers like a twix. He will cost England.

 

[V1LÆM]

still hoping we (scotland) get booted out real fucking fast. last time we were in a major tournament was france 98 world cup so everyone is all excited. just get us booted out quickly so peoples dreams can die.

can't believe i'm saying it but i hope england fuck us. well don't really need to hope. last time we beat them was in 1999 and we still got beat on agg. mon england, croatia, czech!

 

[SJRB]

Let's hope the actual matches are better than this fucking opening cermony, holy shit.

Edit: looooool are you serious with these PS2-era computer animated balloons?

WTF

 

[eddie4]

Yeah, woohoo, let's go winning team! Yeah!

 

[SJRB]

O my god it's fucking U2.

I swear to god, the average Twitch streamer has more production values than this show.

 

[ymoc]

Jesus Christ was this opening ceremony sad as fuck or what? They had an extra year to come up with something special and they came up with this?

Covid. And it's Italy. Those fireworks cost millions of euros. Supplied by Fat Tony.

 

[SirKicksalot]

Turkey utterly BTFO lol

 

[llien]

in the last 16 and lose on penalties

Italy lost world championships on penalties.
Stop whining.

[ForAcademicPurposes]

 

[Fret Runner]

Stocked up on some beers for matchdays and I'm all set to be thoroughly disappointed by England like always.
Gotta try and beat that good old England fan pessimism but..
So many jokes, so many sneers
and all those "Oh, so near"s" wear you down through the years

 

[Kenpachii]

netherlands will lose hard, shit team

 

[DKehoe]

 

[Bluntman]

Hungary obviously, but not expecting anything, we have a killer group. Hoping for some good matches.

If we get knocked out, I revert back to rooting for Germany.

 

[Tschumi]

I predict total domination by THE DUTCH!

Jesus i think we found the motion capture actor for craig

"Nederlands ow nedeelands gyet byent" hoho

Seriously though i like the Dutch team and hope they do well

---

I go for Germany, but i haven't particularly high expectations, Just like Bayern i hope they have a time of underperformance that forces then to rethink their approach

 

[Fret Runner]

So lackluster without more fans there. Can't they atleast set up a cut away to the bars an shit of fans celebrating goals?
There was one fan shot of a wales fan celebrating their goal and the people behind them didn't even notice a goal had happened.
The Italy game had a mum in the crowd with a baby that had managed to even go to sleep.

Mini rant aside. The football gods were with Wales in those last 10 or so mins. Nice one, Wales

 

[Batiman]

This is some sad shit right now. Can’t believe what’s going on.. Hope he pulls through

 

[GamingKaiju]

Holy shit that poor lad hope he pulls through. So sad really felt for his wife.

 

[SkylineRKR]

This is horrible for Eriksen. The game isn't important anymore. He's fighting for his life.

 

[GamingKaiju]

Hoping he pulls through

 

[GHG]

Just seen the news about this, really hope he pulls through. Praying for him to make it.

 

[DKehoe]

Scary stuff. Hope Eriksen is ok

 

[Kenpachii]

Holy shit did the guy just died on the field?

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Please be OK Christian.

 

[protonion]

Wish I wasn't watching live...
His face with the "dead eyes" will haunt me for a while.

His family is going through hell right now.
I'm praying for him.

 

[KyoZz]

He seemed awake on the stretcher

 

[DKehoe]

Wildly inappropriate and irresponsible of the director to cut to Eriksen’s wife.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Some Twitter pictures showing Eriksen with his head up and conscious. Would also make sense why the crowd started cheering.

 

[Fret Runner]

Wishing that dude the best.
Shit that is so fucking sad.
