Euro 2016

Well on paper Leicester had a bad team too before the season.

 

[Luftstalag14]

Belgium is still very unconvincing. Not good.

 

[Yannik]

On paper, they are by far the worst team. Most of their players playing in the Hungarian league for around 2000€ a month. Dzsudzsák deserves a Ballon d'Or for carrying them just as much as Bale with Wales.

nationalteams are way to inconsistent to judge them "on paper".
If we went by papers then Portugal should comfortably win vs Croatia.

 

[Barcaman]

Watching Cristiano turn to Tristiano on Saturday's gonna be fun.

Yeah, because what Leicester did is something you see every day.

On paper, there is no point in playing this tournament, flip a coin and give it to Germany/Spain.

Not sure if Portugal would win on paper, its fairly close.

Pretty much, yeah. Silly tournament when you look at it like that, innit?

yeah it's close, Portugal has a lot more depth on most positions though.

 

[Morten]

Well, you started it

 

[raskolnikov]

Italy cant even get one shot off against ireland

 

[Jenks]

Ref completely bottled that. Should be a penalty for Ireland all day long.

 

[amircule]

Irelanders are the coolest people on earth.

 

[Horatio]

Squeezing my buttcheeks. Conte has made it really exciting with this formation.

I won't even be that mad if Turkey doesn't advance. Ireland is a nice team with great supporters.

 

[GetIn]

This tournament doesn't feel legitimate to me this time around. You have to be atrocious to not make it out of the group stages, only a third of the teams are eliminated and most of the teams are absolute fodder. Was the expansion to 24 teams really necessary?

Why not let all 50 teams in the tournament in 2020 and have a round of 32?
