Is that confirmed? I banked on Navas, Grimaldo and Oyarzabal in Fantasy. I was going to pick Joselu but was less sure of him, so didn't (three players max from a nation in group stage).

Probably but we all know Qatar was about money lining FIFA's pockets. The Euros won't be anywhere near as lucrative for UEFA I would imagine.

That's a good point too. The truth is there's just far too much football now. Like I said about the 16 team Euros pre the expansion, sometimes less is more. They're adding new stuff all the time - bigger World Cups, expanded Champions League and Club World Cup. It's too much and too taxing on...

Probably not possible though as they have to fit in pre-season and tours before the season kicks off in August. That's the consequence of far too much football.

Hahaha sorry mate, it is all banter lol :ROFLMAO: Anyway we better stop going off-topic

True, They will realistically finish second if they beat Spain and Croatia beat Italy, unless Croatia give Italy a hammering which is highly unlikely. If Italy get something though Albania would have to settle for third. Though with four points they'd already be above Hungary in the third-place...

I posted it in another thread, think it's the Copa America one. Short answer is nobody these days, but I have my reasons which I outline in there. You can look for it or I can find it later and paste it to you.

Yeah true, there aren't enough top teams to go around. Less is more and quality over quantity - the Euros were perfect as a 16 team tournament, both in terms of player strength and format (no third place qualifiers). I still enjoy this format though. It would be brilliant if Albania could do...

If Hungary end up being in the top four qualifiers there's a good chance it could be them v Portugal as well.

Maybe not on paper as this Italy isn't the Italy of old in player quality (though I like Barella and a few others), but Italy sometimes find a way in tournaments. Tonight we will find out who get Switzerland in the round of 16 though. It will be one of Croatia, Italy or Albania. If Italy get a...

we won't know who plays who until the exact combination of four group third place teams comes out. There's a graphic on the euro 2024 wiki page.

Good post tbh. I tried to balance my post with some of this but you say it well.

Yamal is only 16 and already knows his football. He probably posted that when he was about 12 too, lol.

yeah even if Austria win i expect France to win too. Be funny though if Austria topped the group.

Best matches left on paper of Round 3 are likely: Croatia-Italy, Netherlands-Austria, Ukraine-Belgium. I think Georgia-Portugal would be a good game too if Portugal had anything to play for - Georgia will probably lose but they've been quite entertaining in this tournament for a small team...

Yeah you make some good points to be fair. Silva for me was technically superior to Lampard, but obviously that is far from everything. Lampard was obviously a quality player, and Silva did play for a better NT. Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets and Alonso all held more seniority than Silva, but to be...

Probably have to play England and France though. Of course it might not work out that way.

1-0 already. Missed the goal as I was getting a drink.

It's a long story, but none. I supported Rangers for years but eventually all the bigotry and sectarianism (not sure if you are aware of the religious 'debate' in the West of Scotland) put me right off. As a kid I loved the club but as I grew up I realised I am diametrically opposed to its...

Yeah, it was the way it was worded. It's all good though. I didn't know that about Barca B. That sucks. I don't support Barca but I believe Pep's Barca team is the greatest club side ever and the pinnacle of beautiful football. I do prefer Barca to RM, tbh.
