The Euro 2020 Thread

[NamPikToot]

Continues to bemuse me why Scotland continue to think they are a footballing nation when they are shit at it and clearly aren't. Need to stick to sports they are good at like curling, tennis and of course rugby.

BB i doesn't help when their best, such as they are just walk away. I think they should develop a youth policy ground up and fuk off those who are too "good" for their country

One game to go which is goalless

Easy, easy, easy !!!

[hallelujah]

Easy, easy, easy !!!

Already 4 points clear of the nearest 2nd place, Bulgaria, and with a goal difference of +9.

That's what happens when you're one of the top two teams in international football.

We're a bit bloody good, aren't we?

*Ahem* er, top 4.

No more 2020 qualifiers until September for England now.

Next up- June 7th Nations League semi final away to Holland.....and a chance to win another trophy as prestigious as the '97 Le Tournoi.

[Dillinger]

*Ahem* er, top 4.

Second favourites for Euro 2020 behind the World Champions



Euro 2020 odds...


Other teams of note

Croatia 25/1- looks big
Wales 80/1
Ireland 200/1- looks short
Scotland 2000/1

Second favourites for Euro 2020

Going out in the group stage would be a safer bet.

You staying up tonight for the footy? You've been missing some cracking games

*Ahem* er, top 4.

Top 4 was last year. We're definitely top 2 now.

If anyone knows what the fuck this shit is all about, do explain.

The UEFA Nations League is linked with the UEFA European Championship qualifying, providing teams another chance to qualify for the UEFA European Championship.
There will be play-offs for each of Leagues A, B, C and D in March 2020. Each group winner earns a spot in the semi-finals. If the group winner is already one of the twenty qualified teams, rankings will be used to give the play-off spot to another team of that league. If fewer than four teams in the entire league remain unqualified, play-off spots for that league are given to teams of the next lower league. This determines the four remaining qualifying spots for the European Championship (out of 24 total).

You staying up tonight for the footy?

I am.


Who wouldn't stay up to see Georgia gifted 3 points and quite a reasonable GD+ tally.

[Luigi]

If anyone knows what the fuck this shit is all about

It's quite simple, really.

do explain

Nahhhh.

[Luigi]

Pretty much 20 of the 24 teams for Euro 2020 will come from the standard qualifying.

The other 4 come from the Nation's League thing.

If the group leaders have already qualified via the normal qualifying (which they probably will), then it goes to the next team in their Nation's League group.


This makes the NL groups more important for teams like Scotland, Azerbaikazakstan, and Ireland, who can qualify for Euro 2020 via their NL group standing, having not qualified via normal qualifying.

Fantastic performance and result from the best of the Home Nation teams.

^ Fall asleep did you?

You've beat two 5000/1 rank outsiders by a solitary goal

The Swiss chucked away a 3 goal lead I see against the only other half decent team in that league. Let's see how you fare against those 2.
My money is on the Micks finishing third

[Luigi]

Fall asleep did you?

The goal looks good on youtube.

[Dillinger]

^ What was that tennis ball protest all about?

[Luigi]

The ex-CEO of the FAI that stepped down last weekend has elected to come back as the vice president.

There were, shall we say, Lulu-esque misunderstandings with the FAI finances.

[harrybarracuda]

If you're fed up of watching England giving Steve Smith an easy time, then England are playing Bulgaria right now.

But not if you read this after it's finished, obviously.

[Luigi]

Is that Bulgarian keeper credited with the assist? How many Bulgarian Roubles did he get for that?

[hallelujah]

Next year's European Championship Winners 1 - 0 Bulgaria.

HT.
