European Championships, Germany 2024

I think with players like Kane and Foden to draw on they'll put a lot of teams to the sword.

It might be their time, tbh. I could easily see it. Last time out I think being hosts led to them not winning that final. They couldn't handle the pressure.

France or England will win it, although you cant rule out Germany at home.

The confidence that Bellingham will be going in with is a factor to. He is a player that should be just left to do his own thing. Make sure other players like Rice are covering and he could easily be the difference in tight games later on, if we get that far.

Will it be on free-to-air TV? Never can guarantee it these days.

My relationship with football has gone from - having a bunch of mates around drinking beer, enjoying the atmosphere, discussing players from each club, to..... if I turn it on, the sound will be down and I'll be listening to music. I won't know or recognise who most of the players are outside of Foden, Pickford, Kane.

Thanks for that Sky.

Expecting a run to the quarters or semis and frustratingly going out. Huge chance of folk fuming at Southgate's pragmatism/conservatism.

Looking forward to it!

Yup, all on ITV/BBC I believe

England will probably meet France in the semis. Can’t see them winning that. Could imagine a repeat of the 2016 final this time. Could see Germany getting to the semis despite all the negativity around them at the moment. With home advantage they might even go further than that

If they avoid France they should have the final again in their sights.

Kane
Bellingham
Foden
Saka
Rice
Pickford
Branthwaite

England’s best chance of winning something in my lifetime I think.

Ferdinand
Terry
Gerrard
Lampard
Owen
Rooney

Almost all of them champions league winners.
Won nothing.

They'll [Poor language removed] the bed in the quarters. Some will blame black players missing pens, others will blame post-brexit passport controls.

Pressure is on England. Question is, do they BELIEVE?

They should do.

Its not like there's a dominant Spanish team around that it becomes a procession.

I don't care who wins it, tbh.

It's not always having the best players, it's about having the best team. That generation were never a team imo, too many cliques. What ever people say about Southgate, he does seem to have them wanting to play for England.

As an hors d'oeuvre, for those who have Netflix there's this documentary starting on Wednesday.

France to win.
England's hype to get the better of them after cruising through an easy group.
Group B the strongest?

Group D is the toughest I reckon.

What free to air sky is this? IIRC the euros is part of the holy grail alongside Wimbledon, the Olympics and World cup. Has to be on terrestrial.

Have they got a knock off badiel and skinner? it's going to be 'coming home' chock solid for weeks. Everything has it's cost I suppose.

BBC and ITV sharing coverage, as usual.
