U21 Euro 2021

[Nymzee]

Well the U21 finals begin today so thought I'd just whack a separate thread for anyone watching the tournament. Games are on Sky, not sure if all of them are, but possibly with 4 games being played each matchday.

4 groups, 4 teams per group, everyone plays each other once.

England's Games:

Switzerland - Thursday 25th @ 2pm
Portugal - Sunday 28th @ 8pm
Croatia - Wednesday 31st March @ 5pm

Some top talent on show and should be a decent watch. Hard to look past the bigger sides like the Dutch or France for the winner though. My surprise package pick will be Romania.

England’s games are on Sky proper, everything else is being streamed on Sky’s YouTube channel due to the World Cup qualifiers and Golf taking up airtime on Sky’s main 3 channels for football, Main Event, Football and Premier League

Is this free on the channel?

Edit: seems free.

Yep all of Sky’s live streams are free, same as BT doing the European finals the past 2-3 years

Commentary might be a bit of an issue mind, as a lot of the Sky big hitters will be doing the World Cup games, Bill Leslie on Wales and Rob Hawthorne on Ireland tonight, Tyler for England (in highlight form as its live on ITV), Ian Crocker for Scotland and either Gary Weaver or Daniel Mann for Northern Ireland tomorrow. I’d guess whichever of the latter two doesn’t do the NI game might do England’s U21 game but who knows

Quite looking forward to this. Dutch and French squads look the best. Then you've got Portugal, Spain, Germany. In terms of talent England are up there IMO, but the manager is the main weakness.

Oh I don't mind this commentator (Italy game) - he does the some European footy I watch.

The overrated enigma that is Sandro Tonali (Zat's fancy boy) being crap yet again.

Second red card for Italy

Not going to pretend to have seen him more than a handful of times but even in that sample you'd expect to see something noteworthy and I don't think I ever have.

It's the hair and the nationality.

He's one of those players where you see what he could be and ignore that he's not actually doing any of those things.

I've only seen him this season but he's been extremely average.

Netherlands game is a cracker. Kluivert assists the opener then a screamer free-kick levels for Romania.
