SirFozzie Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) Paths (mostly) set for the playoff draw Path A: Poland, Wales, Estonia Path B: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Israel Path C : Georgia vs. Luxembourg, Greece vs. Kazakhstan Why does Path A only have 3, Path B 2, and Path C 4? Because three teams need to be sorted to see what team will join Path A, and what two teams are in Path B. That draw will be on Thursday (Thanksgiving US) at 11 am GMT Part of me wants to quip that if Ukraine gets put in Path B, the Israel v Ukraine game will decide who gets US aid first. Meanwhile, here are the Pots for the draw (6 groups, each group will have one team from each Pot) CONFIRMED EURO 2024 DRAW POTS Pot 1: Germany, Portugal, France, Belgium, Spain, England Pot 2: Hungary, Turkey, Denmark, Albania, Romania, Austria Pot 3: Netherlands, Scotland, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czechia Pot 4: Italy, Serbia, Switzerland, Playoff A, Playoff B, Playoff C Group of death would be: Spain, Turkey, Netherlands, Italy.

SirFozzie Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Group D is also no fun. Austria are no joke, and with France, Netherlands and the Playoff qualifier.. someone is going home unhappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 The tournament starts today, with Germany likely hammering Scotland at 3pm Eastern. Who's going to win the whole thing? Portugal or France are my first thought. Germany as hosts should have a shot as well. Can England piece together a defense? (Declan Rice will be a busy, busy man this month.)

RIPPA Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 It is my favorite time of the year - a major sporting event that ESPN basically ignores because they don't have the TV rights! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 (edited) Well I just turned it on and it's 3-0 Germany and Scotland's at 10 men, so something screwy happened. Scotland ain't making it out of that group, so I guess my rooting interest goes to the Dutch. *checks Group D* Well fuck.

ReiseReise Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Red was the right decision, although I don't think there was intent. I watched the first half on the treadmill and it was pretty much one way and one way only with well worked goals, I reserve judgement for the next two games though. Füllkrug's goal was a fine strike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would even add EURO 2004 to the list, England were really good back then and could have won that tournament. Although it was not their home advantage, they had a really good team and the path to the title seemed manageable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Feel good moment as Christian Eriksen scores for Denmark, 1-0 vs. Slovenia. Still remember where I was when Eriksen collapsed. I said to my Dad something bad must have happened just showing the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReiseReise Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 As expected Hungary were tougher opposition. Germans looked shaky on the wings when Hungary attacked with pace sometimes which could be an issue playing teams like France and England. But there is also lots of positive, lots of strong players up front who seem good to great in one on one situations, something our teams were always missing in the past. They weren't perfect today, but they didn't need to be. They still have room to grow, yet they have 7-1 goals and six points and should basically be safe in the knockouts. With homefield advantage, they might actually have the outside shot at winning this some people assumed they would have. It may help that Germany perform better than they did over the last three tournaments, but even the other matches are mostly fun to watch. I have mostly seen first halves of the evening games while training Cardio, but the footie seems good, games are competitive and the atmosphere is crazy. Some great goals aswell. So far, if you don't know what to check out, go for the highlights of Türkiye vs Georgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 Def been better quality of matches than expected, with the expanded field. Lots of scoring too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 England's midfield is so bad. Declan Rice played like he'd never seen a soccer ball in his life before this match. The backs didn't help, giving the ball away numerous times. I thought Saka, Foden, and Watkins all looked good, but they couldn't get even half-decent service. I don't understand why a team with this much talent looks like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
