Euros knockout draw

[jprfc]

Look at Italy's potential route to the final for winning their group, compared to Wales for coming 2nd in the same group.

Unbelievable

 

[mck1872]

Italy
Denmark
Belgium
Holland
Sweden
Croatia
England
France

 

[GranvillusClutterbuckus]

Well, there will be feck all Welsh folk in Amsterdam over the weekend (I've never even heard an expat here), for which i am exceedingly grateful.

All hail Covid, virus of valley-shaggers elimination.

 

[Scotia]

If England beat Germany they will fancy themselves for the final.

They have had enough practice trying to beat the Germans!
Not very good at it? ....... Maybe penalties ...... O, Dear!
Don't mention the war!!!!

 

[YoungGer97]

Italy v Germany or Denmark in the final i think

 

[WilkinsBullet]

If England beat Germany they will fancy themselves for the final.

All the big guns are in other half of the draw and they are at home in most of or not all games

 

[Kris1872]

Don't mention the war!!!!

They’ve beat them the 3 times it’s mattered.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Can only see The Netherlands stopping England making it to the Final. As poor as England have been that’s a very good half of the draw to be in.

 

[TheDerryend]

Germany are done. They look a tired team who have never replaced the players who bowed out. This lot are nowhere near the class they had a few years ago.

Like they did the last time, they will need to rip it up and start again.

Penalty shootout for England v Germany

Theyve got Germany to contend with first mate

Germany are not what they were but England are pretty diabolical too. Germany actually battered Portugal too, in fairness.

 

[Blue Baron]

I'm sure Nippy will be wishing both of the remaining home nations well for the rest of the tournament..

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Germany have been pish. So have England right enough. German defence will let them down though. Been garbage.

 

[Maximus]

The bold Rio thinks England will beat Germany.

Germany through to the next round then

 

[stonewall Jackson]

England won't beat the Germans. Southgate isn't a good enough manager to sort out the tactics to beat Lowe.

 

[Arkanoid]

Be a Chrimea if either won :shh:

Bet 365 have Ukraine at 250/1, with Russia at 150/1.

 

[Arkanoid]

England won't beat the Germans. Southgate isn't a good enough manager to sort out the tactics to beat Lowe.

Germany are poor(i.e downward spiral) but as proved Vs Portugal, in a big game against another Giant they can raise their game

 

[Elvisger]

What a shiter of a last sixteen game Hampden got. Lol

Such a shame

 

[Dashboard Jesus]

Germany, not great but still through tonight. When it gets to the business end they are there or there about. Wouldn't surprise me to see them make the final.

 

[Gazb1962]

I wouldn’t fancy England to win it.

Scotland should have beat them on the day and blew it.

So if they can’t beat a dross Scotland team they’re not that good.

 

[DurhamBear]

If England beat Germany they'll fancy their chances of making it to the final.

 

[CoopBlue]

The anti-England mob on here getting a bit nervous that England could very well go all the way?? Seems like it. Lovely!

I did warn you

 

[Bazza1985]

Sweden's injury time winner has certainly made England's route (on paper) look easier. Otherwise they could've been looking at Germany then Spain then Netherlands to get to the final.

 

[HerMajesty's11]

If England beat Germany they will fancy themselves for the final.

Fantastic. I was worried watching us in the group but seeing the opposition on our side of the draw I fancy us for at least the semis

 

[Jock Newington]

Italy Holland final. Get on

 

[london_bluenose]

Fans travelling to a 5pm kick off at Wembley on Tuesday will be a nightmare clashing with the rush hour.

 

[ForGodForCountryForever]

Top half considerably stronger.

Italy v Austria - Sat 8pm - London
Belgium v Portugal - Sun 8pm - Seville

Croatia v Spain - Mon 5pm - Copenhagen
France v Switzerland - Mon 8pm - Bucharest

England v Germany -Tue 5pm - London
Sweden v Ukraine - Tue 8pm - Glasgow

Wales v Denmark - Sat 5pm - Amsterdam
Netherlands v Czech Republic - Sun 5pm - Budapest

Excellent line up of games.

France/Switzerland is perhaps the only game too one sided but it does throw up the chance of a comedy upset, which would be superb.

 

[The_Degan]

Fans travelling to a 5pm kick off at Wembley on Tuesday will be a nightmare clashing with the rush hour.

Have folk not got to be in the ground early ? Staggered entrance ? Some as early as 2pm

 

[GovanFront4]

Two pretty even sides with a few quality players scattered across the pitch, genuinely looking forward to that one!

Me too mate. Much rather that than Italy v Austria.

 

[london_bluenose]

Have folk not got to be in the ground early ? Staggered entrance ? Some as early as 2pm

Nobody is really paying attention to that, it depends on the weather.

For example the Croatia game the vast majority came through the turnstiles in the 30 mins before kick off as it was glorious outside.

The Scotland game there were 18,000 already in the ground before 7.30pm.

 

[Forza_Napoli]

Bloody luck of the draw.

I can’t see anyone stopping them on that side. although I fancy Denmark to be a dark horse.

After everything that happened in the first game there's now a realistic path to the final I wouldn't of thought that after full time against Finland.

 

[academical]

Be a Chrimea if either won :shh:

Is that the Irish Republican version of the Crimea?

 

[Blutoe]

Fans travelling to a 5pm kick off at Wembley on Tuesday will be a nightmare clashing with the rush hour.

Is there still such a thing as a rush hour?

 

[JamboReid1874]

Excellent line up of games.

France/Switzerland is perhaps the only game too one sided but it does throw up the chance of a comedy upset, which would be superb.

Think Wales v Denmark will be a cracker

 

[academical]

What a shiter of a last sixteen game Hampden got. Lol

My son and I have had tickets for this game for more than a year and a half. At one stage yesterday it looked like we could be seeing Spain v Czech Republic.

Now it’s a game I wouldn’t open the curtains for if it was in my garden. I’d honestly rather watch England v Germany on the telly.

 

[CumbrianBear]

Sorry if I’ve missed the reason but how have England managed to have every one of their games so far at Wembley?

 

[academical]

Italy Holland final. Get on

Tasty!

But I think France and Germany could have something to say about that. There’s your likely semi finalists right there.

But then Belgium and England could have something to say about that...

 

[Sron Gorm]

German defence looks dodgy, and England struggling for goals, it must be Germany after penalties.
I think I read that all games apart from the Final go to pens after 90mins with no extra-time.

France v Spain
Italy v Belgium
Sweden v Germany
Denmark v Netherlands

France to beat Germany in the Final.

 

[academical]

I think I read that all games apart from the Final go to pens after 90mins with no extra-time.

I hadn’t even thought of extra time! Having to watch an extra half hour of Sweden v Ukraine? Shoot me now.

 

[london_bluenose]

Sorry if I’ve missed the reason but how have England managed to have every one of their games so far at Wembley?

England v Germany should have been played in Dublin but Dublin lost all its games when it couldn't guarantee letting any fans into the ground.

Match was moved to Wembley.

 

[Thommo2006]

The wife is welsh so I'll be following them but other than france who I have a bet on to win it I just hope the knock out games continue in the fashion of the group games, been really enjoyable

 

[jorg_the_hammer]

I hadn’t even thought of extra time! Having to watch an extra half hour of Sweden v Ukraine? Shoot me now.

Sweden v Ukraine should be a cracker. Ukraine have no concept of defence so see it being an end to end goal fest.
Probably be 0-0 now though.....

 

[TwoBadMice]

Thats England out

Dont have the mentality they will be beaten before the whistle blows ive seen that film several times

 

[Blueboy1975]

What a shiter of a last sixteen game Hampden got. Lol

Yup. Shit draw for a shit stadium!!

 

[MiseryHatesCompany]

Which one is the first to penalties?

 

[CumbrianBear]

England v Germany should have been played in Dublin but Dublin lost all its games when it couldn't guarantee letting any fans into the ground.

Match was moved to Wembley.

Can Germany fans travel to England for the game without having to quarantine?

 

[Blueranger45]

it won't be 1966 that England will be mentioning, this will be "Southgate's redemption" in the media

missed the penalty 25 years ago, comes back as a manager to lead his team to victory or in the other scenario, loses as a player and manager to Germany

 

[Jelle1880]

Gonna be between 30 - 34 degrees in Seville on Sunday. De Bruyne is gonna combust into flames I think.

 

[westenclosurebear]

Italy
Belgium
Spain
France
England
Sweden
Wales
Holland

You'll get good odds on that.

Only 4 of those look a good bet.

 

[WeAreAllRyanJack]

Is Wembley going to be at full capacity for the final?

60,000 apparently
