edinburghowl Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Must admit I’m looking forward to it too. No real expectations but we have two home games and there’s not one game in the group I don’t think we can get a result in. Play well on the day and we’re capable of getting results in any of those games. It’s nice to have a semi decent team for a change, it’s been ages since we’ve been competitive on the international stage and we’ve been playing well consistently for the last few years. We’ve been creating a lot of chances in recent games which is really encouraging, our second string should have scored 4 or 5 against the Dutch. We have the Czechs at Hampden and we beat them home and away recently in the Nations League, Croatia at Hampden, and we’ve never lost to Croatia in any fixture and we’ve played them 5 times. The last games against them were a good 6-7 years ago I think to be fair but we beat them home and away in qualifying in the last ones. It will be tough but at Hampden but we can get a result against them. England is a derby match. On paper you win and you have home advantage too, but you have defensive frailties and we have pace in the right areas which can cause your team problems. I think we will score against you, it’s the other end I’m worried about. I’d probably take 3rd place now as long as we win one game. That should see us through. Even if we don’t go through just being at a tournament for a change is great Denmark and Turkey are my dark horses and I fancy France to win it. Belgium will bottle it again despite their quality. You’ll probably do your usual of getting to the QFs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis Rimmer Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Not feeling the multinational stuff, shows in the studio when they're just in a random one, I like the pundits to be in the country showing us a bit of the lifestyle of the home nation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) Yeah I agree, playing it in many different countries is poor imo. Some how takes away a bit of the excitement and seems less special. Edited June 11, 2021 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
