    Euro 2024

    I don’t think I’ve seen less enthusiasm for an international tournament then I have for this one (and that includes Euro 2008 where England weren’t playing) for me at the very least it will provide a welcome distraction to a general election campaign that has somehow managed to be even more depressing than the last one (I only decided the day before polling day that I wasn’t going to vote then)

    I don’t get why England are favourites, take away the impediment of Southgate and France have a stronger squad than us (we don’t have any depth in central midfield or defence). I’d like to see us play the attacking quartet of Saka, Foden, Kane and Bellingham….and at least we won’t be plagued with Harry Maguire and Mason Fucking Mount but I think we will do well to get further than the semis.


    France are my pick to win (they were three years ago, but I changed my mind and went with Italy shortly after watching their opening game), England are doubtless a team that can win….along with Germany, Spain, Portugal and there’s even a small chance for Belgium.


    My pick is for France to beat Spain in the final

    We traditionally do a section for these tournaments but given the lack of
    a) People and
    b) Entheusiasm
    I reckon a thread is about right.

    We didn’t I don’t think have a whole section for the last World Cup.

    I’m reasonably looking forward to it for the reasons stated above. Whilst I obviously hope England win, it won’t exactly break my heart if we don’t (I was disappointed by Euro 2020 pel defeat, but can’t say was massively deflated) because club will always matter far more to me than country.

    Just will be good to hopefully watch some interesting games where for the most part I don’t give a fuck who wins.


    Some pelanty shoot outs in the knockouts would be good after high scoring games (I love me a pel shootout when I don’t care about the outcome)

    Should be an interesting tournament. I’m going to say Portugal will win it. Mad that Ronaldo and Pepe are still part of the set up.

    I had a look and yeah, the last dedicated section we had was 2018.

    I'm quite looking forward to it now, I also don't understand why we're favourites.
    I'll be bloody furious if Portugal win because fuck Ronaldo.

    Can’t see that. Not with Roberto Martinez in charge. I mean for sure they have a chance, but I’d put them behind not only us and France but Spain and Germany too

    He literally only posted a couple of weeks ago, probably taking a holiday from this place for a bit
