Euro 2024

Maguire may be poor for United, but he has always been fantastic for England

England had a superior squad last tournament as well, Italy on paper doesn’t look strong but that’s never been an issue for Italy, when they’re on they play as a team better than most.

I don’t think Italy can win this comp, but they’re a funny side, they have a nice midfield and back 5, with a good manager, their biggest hurdle is getting out of the groups, they find peace in the knockout games, they can ride momentum as good as any team.

Slabby is good for the NT, Branthwaite should’ve been there and Tomori had a decent season for Milan.

The issue for Maguire playing for United is they will usually attempt to play the high line which he can’t do as he has the pace of a snail that’s been stepped on and gets caught out. When this happens, he panics and makes those comedy of errors that we’ve seen him do previously. The games United played this year where they needed to sit back and defend the low block he looked excellent. England allow him to play to his strengths.

If Naglsmann can get Wirtz, Musiala and Havertz to fire they’ll be super fun to watch.

Portugal have enormous talent but similar to the Poms, culture is always an issue.

The dutch have a sweet back 4 or 5 and a nice midfield coming through, goals will be the hurdle they need to jump.

Didn’t England just recently lose to ICELAND…at home???

Shut up d-ck head

Surprised they even qualified. I support Italy now like I have supported Essendon for 2 decades…with disdain!

At least Italy has lifted silverware in the last two decades unlike Essendon

That’s why I said now. They are very average.

Ah yes, the Dion Prestia of the EPL.

Can’t see Pele missing a crucial penalty…even though he is dead.

Speaking of Euros, anyone watched the Netflix doco on the 2020 Euro Final? Absolutely off the wall, complete carnage…

Yeah did catch that, that Italian fella and his daughter were quite lucky it didn’t end very badly.

Yeah it would’ve been a bloody scary experience for them. The fact at first their tickets were in the England end and security weren’t going to let them go the other side of the ground with the Italian fans, for their own safety I’m glad sanity prevailed.

Just soccer hooliganism at its finest. It’s a good watch.
