Euro 2024
-
One thing I've noticed is that the extended overtime of the EPL means wasting time is back on the menu - I've seen games with extended stoppages and it is still only +4 or +5 at the end. I'm sure it will get worse in the knockouts.
Also a lot of teams in the Euros seem to be "dull and a bit shit" but make it difficult for the other team to break them down. Rare exceptions like Austria are keeping the tournament alive.

Beautiful to watch the Portuguese tantruming left right and centre as they get punished for diving, then get punished for the tantrum.

Always better when both teams want to play. But the stakes are high so lots of bus parking going on

So the two pre-tournament favourites both finish with the same results, albeit France although unconvincing faced much better opposition.
Spain and Portugal look the best so far.
England could still go deep as they have managed to scrape into a half of the draw that could open up for them. They could also be embarrassed in the round of 16 and go home having scored only two goals.
Good tournament thus far. Shockingly drab Group.
edit - Doh GD of 1 Scored 2

That aged well…in fairness Portugal already qualified so not a lot to play for in their last match.
Spain look the best imo but they could do with converting more chances.

Draw for the knockouts looks extremely kind to England if they can take advantage of it.
I’m thinking the same for Switzerland but I have no faith in them taking advantage.
It’s a shame both Spain and Germany can’t make the final.

@Billy-Tell Switzerland might be dark horses to win the competition and at 40/1 with UK bookies are perhaps worth a punt.

Even Spain need to be wary next round, the way Georgia dispatched Portugal was impressive

And that wasn’t a Portugal coasting because they’d already qualified

At this rate they'll be spooffing talcum powder
