Daquan Kingston Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 With the opening match today, who do you think will be a strong candidate to lift the continental trophy? I'm keeping an eye on Portugal, France, and Belgium. Link to comment
orca112 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Overshadowed by Corona and not in the range of interest for me. But it's one of the rare occasions I am able to see our own flag outside of government buildings flying in the wind so it is okay, I guess. Link to comment
Glenn. Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) All I can say is that I'm overhyped that this pandemic finally get to see some arenas hopefully getting half-filled at the end of this thing. We all know what team is going to take it home in the final against France.' edit: Sorry English folk, but it's not coming home. Edited June 11, 2021 by Glenn. Link to comment

Daquan Kingston Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 4 minutes ago, br4ndon said: it was too obvious lol For real, Insigne is in top form and so is Barella with Chiesa who can always be used in the future to help with those forward runs and build up, but I think Italy's real test will be when they are against a stronger team, because I fear that their midfield will then struggle to help their backline with defensive work, and still have the clarity & strength to build forward, but this is definitely a good & solid start. Also, in competitions like this defenses win games, and Italy sure has that in the backline and Dunnarumma on the goal. Link to comment
For Ever Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Italy's game was basically on point. Turkey was playing defensive and tried to hold it down there, but shit, that's how it went. We already see great saves too. Ward definitely carried through Wales, even if some of the shots were offside (one of which didn't count as a goal, fortunately). It was a great game to watch. Going to keep an eye on Finland as they go up in their first match. Yes, we beat them as Estonians 1-0 but there's much more to come hopefully and we'll see how they've bettered their team from that match. Oh and yeah, my prediction is to either give it to France or Italy. Two astonishing sides with very good balanced teams (sure, France is more balanced, but Italy is worth a good shout). Something Italy lacks in is maybe their midfield, but their defense and attack are definitely on point and on par with what France has to show now. Link to comment
For Ever Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Damn, this has me shivering. I would've never expected this to happen. I might support other teams, but today it's literally example of how soccer can turn from a fun game to watch to something very tragic. Pray for Eriksen, hopefully he'll be fine. Pray for everyone in his team, coaches, players, his family and everyone. Keep it positive, people. He'll make it out. With the medical equipment the world has, it'll hopefully end up being enough. The game was going really good, Pukki had his chances, Denmark's whole team had perfect click, but this just shows what it's really about. Football is not a game, today that was proven. It's much more. 1 1 Link to comment
