The OP seems to be trying to pass himself off as a regular member with regular concerns but reading his post raises questions. He has the hallmarks of an account that wants merits and wants to rank up. It gets somewhat tiresome reading posts that clearly designed to come across and innocent when there is an ulterior motive behind them.

Here are the results of the games played today Sunday 16th June:

Poland 1-2 Netherlands
Slovenia 1-1 Denmark
Serbia 0-1 England



Bellingham scored the only of the game as England beat Serbia and now are at the top of their group table because Slovenia and Denmark drew their game.

These are the games taking place tomorrow Monday 17th June:

Romania vs Ukraine
Belgium vs Slovakia
Austria vs France

One thing that was almost missing from Fury in their unification fight was effective use of his jab. He did not use it enough to his capability and given the length of his arm he definitely had reach advantage therefore it baffles me how (with the exception of rounds 4-6 when he stepped up to dominate the fight) he allowed Usyk to control the centre of the ring and the fight.

When Fury flew in to action and caused problem for Usyk, he was releasing the left hand jabs followed by right hand punches and that was when I thought Usyk was going to hit the canvas and Fury would win. In their rematch if Fury is aggressive and rough, it is difficult to see Usyk winning. I remember Wilder saying he lost a lot of energy and strength when Fury was leaning on to him on the ropes and he felt drained. If Fury does that or if Usyk allows Fury to do it then I think we will see a different outcome.

What makes this an exciting prospect is that Usyk has no intention of letting Fury win and at the same time Fury has no intention of losing 

RESULTS:

Saturday 15th June:
Hungary 1-3 Switzerland  
Spain 3-0 Croatia

Friday 14th June:
Germany 5-1 Scotland


Germany kicked-off the tournament in style yesterday with a stunning win over Scotland. If Rudiger did not head in an own-goal Scotland would have lost 5-0 because they were not going to score themselves.

Switzerland are said to be playing in their final tournament with their golden generation and they will want to make an impact. Spain had a good start to the tournament too.

We are only three games in to the tournament and apart from Germany, no other team looks like they will win it (maybe being the host nation will give them a boost)  

There is one more game to be played today: Italy vs Albania

edit: Italy 2-1 Albania

Italy came back from behind to win the game after Albania scored after just 23 seconds (which is the fastest goal ever scored at a Euro tournament).

Reserved

I thought about this after reading your post. There really is not a huge pool of established managers with a proven track record to choose from right now and maybe that played a part in stopping Ten Hag from getting the sack. I would be inclined to think that he will be sacked next season if they do not finish at least as runners-up or champions in the Premier League. Anything else probably will not suffice.

He seems to be a good manager but the Manchester United job is far too big for him. He was good at Ajax and he could (given time) bring that to Manchester United but in the end the club probably need a bigger personality to get them to an very high level of consistency again.

First of all, I think by the majority of members in the forum would agree with me when I say there can never be any justification for racism regardless of who the racist is and who the victim is. Racism is absolutely abhorrent and is totally unacceptable in any situation or capacity.

In a simple answer to your question, I think it could be because they are a minority ethnic group. If European football players were playing in African leagues, maybe some of them would face racism because they would be the ethnic minority.

With the exception of a few rounds (probably rounds 4-6), Usyk was on the front foot and tried to hold the middle of the ring while Fury was clearly on the back foot. If Fury is aggressive as soon as the first bell sounds, this will be a different fight. Usyk hardly ever allows the opponent to dominate by holding the centre ground but if he gets rattled we do not know how he will cope.

Also, there is a chance Fury could get knocked out if he gets tired by trying too hard to win in the early part of the fight. It will be an intriguing and exciting fight. Fury did not release a consistent flurry of jabs and punches, he did seem reserved therefore he will probably have a different style for the rematch.

As I stated in a different thread, when newbie accounts do not post like a newbie, the chances are they are newly registered accounts operated by a seasoned forum member. Usually they would be part of an account farm for the sole purpose of building them in rank with a view to being enrolled in signature campaigns but sometimes it can be to infiltrate DT for nefarious purposes.

The reality is there are some signs that newbies display that point to alt-accounts and account farms. Your posting shows some of the same traits.

I do not know of Usyk will drop back down to cruiserweight, he really should be concentrating on what is ahead of him at the moment. Tyson Fury is going to come back in the ring for the rematch probably heavier than when he lost, I think it contributed to his defeat because he had to adjust with the change. I think he will be a different opponent altogether if he gets in to the ring at his usual weight.

Both of them now know what the other is capable of doing therefore both have probably understood the weakness of the other. I still think if Fury were to be aggressive against Usyk the same way was against Wilder, in my opinion Fury will win. Fury has no option but to be aggressive and on the front foot in order to try to win but how will Usyk approach the fight?

He posted in this thread after you pointed it out to him but he completely ignored you. What are the chances the OP is someone that is not interested in the topics and posts unless they are used to help his account rank and post count? I have seen far too many accounts behave in a similar manner and hardly any changed their ways. Maybe the OP will surprise us.

As for the topic, does it deserve a valid response when the question itself was not valid?

If Usyk wins the rematch he could easily take the path you suggested and retire to spend time with his family because he would have nothing else to prove to anybody. The dilemma he would face about retirement is to be addressed by Usyk after the winner of the rematch is announced. They had a two-fight deal therefore regardless of who wins the rematch there will not be a compulsory trilogy. Having said that I am sure in the event Usyk loses, their teams will ensure a trilogy takes place.

Is it possible Radcliffe accepted what Ten Hag told him? It seems as though Radcliffe is a tough business-like character that would not care about anything except about getting results because that would demonstrate success. I think without winning the FA Cup he probably would have been sacked and he should consider himself fortunate he has another season.

If this is how things go with Radcliffe, he will probably sack Ten Hag next season if results are not going his way.

Very well spotted. Maybe Ver is not allowed to leave Mallorca but if he were allowed to leave he can theoretically drive to other countries but not via a checkpoint because passports will be checked.

There are 29 countries within the Schengen Area and the way the system is supposed to work is that when someone enters the Schengen Area they are logged in the immigration system and after that can move around seamlessly within the boundaries of the member states. How it works in practical terms is unknown because if all citizens on bail in any one country could travel to another part of the Schengen Area to escape going to Court, it would be problematic. Maybe the EU think tanks covered that scenario.

Having said that, there are still checkpoints and country entry/exit points where passports do get checked because not all people that travel will be EU residents therefore will have passports checked.

Nothing much has happened since the last post in this thread.

According to this article that is a few days old now, Ver is living in Mallorca since his bail was accepted. His lawyer managed to get him out of prison on bail payment of 150,000 Euro. He had to surrender his passport therefore cannot leave the country.

From what it seems, he arrived in Barcelona, Spain in his yacht and was arrested. The Department of Justice were tracking his movements. Somehow they knew he owned around 131,000 bitcoins when he renounced his US citizenship and became a citizen of St. Kitts and Nevis.

Eventually, he will be extradited unless he can secure a deal with the Department of Justice to make a tax payment in return for them dropping their case against him.

Now when I come across forum names such as these I cannot help but just literally laugh out loud  

I would be inclined to ban offensive names but only is a caveat is added.

First, I think members should probably not be allowed to create an offensive name but no matter how brilliant a word filter is added it will not pick up every word. In that event it can be reported and admin can advise the member to change the name before their account will become active again. If they do not change the offensive name the account remains banned. Another option is for admin to forcefully change a name and re-activate the account.

I am sure it sounds harsh to some members, it might be the wrong approach but at we are sharing ideas.

Transfer Window Opens Today and Other News

Everton
Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite looks set to be sold to Manchester United but they have not received an official offer yet.

Chelsea
Boehly wants to buy Michael Olise from Crystal Palace but do not want to pay an excessive transfer fee.

Maybe I am feeling Fury will win because in the back of my mind I am hoping for a trilogy 

Having said that, when you put two very powerful and determined boxers in the ring, anything could happen. Regardless of the world titles on the line, a winner could literally be just one uppercut, hook or surprise punch away. Usyk deserved the win on the day but will he be as hungry and determined in the rematch as much as he was in their unification bout?

As for Fury, if he is determined to set the record straight maybe Usyk will not be able to withstand that sort of pressure and that is why boxing fans are eagerly awaiting for the rematch.

I definitely agree with that sentiment. I locked my thread about him and why he went quiet but then Vod made a post that not only made me laugh but it was extremely accurate.  Maybe he thrives off the attention, we do not know but keeping that in mind (him possibly getting some sort of kick when members discuss him), locking the thread might be a good move.

I guess that is a good signal right on cue for me to lock this thread
