⚽UEFA EURO 2020 Discussion Thread | Winner: ITALY!

[Welsh]

Had wales to win by 1-0, so to see the second goal go in was a lot of mixed feelings. Although, I am proud of how the boys performed today. If I've learned anything from watching Wales in sport, you should never underestimate us, despite being a small country, and considered to be on the lower end of the scale in football. We are just one of those frustrating teams to play against. I must say though, Turkey were not awful. The game was actually pretty exciting from what I did catch.

I've got Ukraine, Belgium, Netherlands, draw between sweden, and Solvakia, and England, Scotland to draw in the next few days. Bit of a stretch for the England game, but I think Scotland might just frustrate them like we did with Turkey.

And Turkey lost in the end! I expected some surprises! For me two surprises already, Russia and Wales! Crazy how things turn in the end!

Well most people are expecting alot from Turkey because of their extraordinary results in the world cup and euro qualification matches but it seems they are pretty much done unless they win against Switzerland in the next round but even if they win, there is no guarantee that they might get to the next stage because only top 4 out of 6 3rd placed team will advance

After losing two matches in a row and not scoring a single goal at all, I personally think they are done.

I'm really surprised by some things like:
-snip
These are things I didn't expect

Its not really surprising at all because this is not the end result for the group stage as there will be 3 rounds for each of the groups.

[Woodie]

Italy had another superb game this time against Switzerland. They just dominated the game from the start to the end and became victorious, 3-0.

Italy nolonger plays games of defensive football like the did back in the day, the seem to attack more and score more,, I like this!

Could we be considering them to win the Euros...

Congrats, that was a solid performance from the boys and we could have seen more goals form the Welsh team too, if team captain Gareth bale hadn't missed a penalty.
Regardless strong performance such that Turkey couldn't get one goal in either,defense was solid.

I have seen France VS Germany game..France team looks really good..I think France will win trophy

Another superb performance by Italy showing their amazing gameplay and amazing tactics by their manager. 3:0 again in this match and are in the next round. Turkey is probobly out of the tournament need a miracle to go through to the next round. They lost to wales just 0:2 could have been more. But could have even been a draw if Burak scored that goal in the second half

That's the Power of Ronaldo !!!

That's the Power of Ronaldo !!!

He is just an attention grabber. By insulting a sponsor, who spent billions of USD in various football tournaments in the last few years, Ronaldo has greatly harmed the reputation of UEFA and FIFA. From what I heard, the valuation of Coca Cola went down by billions of $$$ as a result of this incident. These sort of incidents will deter corporations from sponsoring such events in the future. They are not paying this huge amount of money to see their own brands getting insulted in the public. I hope that Coke will launch a lawsuit against UEFA, suing them for the damages.

Italy is the team to beat in this competition they won their two matches convincingly and look unstoppable in their group, Manuel Locatelli scored two classic goals as the Swiss goalkeeper was helpless, as the tournament progress during knock out stages, any team playing the Azurris will have to up their game else they will be knock out by the Italians,  looking forward to watch quite interesting and competitive matches ahead.

So the question comes here that what benefit Ronaldo gained from this act ?
He don't need more fame by doing this , because he is already famous. He is not paid for doing this either. The mystery remain there

Turkey is over and I believe Switzerland will win in their last match against Turkey, although not winning at least a draw is enough for Switzerland to stay in third place. I watched Turkey's match last night and in my view Turkey does not have a clear target in attack, therefore many passes were wasted and did not produce any chances and that is something bad for Turkey.

I find it amazing firstly that as an investor you would sell you Coca Cola shares because
a player at a press conference moved 2 advertising bottles aside and said the word Agua.

Secondly its the sponsors of sporting events who actually front up the funding to enable
them to exist, Ronaldo has shown his arrogance in this move. Everyone knows CC is
not a good drink and Water is #1, but I have seen sports people drinking CC during
tournaments for the energy boost.

Just like everyone knows the cheating and antics which Ronaldo is known for in his
playing career but it never stopped him.

Didnt Paul Pogba do something similar with Heineken at a press conference, seemingly
on muslim beliefs?

June 17th Games:

Group C: Ukraine vs North Macedonia
Macedonia will try to surprise, but in the end I believe Ukraine will win.


Group B: Denmark vs Belgium
It will be the most interesting game of the day. I believe it will end up in a tie. We'll see how Denmark react after what happened in the last game. But I see Belgium with a slight advantage for victory.


Group C: Netherlands vs Austria
I believe it will also be a very balanced game. But the Netherlands must win the game.

You can never be sure. Coca Cola (and those who held the shares of that company) lost $4 billion in a matter of few hours due to Ronaldo. What if I argue that Pepsi or some of the other competitors bribed Ronaldo to do this drama? The fact that Coca Cola is one of the sponsors was known to everyone for many months. So why this sudden reaction? The prices went up further down yesterday and if some of the shareholders go for legal action against UEFA or Ronaldo, then I would say that they are perfectly justified in doing so.

I admit that the game of the Italian team really impresses me. Switzerland may not be the strongest team on the continent, but it is a very uncomfortable opponent. The last time they lost 3-0 to France at the World Cup 7 years ago. The Italians, on the other hand, had their 10th win in a row without conceding a goal. The last time they left the field defeated almost 3 years ago. The organization of their game is at the level of the organization of the best club teams, and I would like to remind you that these players play together several times a year. This is due to coach Mancini.

Today I bet on the victory of Belgium with a handicap (-1)... In my opinion Denmark is a weak team and Belgium will be able to score some goals...
Maybe Netherlands will beat Austria, but I'm not 100% sure...

[cryptofrka]

I'm also fairly confident in a Belgium win today. The only problem is that I expected Denmark to beat Finland, if they lose today they are out of the competition.
Belgium still has Finland which will probably be an easy game for them so they would be happy with a draw today as well.

I will still bet on Belgium, although Denmark looked quite good before the Eriksen tragedy. After that, it's normal that their heads weren't in the game anymore.

Analysts have already reported that the fall in the Coca-Cola stock market is nothing to do with what Ronaldo did. Even before the company conference started, Coca-Cola shares were already declining.

And the reasons for Ronaldo to have that attitude, is related to the eating style he has been promoting among the younger ones.
He's already publicly said that he doesn't like his kids drinking soft drinks and eating fried food. So he doesn't think it's okay to be on TV with Coca-Cola beside him, with his son watching. If he at home he says not to drink, he doesn't want to show that he "supports".

Besides, even Coca-Cola doesn't care much about it. For them what matters is that they talk about him. Not least because people aren't talking bad about Coca-Cola... they're just saying its name.

Denmark must win the match against Belgium today, but Belgium must not lose to Denmark either.

A Tough Match For Gamblers

Has Eriksen been confirmed for the game against Belgium? Actually, even if Eriksen played today, it means nothing to Belgium. Belgium Has Everything Right Now (Same Condition When France Won The World Cup)

Confirmed? He will probably never play football again. He's lucky he's alive, I don't think there's 1 doctor in the world that will ever give him a licence for playing football after what happened - and he needs one according to rules and legislations.

He will probably have to stay in bed for 10 days before they allow him to walk, let alone play football.

You write nonsense. And besides, imagine that corporations have won and after that the players are forced to advertise harmful drinks (do you have doubts about Coca-Cola?) and hide their opinion - will you like this world? I don’t. In addition, Ronaldo's act is not as serious as you are trying to show, no one was hurt by this.
