Euro: The Official 2024 Euro Germany Thread

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I like Austria to make a run. They've got a real identity and are coming off a strong qualifying cycle.

I really like Austria as well here.

 

[Power Man]

I hate them on the account of 1982

Except Alaba of course

But yeah it's a good team tbh

Hojbjerg, Eriksen and Isak score in a 2-1 win for Denmark over Sweden.

Haaland with a sweet hattrick against Kosovo and in another game I watched tonight France had some issues against Luxemburg but finally won 3-0. Their offense was a bit too dependent on Mbappe and Kante unfortunately looks like a player who hasn't played high level football in 2 years. Clauss with a very nice goal and something that amazed me was that Lux was playing from the back away against France, and doing it nicely at times, but physically they couldn't hold up, and when it was time for subs they completely lost midfield.

Lewis Morgan called up. Any MLS watchers able to say if he's actually any good?

Along with Emil Forseberg he's our best player. Fitness has been his biggest issue but he's really good and I'd actually say he's more important to our success than Forseberg.

No love for Turkey huh?

I will stick my neck out and say that they will be 2nd in their group. They won't get past France though.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

I think. I wish. I hope. I don't know. AKA my predictions.

Round of 16

Germany vs Serbia
Hungary vs. Croatia
Spain vs. Netherlands
England vs Ukraine
Portugal vs Italy
Austria vs Slovakia
Belgium vs Switzerland
Turkey vs France

Dark Horse (aka good shot at going far)

Croatia
Austria

Winner: France

I've never seen England win anything in my lifetime.

I could be wrong, but until they win I will choose other favorites.

I had mentioned them as a possible QF team. Montella has them organized and playing well since he took the gig this past September. I think the demolition at the hands of Austria (tourney darkhorse for me) in March was an outlier.

Too many of us like Austria. They’re going to crash out early, aren’t they?

Sabitzer’s going to miss their last friendly because he needs a mental break and they don’t have the most dependable of goal getters.

 

[Brunkmeister]

I like Hungary. Mostly due to everyones whining about Orban.

I’m also hungry 24/7.

Didn't Turkey just lose two CBs from the tournament, Kabak and Souncy. No idea about the replacements, but they can't be equally experienced at least.

They will have the support from the crowd, but it'll still be tough for them to advance.

Which Orban?

 

[Brunkmeister]

Which Orban?

The controversial one

 

[luiginb]

Which Orban?

I'm guessing the former 90s "liberal" who noticed he could get more political power if he appealed to the braindead and the xenophobic, who historically have been the majority in Hungary (I'm allowed to say it, I'm 1/4 Hungarian)

So you’re only hungry every sixth hour?

Damn you don’t waste any money on food do ya?

Demiral & Ayhan have good experience, though that Ajax kid doesn't.

Neuer not being able to let go is going to kill us at another tourney isn't it? Missed the first half hour+, but that replay was rough on the old timer.

Also feel like, despite wearing the armband, our best lineup for teams that'll sit back against us has Ilkay on the bench:

ter Stegen
Kimmich - Rüdiger - Schlotterbeck - Henrichs
Andrich - Kroos
Sane - Wirtz - Musiala
Füllkrug*

*Havertz, with Nic coming off the bench, against top teams​

Yes, but they just need 2 wins to advance. I like their chances vs Georgia & Czechia...my Dude.

If the Czech’s young defenders hold up, they shouldn’t be pushovers
