    So much for these GENERATIONAL TALENT Dutch defenders.

    - - - Updated - - -

    It's really looking like it's going to be between Spain, Germany, and Austria for the trophy. Everyone else looks well below par.
    Austria for the trophy? This isn't 1954 Bro.

    Germany are incredibly overrated - the only decent team they came up against almost beat them.

    Portugal anyone? They have a solid team, albeit led by a retarded coach (not quite as retarded as the cheese faced pig fucker sitting on Holland's bench tho).

    People sleeping on Austria are in for a rude awakening.

    Gary Neville genuinely thinks that England are the only country that has ever had a problem trying to fit good players into their team: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c511yqg0pxeo

    Problem is that many of these guys are young and especially don't have tournament experience. What they do with their clubs means nothing. And how exactly do you include Foden, Palmer and Saka into the same side? You don't. But I'm sure manager extraordinaire Gary Neville has all the answers for us.

    England got booed off by a large section of fans last night and it seems that Southgate is happy to be the fall guy and absorb most of the criticism, as he says it affects the players.

    TBH, I have never seen a Portugal side with this much distributed talent and depth. Wasted on a coach who will be easily outcoached when facing adversity.

    That’s my biggest takeaway from the tournament. Most of these teams are mediocre at best.

    Even Allegri’s Juventus would trouble most of these top teams
    I am actually quite shocked we haven't seen the usual false narrative from the England side that, "The reason they suck is that they're just soooo good. They play too many matches all year long in the most difficult league in professional football so they're all tired now."

    And the usual nevermind that most of the EPL are playing for England's opponents at these Euros.

    that's a legit excuse/explanation for multiple teams though

    some top5 league players already played more than 4000 minutes this season, it's a lot

    ESPNFC pulled this shit last week :D. "Is it possible for a country to have the most physically demanding league in world football and still see its national team win an international tournament? England are about to find out at Euro 2024 as, once again, the Three Lions attempt to prove that the Premier League isn't its biggest roadblock to achieving success."

    So many English pundits are having a whinge that "England have the best player in the Premier League (Foden), La Liga (Bellingham), and Bundesliga (Kane) - we should be dominating games, etc. etc.". It shows such a complete lack understanding.

    How about Ralf's Austria? This guy FUCKS.

    :disagree: You don't see the impact of a system in the modern international game. I'd honestly put Switzerland in contention too.

    I agree, hence why I think Spain is the clear favorite overall. Upsets happen though.

    Retarded coach = it's over for them before it began, we've seen what that can do.
