OT: Soccer thread

[Neurospasm]

On paper England are a top tier team but whether they play like it in a final is what always comes into question

Donnarumma to PSG. And so is Sergio Ramos, of all people.

Need a petro investment fund or a money laundering oligarch to buy Marseille.

Not too comfortable being the favorites going into this one, boys. Spain is the first team we face that will be able to challenge our possession advantage and make us chase a bit. Spinnazzola being out really hurts as he's one of the few guys on the team without a great backup, and his creation on the left has been crucial. I'm nervous.

Any idea what the economic impacts of today's 3pm Italy/Spain game will have in North America?

Crocodile in the weeds...

Need to press to create counters and take advantage of dead ball situations. If they get their mojo, they will tiki taka you to death.

Italy is the last chance to ensure England does not win it all. If England wins, we will never hear the end of it.

I agree with you, I think with Spinazzola out and with Emerson being his replacement, it becomes a completely different match-up. If Spinazzola was there, I'd agree with saying Italy were the favorites, but not anymore unfortunately.

If Italy loses, I wouldn't have a problem with England or Denmark winning, would be nice to see one of those countries enjoy a Euro Cup. Nothing against Spain, but they've had a good run the last few years

Denmark is the only side I don’t hate with the fury of a thousand blazing suns.

But I am resigned to one of these others lifting the trophy.

If Italy wins I am going to drink a cider while enjoying the celebrations. Might even post my thumb while drinking the cider.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Kinda weird since it’s the English and Spanish who make and drink that swill!

 

[AP79]

Watching this game so far, Italy is hemmed in mostly. I can't see them winning this one unfortunately.

 

[Preston]

They miss Spinny but they were fine
