Euro 2020 Thread

We’ve been in three major tournaments in history and we’ve qualified from the group every time.

Contrast that with Scotland who’ve never got out of their group. Ever.

Seems likely we'll dodge Belgium, so who knows.

 

[JustJack]

Job done.

Winnable game awaits versus the Group B runner up on Saturday

 

[CygnusX1]

Nervy stuff.
Well done lads. Getting out of the group stage shouldn’t be underestimated. Great achievement
Now let’s see what else we can do

Denmark I think.

Should have enough to beat Russia in Copenhagen, and I would like them to make the knockouts.

 

[MrSwerve]

Quarter final is a very realistic scenario now.

Robbie Earnshaw has about 5 or 6 different accents in one.

Great achievement finishing second in the group, the draw has opened up and Wales have a chance of going deep into this tournament.

The UK’s independent footballing nations are causing division, according to the editor of a Conservative news site.
Henry Hill, the news editor at ConservativeHome, said that Wales, England, Scotland and Northern Ireland having their own “sub-national” teams and leagues was damaging to Unionism.
“It’s a shame that the UK doesn’t have a national football team of its own during events like the Euros,” he wrote in the Spectator.
“ The game is a natural focus for patriotic pride across the world, but here it can only spotlight our divisions. This seems to have become much more the case over the past few decades, with the rise of nationalism and the apparent retreat of the Union Jack from the stands.”
He added that with “saving and strengthening the Union supposedly one of this government’s top priorities, it cannot afford to neglect the question of sport — and football in particular”.
Merging the football leagues of Wales, England and Scotland was another option on the table, he added.

That should please all the antiSenedd pro Boris bunch

I think 2nd is better than 1st - really do! Den/Fin/Rus then Netherlands. Not totally pie in the sky to get to Semi-Final again!

Italy now probably have to play Belgium in quarter (what a game that would be by the way!).

Would have been really very tough to finish 3rd (Belgium or France in ro16). Glad we didn't fold with 10.

Exactly, it's on, odds against but it's on for Wales.

Henry Hill can go and feck himself.

It's the summer of 2016 all over again, feel good factor, bucket hats and red limbs everywhere...

We will all social distance of course, and respect the enemy called C19, but I can feel a good couple of weeks coming up

Goal difference versus the other 3rd placed teams

You can kiss that goodbye of we play the same way second half.

I'll be happy but amazed if we rescue this, and by that I mean a one goal defeat at worst.

We're all glad that you are happily amazed or amazingly happy. Onwards to Amsterdam!
