Womens European Championships

[Niigata Jack]

Kicks off tomorrow evening with England v Austria at 8pm

All live on the BBC, should be a great placeholder before the Swans get back into gear.

Aim to keep the comments civil, if you don't care then don't post!

This England side can play fairplay, quality.

Demonstrates the value of a quality coach, man or woman.

Sarina Wiegman would be more successful coaching a mens side than at least 50% of the male managers doing the rounds

Come on Portugal, would love it if they beat Sweden this evening to make it into the QF.

Not forgetting they wouldn't even have been there if it wasn't for Russia being kicked out.

Wow so because Sweden thumped Portugal 5-0 and Netherlands only won 4-1 then that means Sweden come 1st and Netherlands come 2nd

Meaning in the knockouts Sweden go on Englands side of the draw and Netherlands go on France and Germanys side

I would say Englands odds just shortened.

FIFA world rankings have Sweden at No 2, with Netherlands at No 4. Not a lot in it but England are ranked at No 8

Needless to say, I'll be cheering on Spain on Wednesday.

No mugs for certain but I think Netherlands are better, from what I've seen, and the defending champions of course.

It will be tough for them but it will depend which side get into their passing game first and best.

Spain are technically better but nowhere near as mean or clinical

 

[Skippyjack]

Here's my pick France up next.. still 3/1 to win it.. Germany are my next pick.. 10/3

 

[K23]

Iceland scored with a penalty in the 12th minute of added time? WTF?

 

[Pegojack]

Iceland scored with a penalty in the 12th minute of added time? WTF?

Is that the match where the VAR panel took about 8 minutes to look at an incident and then still couldn't decide, so called the ref to the monitor to make a decision?

 

[K23]

There was a ball into the French box and in the ensuing mayhem there were people from both teams falling all over the place. The commentators didn't know what was going on so they looked at a slowmo replay and concluded that VAR were probably looking at 3 possible penalty incidents all occurring more or less simultaneously in the chaos so it wasn't just one incident

 

[JustJack]

The Quarter Finals are here, should be a fun one tonight.

I just don't think Spain have enough grit and uglyness in their team to get past England.

 

[Skippyjack]

Up the Spaniards, why do England hype up everything they play in, they're the most arrogant nation there is

 

[sainthelens]

Right then, feet up and finally gonna watch one of these games. Lets see what the fuss is about.
