Mikey1874 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Belgium for example have to beat Portugal, Italy and France just to get to the final. That would be epic. Then lose to Denmark or Netherlands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Brown Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) England's record against Germany in knock-out is pretty dreadful. '90, '96 & '98 on penalties. Mexico '70 and South Africa defeats. Any i have missed? Edit: Other than the obvious one that they won.

John Findlay Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 There is always a bit of a surprise package. Maybe this time it is Sweden. Not much being made of them finishing above both Spain and Poland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAndy Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 The draw is looking very lop sided with all the big hitters on one side. Big chance for England or Germany but the rest of the teams in that half will be thinking the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Although all the pre-tournament favourites are in one half of the draw, there is no such thing as an "easy half of the draw". Every single team is there on merit. And every single team in the lower half of the draw will also be thinking they have a chance of the final and will play out of their skins.

redjambo Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 In true Lawsonian fashion (but without the individual scores), here's how I think things may go: Round of 16 winners: France, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Sweden, England, Czechia, Denmark Quarter-final winners: France, Belgium (very close though), England, Denmark Semi-final winners: Belgium, Denmark Winners: Belgium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Hopefully the UK Government will put Germany on the green list for travel so their fans can travel. Or maybe they will want 60,000 English fans. Up to them if they pick all the prospective semi and finalists also so they keep the games at Wembley.

It could be 67,000 for the semis and final. Less for the other games. I can't see a definite report. Some are saying 40,000. Wembley has 2 last 16 games (Italy v Austria the other). Doesn't have a quarter final game. Re travel restrictions just all suggests semi and final should be in Hungary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tian447 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Going for a few predictions based on what we've seen so far: Wales 1-2 Denmark - Wales have been great, but Denmark have got some energy about them and have players capable of scoring. Italy 3-1 Austria - Italians are stepping up a gear, but Austria are capable themselves. Think the Italians just have more to their overall play and will be too strong. Netherlands 2-0 Czech Republic - The Dutch pace will cause the Czechs all kinds of bother. Can't see them getting anything against them in return. Belgium* 2-2 Portugal (Belgium win AET) - This should be a good game. Ronaldo will want the all time international goal scorer record for himself. Belgium are good when they get going. Hard to separate in normal time, but I think Belgium will sneak it before the threat of a penalty shootout. Croatia 1 - 3 Spain - Spain have been poor in the groups, but showed they are capable of some nice movements and will score goals. Croatia will struggle to match their energy in the second half. This should be a good game, but I think Spain will ultimately walk it. France 2-0 Switzerland - A hard one for the Swiss who haven't done much other than beat a terrible Turkish team. France haven't been great, but should have more than enough to get through. I would bet on a draw at half time though. England 1-2 Germany - Germany have been absolutely gash, but don't lose Last-16 games. England have scored 2 goals, and couldn't score against us. I just can't see them getting anything out of this game. Sweden 3-2 Ukraine - I think this will be the game of the round. Sweden have looked damn good in qualifying, and look like they're able to score as many goals as they need to get through games. Ukraine have goals in them as well. Whatever happens, a team in Blue and Yellow will win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
