Would be scandalous and likely incur the wrath of the footy gods, but honestly not a bad idea.  Playing England in London is not easy, but then you get the Ukraine/Sweden winner in Rome; then winner of Netherlands/Czech/Wales/Denmark in the semifinal back in London.  Its never wise to look ahead, but seems very likely the England/Germany winner will be a strong favorite to play in the final.

Not that anybody would do that but France is the one side that comes across like they don't care who they play, they know they can win.

Honestly, the team in the bottom half that has looked the best is the Netherlands, who have to absolutely love their draw.

Listening to the pundits this morning, the one team Rodney Marsch wanted England to avoid was Germany.  Oops.

With the way Germany has played and the other options being France and Portugal, with loaded lineups, I'm not sure I get that.  Germany will try to dominate possession, which England will be somewhat ok with.  Hummels can't like the idea of having to deal with the speed of Sterline/Foden/Saka plus Kane on the counter.  I think England got essentially the best possible draw they could have reasonably gotten.  I don't necessarily think they will win but I would have made them definitive underdogs against France, small underdogs against Portugal and probably about even with Germany.

France, Belgium, Italy, Portugal and Spain all on one side of the bracket is just... woof.  Five of the six best teams left in the tournament.  Germany has to be licking their chops.

Updated record 13-13-2 (+4.25)

First 12 minutes, England have a goal and already hit the post.  And I cannot get a second goal over the next 80+ minutes in that one.  And in the 2h, England had an xpg of 0.0.  ZERO POINT ####### ZERO.  I turned this game off at the 60' mark or so, but it was disgusting and there is no one that wants to see England lose next match more than me, as they are ####, boring, ####, and I just can't watch this team any more.

Scotland/Croatia game had 2 bookings in the first half, and then well, :x  That's fine, I'd 100x rather Scotland advanced than England, but they just lack the talent.

Will be back this weekend with bets.

 
Locked...okay not locked...but loaded for the playoff round in the fantasy contest.  Tricky to figure out the teams to lean on.

Current odds (via William Hill):

France 3.5/1
Italy 6/1
England 6.5/1
Germany 7/1
Spain 7.5/1
Netherlands 9/1

Portugal 10/1

I think its more of a historical England can't beat Germany in a tourney thing and not necessarily about current form.  

 
Just to clarify - the next "round" is the Round of 16 - you can make unlimited transfers until the first game.

Within that round, you will be able to make substitutes at the end of each actual day - but no transfers into the club until the QFs.

Before the QFs start - you will get 3 free transfers

Before the SFs start - you will get 5 free transfers

Before the Final - you will get 5 free transfers.

If I'm reading this correctly, it's basically saying short goal kicks are superior to long balls as it leads to more direct attacks?

I don't think it is attempting to make any conclusion.  It is just showing raw data.

The number in the hex is the result of any goal kick, not just short ones.

Lalas getting in arguments with other co-hosts after games is nearly as bad as Twellman talking over live play
Click to expand...
Lalas is the result of the Bayless "embrace debate" model.  Say something stupid so that co-hosts have something to talk about.  Unneccessary and moroninc.

 
I want to apologize to the thread for missing the Portugal/France game and robbing us of me and Gator responding to braces from Benz and Ronaldo—or in other words—the most homoerotic thread in the history of this board.

 
Any chance Southgate would drop the Rice spot and replace it with another attacking player? You could play Mount and Phillips in the middle, Grealish in front of them, and then Kane flanked by some combination of Rashford/Sterling/Foden etc. Feels like they should swing for the fences.

Only way Southgate drops Rice is for Henderson.

Phillips is a defensive mid - he would just take the Rice role in that setup.

Yeah I guess I'm suggesting he switch up the formation a little bit. Phillips and Mount can cover an insane amount of ground, I just think it's an opportunity to get more attacking talent out there. 

 
For those of you who don't want to listen to Twellman, the Spanish language Prende is showing all games and is free on FireTV at least.  

Wales +375 (DK) seems like a great value.
