France should win, but Deschamps could always screw up the final again like he did in 2016

The fact that you could qualify for last 16 if you finish 3rd out of 4 teams baffles me too. --- Well done to azuarc for finishing 67 places above me in the 2020 GOTD Guru Contest! ...

The 24 team format is unfair tbh. 2 of the group winners end up getting screwed by having to play a second place team. Either keep it 16 or 32.

Yay go my France, hail Deschamps one of the greatest leaders in sports history, probably the best cup competition manager they could ask for. Without him this generation of talents would have just been what Belgium/Holland are.
Kinda got England as the #2 expectation wise, CL winning players, young talents accustomed to winning already. A sound upstanding moral figure as a manager even if he's at times outmatched tactically. No infighting, no major complaints, they poised for a deep run and their fight against racism will still see them be remembered as being on the right side of history. --- Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest. ...

No way are England winning this. People have been going on about them finishing second to avoiding a good team from group F. What they fail to see is finishing second still has you facing the winner of group F in the quarter final. England haven't beaten a top team in knockout football since the 1966 world cup.

People still think Spain are the Spain of 2008-12 That's what I'm saying. France are really the only "top" side that are built and are playing like it right now. I would not pick England to beat them, but some fuckery could happen and France could knock themselves out before England have to and once that happens the door is WIDE open for a team like England or Belgium to finally win a tournament. --- "undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS Smash Ultimate Switch Code: SW-6933-1523-8505 ...

Wales is like the anti-Arsenal. We don't have strikers who are great in the air yet pump crosses in the box for 90 minutesn and hope. Wales have a tall striker but absolutely refuse to put in regular crosses.
