Who's going to win?










I can't see past France winning.

I hope Wales make another run like Euro 2016 although they have a very tricky group to get out of!

Well done to azuarc for finishing 67 places above me in the 2020 GOTD Guru Contest!

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

Seems like it'll be a slow and attritional tournament because everyone's tired, but we'll see

I know, just call it what it is!

I still find it ridiculous that so many teams can qualify. Its like almost half of Europe.

The fact that you could qualify for last 16 if you finish 3rd out of 4 teams baffles me too.

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.

Oh yeah go my Portugal.

I was actually in Portugal all of last year and was very excited at the prospect of seeing the Euros and the celebration in the country, but we all know how that went.

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.

France, England, or Portugal to win IMO

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.

EDIT: just realised you meant tonight's game lol. I'm rooting for Italy as I feel a Turkey win would make it more difficult for Wales to qualify as I don't think Wales will have a chance against Italy

Yeah, hoping for an Italy win here so we'll have more of a chance of sneaking out of the group.

Copa Amrica has groups of 5 in which 4 qualify for the knockouts.

That's 80% of the teams moving to the next phase

Which top team aside from France is unbeatable right now?

Germany? Spain? Italy?

England just as good on paper as all three of them. Anything can happen in knockout football.

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.

Italy's p relentless.
They're going to be a problem for a lot of side.

Though ignoring the transfer fees, that team's filled with players you wouldn't mind having.

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.

Total madlads from Wales to travel all the way there. I love it, but it's so dumb that they had to make that trip.
