Dark horses - Serbia
England can do one. I’ll sooner eat a bag of rotten sprouts out of a horse’s arse before cheering them on.
Anybody but Scotland - cheating bar stewards and Jordan has never apologised
Portugal or Italy
Our Celtic cousins? I’ve got family from up there and I know plenty cheered us on before…..��Quote:

I'd like to see the Dutch win it... think they've got as much chance in this one as they have since the talent they had in the 90's.
England will probably do there usual implosion, half look burnt out ( foden, rice etc) and the new ones have no experience of the big time. I thought they were going to do well but not so sure now…Quote:

Such an easy group for England, but hopefully battered by the first good team they meet.Quote:

Hopefully they'll crawl home having been stuffed in all three games.
Never forgive, never forget.
I will be supporting Romania as I used to live there.
I have some Ukrainian refugees in my home so the first game is going to be awkward as I would also be supporting them and of course the smelly socks.
Unfortunately I don't think I can see Ukraine and Romania getting the better of Belgium and the top class dragon slayers of Slovakia in Group E :-(
England's best chance since the last two or three tournaments with world beating players (if you believe all the hype) in abundance.
Fortunately having lots of great players at your disposal doesn't necessarily bring silverware and Southgate, although a likeable chap, just doesn't quite have what it takes.
You need winners at the helm.
I'd like to see the hosts do well and Holland get revenge for '74 in the final.
Id take a punt on anybody to get page out. even giggs
It amazes me that giggs gets credit for a team coming off the back of speed's progress (yes yes coleman gets the credit too i get it). I think things started to nose dive during the last part of coleman's and then giggs's reign.
That said...page has set the bar at ground level again so lets just get somebody in
You just don’t know with England, on paper maybe, but a few look burnt out or have yet to do it at international level, not a golden generation but we all saw what happened v Iceland in 2016.Quote:

We all take the piss out of Shilton for constantly moaning and berating Maradona, but we have fans like you 2 who still harp on about our injustice with Jordan.
We were never winning that game in a month of Sundays.
I’d love to see Scotland beat the Krauts tonight and go on to do well, but it’s Portugal for me, in what is a wide open tournament.
I try not to live with grudges, and prefer to clear them out of my mind ASAP. Move on. Negative energy consumes your soul. If I were in that Wales team, with the same chance v Scotland, I would have done the same. Up to the officials to get it right.Quote:

Hungary to go deep.

That's absolutely fanatical support
If we were there I wouldn't care at all but I hope they do well for those supporters
Most of us remember 77 and 85 and 85 in particular was a game we should have won
It was a poor decision but it wasn't the fault of the tartan army
not far for a weekend away
We’re all hungry to go deep, age is the problem for me I reckon.Quote:

Probably sentimental. But id like to see Italy return to form and become tournament challengers again - i miss what they used to bring
Yes I believe that is the caseQuote:

They've called their version...
"Three Games".
:hide:
Had a chat with a few Scots fans after one of our games against them. They didn’t follow club football just the national side and that’s where their money went. Similar to Welsh rugby ‘fans’ I s’pose although club football up there is a hell of a lot more popular than club rugby down here.Quote:

Excruciating, first time I’ve ever used that word but I think it’s appropriate (another seldom used word:hehe:)Quote:
