Euro 2020: Italy win it; morons, encouraged by UK govt., racially abuse England's greatest team since '66.

:lol: Should open a book on who'll be the England fall guy if it goes to Pens. Mings? James? Mount?

[Jenuall]

Guys come on it's going to be fine - remember Southgate broke the penalty shoot out curse in 2018!

It's coming home!

If Ronaldo goes on for another couple of years he'll likely exceed 200 caps for Portugal.

He may need to make it to the next lot of Euro qualifying, where he'll be 37-38. They have at least one more game to play in this tournament, taking him to 179+, seven more qualifiers and friendlies this year for 186+, then probably 7-10 fixtures next year in the run up to the World Cup, plus the tournament itself.

I'd never bet against him though. Only Sergio Ramos has more caps for a European country, and if Portugal beat Belgium Ronaldo will equal him in the quarter-finals. He'll need to play till he's in his mid-40s to beat the current record holder though, a Malaysian named Soh Chin Ann who earned 221 caps between 1969 and 1984.

He should take a leaf out of Pele's book and count his youth team appearances.

And goals in friendlies. Ronaldo's scored 1800 goals and played in 2400 games or something insane like that.

Here's a wee sort-of Euros related question for you, but it's a bit convoluted. There are two international fixtures(that I'm aware of! There might be more) where, on a scoreboard like the one in the screenshot below, the abbreviation of the two teams will spell out the name of one of the countries, while the unused letters of both countries will spell out the other country. Can you name the two fixtures?



I don't know if this one's done the rounds on Twitter or anything, so if you've seen it before obviously don't ruin it for anyone who might not know and want to take a shot.

I saw the answer the other day and so won't spoil it so quickly.

This is going to probably sound really stupid but why is CHE V AJX used in the example? That doesn’t spell a country

It was an example of the abbreviations. CHE AJX obviously isn't a country but obviously he couldn't post a picture of the answer.

If England have the confidence to really go at Germany and keep the pressure on them, I'd fancy England here. Plus Wembley will be an advantage.

If they get bogged down again and lose, or lose on penalties, it's going to be disappointing. They really need to be fulfilling their potential, or at least getting close to it now we're 4 matches in. They've got to know their system by now.

If we play well but Germany play out of their skins and win, then fair enough.

Anyone been having issues with Bet365 this Euros? The app has been dreadful, running slowly and not displaying my bets at crucial times.

Cost me £26 during England Scotland when I tried to cash out an accie and it didn't work. I did complain but they said their policy is to not offer any goodwill for these types of issues, I think because it's been such a widespread issue it would cost them a fortune.

Of course, their CEO will still earn £500m this year

Sounds like they're doing exactly what you'd expect for him to earn that £500m.
