Re: Euro 2020 (2021?) Predictions!!!
I’ll start with my own predictions.
Winner: France
Losing finalist: Germany
Top scorer: Harry Kane
Surprise package/overachieving team: Scotland
Most disappointing team: Spain
Impact of covid on euros: Minimal, some players will have to isolate and miss out, but all games will be played as scheduled
Random prediction:
1 Booing of BLM protests will become a major flashpoint with possibility of player walkoffs
2 England to hammer Croatia in their opener, Harry Kane to score a hattrick. Football will be coming home. Then it all goes stale and they’ll be knocked out in the last 16. Everybody laughs.
Re: Euro 2020 (2021?) Predictions!!!
The difficullty lies in the Group stages, because they are so lopsided. Most obvious is Group C -Netherlands, Ukraine, Austria, and North Macedonia, where Group D has Germany, Portugal, France and Hungary. It means if England win GroupD they play the runner-up in Group F, whereas the second in D plays runner up in E, ie Spain, Poland, Sweden or Slovakia. To complicate further three of the best third placed teams will advance to the knockout stage-

Random prediction: Top teams are Portugal and France, with other semi-fnalists Italy and Belgium.
I expect Croatia to beat England 1-0 in their game.

From just inside the Scottish half the Czechs score a goal as the ball sails over the Scottish goalkeeper who was camped near the centre circle to get a better view of the match presumably or was feeling socially isolated or something. One for the reels (pun intended)

a) for the neutral, a superb goal.
b) Czech Republic under-rated, just as i think Croatia are not the team they were in Russia, thus over-rated.
c) Scotland played quite well, but as with Spain, they have no finishing power.
