EURO - 2020 - wall to wall football.
Anyone watching any of the matches?
I understand that the time difference would make it difficult for most people.
How accessible is it down there?
All the matches are being shown live here, one after the other, by the national broadcaster the ORF.
Finland 0 - 1 Russia are playing as I type and the Russians score in the 47min of the first half.

Re: EURO - 2020 - wall to wall football.
Watching all the games! Belgium is my tip!
Super!
Yes, they are looking very good and now that Kevin De Bruyne is back their odds would have shortened somewhat.
The Austrians lost to the Netherlands last night and now they have to get at least a draw against Ukraine. " Squeaky bum time ..."

It was a good game and a great relief for the Austrians.....and they're through, as are feel-good Denmark who hammered the Russians.The Austrians lost to the Netherlands last night and now they have to get at least a draw against Ukraine. " Squeaky bum time ..."
Spain are no guarantee though.
The team's goal was to reach the first knock out round which had not been done by an Austrian national team since the 1954 WC in Switzerland where they finished 3rd.
Now they face Italy at Wembley on Saturday.
Every thing from now is a bonus.

Well, that was a turn-up for the books! Switzerland are through at the expense of France and Spain just got across the line against Croatia.
Quite a day of football.

Re: EURO - 2020 - wall to wall football.
As much as I enjoy watching England lose at anything I do feel for the side. I think they are certainly on the right path.
But Italy certainly are worthy winners! There are some really strong looking nations leading in to next year's World Cup should that go ahead!

Re: EURO - 2020 - wall to wall football.
England took the early lead and then decided to sit back and defend it.
It was never going to work.

Not sure that was the plan, rather a reaction from young players who were facing a technically superior midfield. They will learn from the experience.England took the early lead and then decided to sit back and defend it.

Italy worthy winners in the end.

Re: EURO - 2020 - wall to wall football.
I think Southgate was too conservative in the way he set up his team for the final.Not sure that was the plan, rather a reaction from young players who were facing a technically superior midfield. They will learn from the experience.England took the early lead and then decided to sit back and defend it.

Italy worthy winners in the end.
It looked to me that plan A was to absorb the Italian pressure, hit them on the counter and then park the bus.
I'm happy Italy won in the end, especially for my Italian mates in Adelaide.
Shout out to the "Hyde Park Gamblers"!
David Squires is so good.

Re: EURO - 2020 - wall to wall football.
Sounds like they thought they'd beat Italy at their own game!
So sad to see the fall out from the England fans following the loss. Both online with the hate towards the penalty missers and the violence outside the ground. People were standing outside the gate where Italian fans were exiting to lay into them. Apparently a child was punched in the face.

It's fucked up and disgusting Stuckey and it demeans the entire nation because of the ignorance, stupidity and arrogance of a very aggressive and racist minority.Sounds like they thought they'd beat Italy at their own game!
