Tournament starts in just over an hour with the jocks up against the boche who are hosting the tournament.

Pre tournament odds:



Ing-ger-laand!! Score some facking goals.



Ps. I used the 'football' prefix because 'soccer' isn't a real thing. Football is football.

Kind of surprised to see them as 45/1 odds. They’re the most experienced side I think in the Euros. That midfield should control a lot of matches. Today’s matchup against Spain is such an amazing matchup. Excited to see the young Spaniard Yamal play with the international squad. That group with them and Italy is insane. I’m taking whoever wins that group to win the whole thing.

The University of Oxford has produced some real idiotic people and things, but coining the sport “soccer” was probably one of the dumbest. England finds a way to ruin everything, though. You probably know this by now. Look at your breakfasts.

I love these villainous sounding Easter euro national anthems.

I know little of euro soccer but wouldn't have expected England to be the faves.

They should have never choked at home in 20. England is like the Marty chiefs. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Nice run from Morata to take the lead. They’ve looked really good in the midfield against a very good Croatia midfield as well.

[George Liquor]

Welp

Match is really opening up now. Croatia needs to get one back soon before it gets out of hand. Spain looking really good, though.

Sports are more fun when there are teams who can't help but trip over their own feet. The Red Sox and Cubs for a long time. The Bills. The Chiefs were that.

The Netherlands and England can never quite put it all together.

The only thing England has going for them this year is that Harry Maguire got hurt just in time to be left off the squad. That and not having any Chelsea scum in the starting 11.

Spain should have little problem in this match.

Croatia is getting opportunities. This one could easily be 2-2.

Group b is wild

[Womble]

Are Croatia the England team in disguise?

Croatia as of late as in the last 8 years has seemed to be we can score but we are also getting scored on, unlike that Italy defense a few years back that hadn’t conceded a goal in like 30 games or something ridiculous.
