@KingSlayer23 mate Portugal won the last Euro solely riding on their defence.

yeah, that's why I said that in international tournaments defensive teams do go the distance. Although it was not all about defence for Portugal, like for instance, the 3-3 game against Hungary was the big turning point in the group stage, but yeah you are right by and large their defence  was a big factor for them in scrapping results against Poland and Croatia

@KingSlayer23 oh sorry mate, I completely misread your comment! 

Especially in the finals, almost all the finals are very close knit affairs and I feel it’ll be the same this time around

Both Saka and Grealish start. Haha, I was rooting for Sancho, but he put Saka in. Southgate, I love you :p

Saka will score tonight!

Exactly the same feeling.....I think Hungary might finish 3rd, honestly if Hungary crash out I will actually feel slightly bad...they actually played so well in all games

Am I wrong to think that this group stage is far more exciting than what we have had at previous major tournaments? Is it because of the formats(4 3rd placed teams going through)?

@AzadHindFauz And boy he proved them wrong. Saka was the star of the match. Saka and Grealish linkup is wonderful and exciting to watch. As an Arsenal fan, we know what we have to do :)

Jack Grealish got everyone in England on hype train again :joy: media is going crazy there. He is David Beckham the second coming. I see this as another thing that we have inherited in India from our colonial masters besides UPSC and Railways

Also, is anyone watching Copa America? Is that Argentinian dude finally winning an international cup? I hope he does or these people will make Copa an annual affair till he wins it. It's like 3rd tournament in 5 years ffs

What's wrong with Spain these days? They try to play tiki-taka but now they don't have the players for it so it just looks like boring, uninspired possession football.
