Netherlands vs Scotland. One can only hope one of such a matchup where neither really has a real stake or rivalry.

Also, demolish all the stadiums!

No! Please, don't! We still need those stadiums for our regular national league matches... The new Bundesliga season starts in late August. :-D

My prediction:

Teams that make it to the semi-final: Germany, England, Switzerland, Ukraine

Yes, that would be quite surprising, but I think we are going to see at least one surprise team in the tournament.

Just use a regular pitch like children do, maybe some stand seats.
I've enjoyed every game in this tournament so far and then England stink the place out.
We have some of the best attacking players in the world and we create just 2 genuine chances against Serbia. Southgate needs to go against his cautious nature and take the shackles off or else the first decent team we play will knock us out (again).

I agree. That match was by far the worst in the tournament so far. And I was shocked how badly both teams performed. It was almost like them trying to hide that they actually can play football and have some the best players in their ranks.

It was exactly as I expected it to be. Typical Soutgate. (Probably – I haven't checked the numbers) still the most expensive team and he drags them down to nothingness.

Maybe someone paid him to throw the game! Wouldn't be the first time!
Nice :)
Now Belgium know what it's like to be Dankert by the VAR - that's the one that said that it's hard to be a VAR in a women's game because there isn't enough ridiculous play acting for him to decide what to do.
England rubbish against Serbia, lucky to win.
Romania were magnificent today against Ukraine. Just far sharper in attack, easy win.
Belgium : De Bruyne, I fear, is past it (speaking as a long-time City fan). Golden era is over for them I think. Well done Slovakia.

Still too early to draw any conclusions.

Indeed, that was a poor match. And one of our commentators at one point said that England's squad has such quality that with any decent coach they'd be at the top, but they have Southgate...
On the other hand, the group's other match wasn't that great either, and I'd call the result the first at least partial surprise of this edition.
The second may be Romania's 3-0 win, definitely by the magnitude of the score.
And now there was the first shock of the edition, with Slovakia's win. Which makes for a real surprise to see the standings in the group at the moment.
Heh, I'd say France is joining England in underperforming. And let's see how bad Mbappe's injury is.

I wouldn't say that France underperformed. I would say that Austria overperformed. Haven't seen them that strong. They never stopped running and fighting. Mbappe's nose is probably broken. Guess he will keep playing, but has to wear a mask.

Yeah, another "great" match from England. (◔_◔)
