The Euro 2016 Thread

Good game, I think the final is going to be very good. Both of the teams have good and talented squad, but I think France will go until the end.

 
Barcelona has signed a great defender in my opinion. Umtiti is very strong, has good timing, always at the right places. Reminds me a bit of Thuram.

 
I'm predicting that France will win on Sunday.

Despite being in the final, I haven't been that impressed by Portugal's performances throughout this tournament.

Yeah, I would prefer France to win and think they will.

Wish we had done everything we could to sign Griezmann whilst we had the chance. Player of the tournament and would have him over Costa any day but just like with Aguerro, we missed the boat.

 
I finally figured out who Antoine Griezmann looks like. Jennifer Connelly.

Can't think of a French player that I dislike. Even though you have Spurs and Arsenal players in the team. I have nothing against Lloris, Koscielny or Giroud. Would prefer France to beat Portugal. The look of delight on Pepe's face during the Wales game is something I don't want to see again.

Had a terrible first half to the Cup final but was much better second and widely praised for the CL game

What's the issue with him?

He was an absolute disaster for our game against Spurs and had a poor FA Cup where he exhibited lack of professionalism.

To be fair, he did well in Champions League and handled the Croatia flares incident well.

The war against Spurs reminded me of WC Final 2010 under Webb, one of those games where when the players turn up with that sort of mentality, what can he do? The spectacle in terms of football suffers either way.

He can try booking players for booting hazard all over the pitch, and send players off that deserved it. Hes a preening, poncing, look at me twat.

Only the Spurs players turned up with that mentality. With the incompetence Clattenburg showed to not properly send off players, it's only through luck that none of our lads were injured.

Clattenburg also acted very unprofessionally before the FA Cup as evidenced by these pictures in the tunnel.

If you want to see a preening poncing look at me twat, watch the Copa America final. Not saying Clattenburg isn't, but that guy took it to a new level.

I was genuinely pleased for Wales and how far they progressed in this tournament but the celebrations on their return to Cardiff struck me as a bit over the top for a team that only reached the last 4

I'm pretty sure the Iceland players will or have been feted similarly for making the quarterfinals. Yes it does look a little small time, but that shouldn't be said in a derogatory way; that's what they are--small countries.

They massively performed above their skill level and put larger and more renowned teams to shame with their teamwork, effort, and passion.

Publicly celebrating their accomplishments can also inspire kids who are just starting out, and it may increase merchandising revenue and tickets for international matches and friendlies, so the Iceland and Wales FA can benefit financially as well.

These are major breakthroughs for football in those countries. It may be the start of something great, or it may not come again for generations. Either way, I don't see a problem with them making the most of it.

If they start to consistently reach the same point at international tournaments and they have a parade each time, that would be different.

 
Very clever if you ask me. Organising a bus parade and taking advantage of their greatest ever footballing triumph will no doubt live in the memories of millions of welsh people and it’s a brilliant opportunity for welsh football to progress.
