Football Fans assemble, Euro 2020 thread ⚽️

[DuncinToffee]

Swap those Panini stickers, print out your wall chart and predict the scores, UEFA Euro 2020 is about to kick off !

So, pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink en join us for some friendly footie chat.

I've bought my panini sticker album off amazon, arriving soon 😁 I'm 46 years old and fairly excited 🤣

I picked up a few free ones from the supermarket and sent one to my son at uni, he has been spending quite a bit on stickers. I have stuck with the ones that came with the album

Good news

Christian Eriksen remains stable in hospital and has sent his greetings to his national team-mates, Danish football officials have said.

"His condition is stable and he continues to be hospitalised for further examination," said a statement.

"This morning we have spoken to Christian, who has sent his greetings to his team-mates.

There's a swaps thread that you're very welcome to join as we've been swapping for a few weeks now (& I'm trying to get 3 books filled for my 3 DSs so the more people on the thread the better )

That's great news!

thanks Duncin

good news to wake up to

Very glad to hear the Erikson news, thanks OP. Debating who I'm going to support!

I don't know if anyone here is following the Copa America but twelve of Venezuela's players and coaching staff have tested positive for Covid-19 a day before their opener against hosts Brazil.

How this tournament has been allowed to go ahead in Brazil of all places is an absolute disgrace.

@babbaloushka

I'm Hungarian so I expect everyone here rooting for Hungary on Tuesday 😁
does that help?

Great to read the positive updates on Erikson, many lovely messages of support for him.

My 2 DC didn't want the sticker books I remember my childhood books - opening the sticker packets hoping for the shiny ones. We do have a wall chart though.

I think the Magyars are going to need all the support they can get with the teams they are up against.

I will root for them, I like an 'underdog' upset

@DuncinToffee
🤣
és köszönöm!

@ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba I'm in! I think I might go Germany for the rest of them. Or North Macedonia. Really like the flag .

Any predictions for England/Croatia?

Think we'll win..get out the group..get some belief and then play someone else and flop. Maybe this year be different but.. shall see

I predict a cagey 1-1 draw but hope the crowd will spur them on to a win

Bad news for Belgium and Leicester fans

Belgium’s Timothy Castagne needs to have surgery on a double fracture of his eye socket and will miss the rest of the Euros.

I've predicted 2 - 1 to England in a competition with my sons footie coach if I'm right I will win him an England shirt so fingers crossed.

Duncin

that collision looked nasty. we were saying how he looked like his cheekbone got crushed/pushed in and thinking bloody hell is this gonna be a warzone Euro?😱

poor chap.
hope surgery & recovery will go well

I'm going for a 2-1 England win.

@babbaloushka

Any predictions for England/Croatia?

I really want England to win but have no predictions at this point. Sometimes I get a gut feeling as they walk onto the pitch but it's not always accurate.

I don't generally follow football, only watch World Cups, Euros and whatever he (MUFC) or DH (LFC) are watching.
DS2 reckons England has a strong team but is beware of the sneaky Croatians🤣

We had trouble with the Croatians last time.

England just need to utilise their strike power properly.

I have given up on predictions, every time I felt confident this season my team let me down

I really hope today that the fans will make the difference.

Seems to be a general consensus of at least 2 goals, I agree with close game but think either side could pip it to 2-1. Would be fab if we could get out the group stages but I always get a bit empathetic for the other team and want them to have a cause for celebration too . Maybe I'm a bit soft for football!

England XI: Pickford, Walker, Stones, Mings, Trippier, Rice, Phillips, Mount, Foden, Sterling, Kane
