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. [Reply]

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. [Reply]

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. [Reply]

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. [Reply]

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. [Reply]
