EURO 2020 - Group E

Kulusevski and Svanberg will miss the match , tested positive to COVID

Who knows NTs that got vaccinated ? Italy surely, Netherlands and England perhaps too ?

Vaccination might be a decisive factor in this tournament, Spain lost some elements, Sweden too , Portugal have just lost Cancelo who's top 5 their best players ...

It's beyond me why not all teams got vaccinated, I mean even the matter of "priority" towards other social classes loses his sense if I think Olympic athlets have got vaccinated

I think they decided to vaccinate the spanish team after the Busquets news

Nice individual effort by Mak, 1-0 Slovakia

Berezynski and Szczesny looking like school boys here

The farce of Portuguese coaches continues @farfan

Apparently he's won only 1 game out of 5 matches?

Poland look really poor though. Playing like a washed up team atm whilst Slovakia seem to be winning every second duel. A washed up Hamsik is dominating them atm.

Krychowiak, second yellow for stomping, what a moron.

2-1 @micecats

My main man Skriniar
Sorry Myseats

Minnows giving entertaining game after game has been the theme of this Euro so far.

An Inter player who scores to Juve GK eheheheheheh

Great goal anyway

Not bad for a centre-back!

Slovakia gets a deserved win. They came with the appropriate strategy: patience, good defensive positioning and fast counters. Poland out of solutions most of the time and few of their players were not very sharp today. Kyrchowiak with a useless foul leading to red card, not the smartest play of his career.

Might be one of the worst spanish squad of all time? What a downfall.

Hope Isak puts an end to them

Also gives me immense pleasure to see Sebastian Larsson still playing football at the highest level. What a legend. Arsenal made.

Real shame Kulusevski and Svannberg got sick. They could have caused damage to this Spain on the counter

Eibar vs Sweden is quite slow, as expected.

A lot of tidy nice players in this squad, but yeah, they're certainly a step down.

England '96 and Korea 2002 robbed them too tbf  (coincidence or not but always against host NTs)

Not even "lucky " in that period, but they were talented

This Spain .... Average team (no Real Madrid players called up for first time ever not by chance) , led by an average manager and even covid to create other problems

I can't see them go far

I dunno I feel like they've got a very decent squad, and as a person over 30 I still feel like the Xaviesta era was the deviation, not the time after, this is good enough to go deep, and win on a lucky draw, I think.
What matters more is that nowadays Spain seem a lot more varied in their attacking approach, which will serve them well. I rate their current team, they'll be tough to beat.

Isak is moving to a bigger club this summer I guess. Looks a level above every other forward on the field.

Meh

When we had Piszczek and Kuba our play was much better, now the team is poor overall + new coach and still tactically chaotic as heck.

However I think we did quite well in 2nd half until the stupid red and we were on course to win the game. Slovakia is not very good either though

I didnt expect us to get out of group stage anyway. Now that the tournament is over for us, I will be supporting Italy. Forza italia!!!
