This tournament is turning out just like the last euros. Full of shit bang average teams who know if they can somehow get three draws or nick a win somewhere they qualify for the next round. Makes for dull neagtive games and a pretty awful spectacle. Pretty much every game has played out the same, teams just trying not to lose.

A bit like the CL group stages. You would think by now that UEFA would have realised they could probably get more TV money from having more knock-out matches. That's what most fans want.This tournament is turning out just like the last euros.

I feel like the group stage is always like that as no one wants to be eliminated in the first match. Turkey against Italy backfired spectacularly as they parked that bus and still got their ass kicked. These, I wont say smaller, but less talented countries should really just go for it from the start, but I guess Greece showed you can win the damn thing by being clever and taking a very cautious approach...This tournament is turning out just like the last euros.

I think a big part of the problem is you can now qualify even if you dont win a game like portugal did last time. Finishing 3rd and still getting through is a joke and just like with the CL, failure is rewarded.I feel like the group stage is always like that as no one wants to be eliminated in the first match.

Unfortunately UEFA is more likely to address that by adding a further eight teams than cutting back to the 16 team format we had previously
Yeah without doubt. Macedonia v Faroe Islands will still stop me from working though :)Unfortunately UEFA is more likely to address that by adding a further eight teams than cutting back to the 16 team format we had previously

I hope PL refs are watching and studying the standard of reffing.

how far would a team GB get in the euro's ?
It would just be the England team with Andy Robertson at left back, so roughly as far as England would be my guess. Bale as an impact substitute would be useful though
