It's ok, I hate the Dutch too :console: Never forget!

And the English, but at least they screwed Portugal long before I was born.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

This means, unless there is a Batavian miracle, Czechia or Denmark in semi-final. Not a common prediction before the tournament started.

Unlike HVC, I don't hate the Dutch, that's the best rival of Portugal in football.  :P

Albion, OTOH...

I never said I hated Portugal. :huh:

I do find them somewhat annoying. :)

Ok, maybe hate is wrong on my end too.  Irrational joy at their misfortune :lol: ? Stems back to the battle of Nuremberg

England and Holland really do have a lot in common. Dont they

Consistently over-hyping their teams after initial wins against minnows seems to be one of them.

Some of the newer Dutch players showed promise, Dumfries in particular, but the team is just not good enough to cut it in a knockout phase.

Fair enough  :hug:

Liep

So beat the Czechs in Baku to reach the semis. I can see that happening.

This is a much more boring game than it should be.

For Swedes Denmark (and Iceland) is normally the second team, we cheer on them unless they are facing us. Likewise, but I think to a lesser extent, Finland and even sometimes Norway.

I would think that the same would go for Benelux and perhaps Iberia? Is it so? Is it the same for Danes?

No, not really for the Benelux. I mean that's just Belgium and the Netherlands, really.

There's no real rivalry between the two, which you might expect. But we're also not big on supporting each other.

That said, I'd be happy to see them do well this tournament. This generation is deserving of a title.

There's still hope!


I actually think Italy will take it this year.

Just checked historic euro winners.
Huh. Some weird teams on there. Soviets and Holland. Completely didn't realise that.
