You should just give into your love of portugal

[Josquius]

I fail to have the slightest interest in this. I guess it just doesn't feel like its actually going to happen.
I shall support....Finland.

Group F 

[Sheilbh]

It's a bit like Chelsea with England for me - weirdly and improbably it's somehow quite a likeable team (especially if Foden, Grealish, Mount, Sterling will somehow be playing - plus the People's Footballer, Marcus Rashford and DCL). I hope they are as fun as they should be with those players.

I feel much less confident about my selections than I did about those I made in the last World Cup.

[Josephus]

I'm in. Thanks for setting it up

[mongers]

England vs Scotland in London on the 18th June should be 'interesting'.


Off hand, isn't the 18th the anniversary of Waterloo??

[Tamas]

Group F 

I didn't realise what was Hungary in for.  This is going to be ugly.

[Maladict]

I didn't realise what was Hungary in for.  This is going to be ugly.

Nobody is going to expect anything from Hungary in this group. Plus, you only have to trip up one of the three to get some epic meltdowns.

[Duque de Bragança]

Group F 

That's O Grupo da Morte, obrigado.

I was planning to watch some games in Budapest and Munich but cancelled it due to the Covid crisis.

[Jacob]

Wait... Denmark gets to play all their games in Copenhagen? There's no home and away games?
