June 14, 20214 yr Talk about missed chances, there were loads of them, at times the game was a bit frustrating to watch. Out of this group seeing Slovakia at top of the table for now, I really didn't see that coming, I was expecting Spain to take it.
June 14, 20214 yr Yes, great for Slovakia (my sweepstake team :lol:) to be top of the group after the first round of games!
June 14, 20214 yr A little bit of trivia Czechoslovakia as one nation won this competition in 1976 beating West Germany 6-3 in a penalty shoot out after a 2-2 draw, Could they face each other in the final :unsure: :thinking:
June 14, 20214 yr Well, my family sweepstake choice of Spain isn't looking too hopeful after that performance :mellow: Guess I'll put my hopes in Belgium x
June 15, 20214 yr Lol it's only one game. Spain absolutely dominated the match by all accounts. They just don't have a decent striker anymore. They built their success from 2008-2012 all on dominating possession and only winning games 1-0 or 2-0 but Torres & Villa were leagues ahead of Morata. Still think they'll go far into the tourno.
June 15, 20214 yr Author Sweden striker Marcus Berg received online abuse after missing an open goal against Spain in Group E at Euro 2020. Berg missed from close range at the far post after impressive build-up by strike partner Alexander Isak. Abusive comments were made after the match under images the 34-year-old has posted on his Instagram account. The Swedish Football Association, who will submit a formal report to police, says the comments are "over the boundaries that we can accept".
June 19, 20214 yr Depends how strong Poland are in defence, I could certainly see them doing a Sweden and getting a 0-0 draw from this match.
June 19, 20214 yr Spain 1-0 up! With a goal initially rules offside but then given after being reviewed by VAR. Think that's the first time I've seen it happen this way round this contest!
June 19, 20214 yr And Spain are 1-0 ahead, Poland definitely have an uphill battle now with Spain dominating possession.
June 19, 20214 yr Super chance for Poland there! Really unlucky to not get that in the back of the net.
June 19, 20214 yr Poland are getting a lot of yellows here! They certainly need to keep their heads now.
June 19, 20214 yr Fantastic result for Poland getting the draw, keeping themselves in the competition! This leaves Spain in a bit of a sticky situation now, they really need to do well against Slovakia to be ensured of a place in the next round (although Portugal were in a similar situation last time round and they turned out alright...)
June 19, 20214 yr Great result for Poland, they played very well and have a good chance of winning against Sweden in their last match. Slovakia will probably think they have a good chance of getting at least 1 point from their match against Spain now.
