As an Iranian, you must be thrilled that John 'Bomb Iran' Bolton was sacked by Trump yesterday (not that Trump is all that much better)

For me international football is good n fun when there is no club football playing because the quality tend to be poor.

The most important factor in winning international tournament is your defense, midfield and gk. Can they defend. If they answer is yes then you have a chance. Then pray that you got lucky. 

Take Netherland for example, if de light can grow fast, and koeman can find the perfect solution I can see them winning euro.

Well with all these youths that are coming at Chelsea and all the youth that England has I think we are in for another era of good players for England. 

Think by next world cup they will be a little more mature and take a go at the title.

Italy is dark horse for Euro. They can win it.

although they have not the best depth in some areas and I am not impressed with their fullbacks at all (Emerson is probably their best and he is hardly a truly top class FB)

also, Bonucci is showing age a bit (he made a horrid play thsi game, albeit nothing to do with age, it was a terrible blind backpass that should have cost them a goal)

After Romagnoli and him it is a huge drop off, unless  Mancini or Bastoni , the youngsters come good

Chielini is really badly injured and will be damn near 36 next Euros

they are loaded in the MF and winger though and have 2 decent strikers

 

after the top 6 (no order)

France

Germany

Spain

England

Belgium

Netherlands

 

I rate them in the next group (they are the best of these I think)

Italy

Portugal

Switzerland

Croatia

Oroslini (another left footed RWer I have listed) on his debut

[Vesper 28,772]

first ever international goal for Chiesa (FINALLY, lol, he has hit the woodwork (not kidding) 7 TIMES over his 17 games)

[Vesper 28,772]

truly crazy game

4th of the year

Good last international day for us in terms of City game. 

Kovacic played 65 minutes, James 30, Willian zero, Michy is on the bench. 

For City: Jesus, 88 minutes, Gundogan and De Bruyne starters tonight... 

[Vesper 28,772]

Gnabry is a beast for the Germans

hat trick again 

5 1

Goretzka with a brace
