0-0 between England and Scotland at half time. That suits Scotland so far.

Both teams have had a decent chance.

Stones hit the post with a header from a corner for England, while O'Donnell had a decent effort saved by Pickford for Scotland.

England playing far too slow and making it easy for Scotland.

Scotland will definitely be happy so far, just over half an hour to go.

Really poor game.

Scotland will be delighted though, defended well enough and a big point for them. They will probably go through if they beat Croatia in Glasgow in their final game.

England are almost certainly going through to the next round but they were terrible tonight. Very slow in attack.

They will come unstuck when they play a stronger nation in the knockout rounds.

Ned this was a typical southgate game ultra cautious no ambition to win game at any stage... your right a better team will beat England based on their two games so far

As usual England go into a tournament over-hyped. Then they play some games.......

Oh dear......

Goulash brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "playing the game on the ground" ;)

Re: England draw with Scotland " Euro 2020 topic "

Three more games today with the last of the second round of group games.

After this point, all remaining group games in each group will be played simultaneously.


That means today is the last 2pm game of the tournament.

That is the first game of today as Hungary play France in Budapest - there will be a full stadium of 68,000 again.


Hungary lost 3-0 in their first game against Portugal. They can't afford to lose this game if they want to stay in tournament, in reality.


France won 1-0 against Germany in their first game. They will secure qualification with a win, although a point will almost certainly be enough.

Re: Hungary v France underway " Euro 2020 topic "

Sat Jun 19, 2021 1:49 pm

Hungary have taken the lead against France in first half stoppage time.

Attila Fiola got the goal.

Should be a good second half now with France having to attack.

Both teams still going forward at every opportunity.

Good game to watch.

Re: Hungary v France underway " Euro 2020 topic "

Sat Jun 19, 2021 2:26 pm

1-1 now.

Antoine Griezmann with the equaliser.

Re: Hungary v France underway " Euro 2020 topic "

Sat Jun 19, 2021 2:56 pm

It finishes 1-1 between Hungary and France.

France now have four points which will almost certainly be enough for them to qualify. They go back to Budapest to play Portugal in their last game.

Hungary have picked up their first point. They can still qualify, but will have to beat Germany in Munich.



Next up today is the other game in that group as Portugal play Germany in Munich. It begins at 5pm.

Portugal beat Hungary 3-0 in their first game. They will secure qualification with a win. Again, a point will probably be enough for Portugal to progress.

Germany lost 1-0 against France in their opening game. They will be on the brink of elimination with a defeat.

Expected game of the day now underway between Portugal and Germany.

Re: Portugal v Germany underway " Euro 2020 topic "

Sat Jun 19, 2021 4:17 pm

Portugal lead early on.

Cristiano Ronaldo with his third goal of the tournament.

Re: Portugal v Germany underway " Euro 2020 topic "

Sat Jun 19, 2021 4:37 pm

1-1

Looks like a Ruben Dias own goal.

Re: Portugal v Germany underway " Euro 2020 topic "

Sat Jun 19, 2021 4:40 pm

And now Germany are 2-1.

Another own goal, this time by Raphael Guerreiro.

Re: Portugal v Germany underway " Euro 2020 topic "

Sat Jun 19, 2021 5:10 pm

Kai Havertz makes it 3-1.

Great game.

Re: Portugal v Germany underway " Euro 2020 topic "

Sat Jun 19, 2021 5:20 pm

Germany now 4-1 up.

Robin Gosens gets the goal.


Portugal have been awful defensively.

Re: Germany thrashing Portugal " Euro 2020 topic "

Sat Jun 19, 2021 5:26 pm

Diogo Jota gets a goal back.

4-2.

Re: Germany thrashing Portugal " Euro 2020 topic "

Sat Jun 19, 2021 5:35 pm

Why have most of the pundits got us more or less through with 4 points. It looks like everyman and his dog may get 4 points in 3rd place.

Something to do with 4 points being enough in majority of previous tournaments. A bit like 40 points being the magic number in the premier league.

Re: Germany beat Portugal " Euro 2020 topic "

Sat Jun 19, 2021 5:58 pm

Germany beat Portugal 4-2 to keep their chances of progressing alive.


Next up is the final game in the second round of group games at 8pm as Spain play Poland in Seville.

Spain drew 0-0 with Sweden in their first game. A win here will more or less guarantee them qualification.

Poland lost 2-1 to Slovakia in their first game. They really need to avoid defeat if they want to go through.

The four best third placed teams go through so, if we finish 3rd, we only need two other third placed teams to have a worst points and/or goal difference than us.

We have four points and it will 99.9% be enough.


Group B will probably have a third placed team with a maximum of three points. For that not to happen Denmark would have to not beat Finland as well as Belgium not beating Russia.


The third placed team in Group C will be only three points unless Austria v Ukraine ends in a draw.


Group F will only have a third placed team reach four points if France don't beat Portugal.


In Group D, if there's a draw between Croatia and Scotland then the third placed team will have less than four points.


If Spain beat Poland tonight, then they would have to not beat Slovakia for the third placed team to get four points.


The chances of at least three of those going against us are extremely unlikely.


Put together with the fact that in our group, Turkey can't catch us and Switzerland need a five-goal swing in goal difference.

Won't be a high scoring game tomorrow because Italy are rotating their team.

The high probability is we will finish 2nd but at the very least we'll get a best third placed team.
