EUROS DAY 5 - Beware the Group of Death!

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Another interesting day yesterday, Scotland losing out to a goal from the half way line, Slovakia shocking 10-man Poland and Sweden and Spain ending up with the first 0-0 of the Championships

Today sees the last Group to kick off, Group E and the infamous “Group of Death” containing Germany, World Cup holders France and current Euros holders Portugal. Oh and Hungary.

It’s a ridiculously tough group but the format of the tournament means that all 3 of the big guns could still very well progress to the knockout stages.

Only 2 games today - no 2pm offering - so my predictions are:

5pm ko: Hungary 0-1 Portugal

8pm ko France 2-2 Germany

How is your wall chart looking? Have you predicted the whole tournament in pencil?

Manchester (he/him)

Today should definitely be a good one,

Hungary 0 - Portugal 3

Is my prediction, I tend to agree that France v Germany will be a draw

I went conservative with Hungary / Portugal as the game is in Budapest with a decent crowd in.. but then home advantage didn’t really help the Russians or Scots so you may well be right!

Looking forward to tonight's games, good chance to see how they play as we'll be playing one of them if we come top.

I'm going to go for...

Hungary 1-3 Portugal

France 2-0 Germany

Yep I’m hoping for Portugal to come 2nd if (big if, long way to go!) England win Group D - not an easy game but probably the lesser of the 3 evils!

I think Germany will pull off an upset and beat France.

France 0 : 2 Germany

Hungary 1 : 2 Portugal

Portugal beat Hungary comfortably by 3 goals to nil

And in a far less attractive game Germany and France drew 1-1

All eyes on wales tomorrow

Full stadium in Bucharest, looks and sounds amazing! Let’s hope that’s the norm back here next season!

I think we will win our group now after taking care of Croatia. So I’m hoping Germany take 2nd place in their group. If we are gonna win it we have to beat the best anyway. So let’s have the Germans, it would be special to play them at wembley and knock them out

Full marks to Mssrs Tea Monkey and Single ex cuck for their 3-0 prediction to Portugal in game one, incredible it was still 0-0 entering the 84th minute!

Now the BIG one! Who’s gonna win France v Germany!?

Backed France to win the whole thing so hope they win tonight but just want it to be an entertaining match

Can they both lose?

Actually as a neutral this is THE game from the Group stage (other than England, of course) that I think most of us have been looking forwards to! Let’s hope footballs the winner!

1-0 to the French at HT, the 3rd OG of the tournament so far!

Not a classic but always going to be cagey let’s hope for more goals in the 2nd half!
