Think Germany would struggle against England with our attacking finesse...
No mate the match would be like one of those training games defence vrs attack. We would be defending obviously now that we are keeping clean sheets we play for a 0-0 and penalties cos our history in those vrs Germany is so good lol
Is there seeding for the tournament groups? Can't remember a time when there's been 3 of the historical faves in one group.
When the Euro draw took place in 2019, Uefa decided on a new system to seed the team purely based on qualifying performance.
Portugal was comfortable participating in Euro2020, but did not enjoy the particularly impressive campaign. Ended behind Ukraine..
As a result, they were seeded third in the European Championship and prepared for a tough group.
It was also thanks to the Ukrainians that France became a group of death.
France won the qualifying group but scored only one point in two games from Turkey.
And that meant Ukraine was able to take the last top seed spot when Artem Besyedin won the last-minute equalizer in his last match in Serbia.
Germany and Hungary, on the other hand, were both pre-drawn into Group F as Munich and Budapest had already been selected as the group’s two host cities.

The seeding was done (rightly or wrongly) by performance in qualifying groups so the top seeds were: Belgium, Italy, England, Germany, Spain and Ukraine
Second seeds included France and Netherlands. Portugal were third seeds because they only just squeaked through qualifying behind Ukraine.
Pot 1: Belgium, Italy, England, Germany, Spain, Ukraine Pot 2: France, Switzerland, Croatia, Poland, Netherlands, Russia Pot 3: Portugal, Turkey, Denmark, Austria, Sweden, Czech Republic Pot 4: Wales, Finland, Playoff A, Playoff B, Playoff C, Playoff D
This is a very entertaining game for a neutral to watch. Both goals are great.
I know you're Chinese but there is no neutral in this game for the English. Come on Hungary!!
Haha, I know many of you hate France. But I must admit judging from this game both France and Hungary look better than England. Hungary did especially well. I'm surprised at how good they are! They defended and attacked both brilliantly and effectively. I really like England (always support them in tournaments) but this Hungarian team is such an inspiration and I kept thinking England would lose to them while watching the game. I know none of the Hungarian players (apart from Nego of course) yet they almost beat France and totally deserved the point.
I heard the other day that England have the most expensive squad at this tournament but having read the posts on the England v Scotland match thead and then watched today's Hungary game I don't think the total value of a squad matters.
Some?! None of us like the garlic smelling bastards.
the premiership over rates our players along with the commentators. Then again our manager and some of our fans are no different.
I might be a tad bias towards Hungary having lived there for a few years and also desperate to live there again.
Continual digs at England, but neither of these teams can defend. Some shocking marking and shape.
Yeah i'd be absolutely gutted if we couldn't defend and had just ripped Portugal apart 4-2.
Fantastic result, but that’s not what I’m saying. Just pointing out that neither team defended well which could catch them out later in the tournament. It certainly caught Portugal out today.
Most of the ex pundits that "lost their roles" as part of the recent revamp by Sky, BBC, ITV etc have been taken on by Al Jazeera from what I hear from a friend who is involved they are having a great time

Who would’ve seen that coming after the poor German performance the other night?
